what were you like as a teenager?

a muppet. My conscious awareness of life i would say was very very restricted. it was a bit like this:

youve got a garden plant you are growing so you stick it in a small pot by itself and then later transfer it to the garden, in the mix with everything else. Thats how different it felt moving from schooldays to real world. I just had no idea, no planning for anything longterm.

back in them days playing on scaffolding buildings etc was great fun :D

My wife has known me since I was 14 so I asked her -

'You haven't changed, you're still immature, noisy and untidy but you haven't got your nice bottom now'
 
Immature, shy, funny (hilarious sometimes if I do say so myself) and a bit of a spanner.

I'm pretty much unchanged. :p
 
On a related note, I'm surprised how uncommon death by misadventure is during childhood and adolescence. When I think back to the stupidly dangerous things I did back then, I wince. I wasn't particularly unusual, either. Somehow, the worst injury I recieved was only a moderate cut about a foot long on my arm when I ran my homemade sledge into a tree and caught my arm on a nail. Bled all over the place, but it wasn't really serious.
 
At school, popular. Away from school, always was a complete loner with an indescribable home life. Left school and became incredibly arrogant and up my own arse, competitive and always thinking I was better than everyone else. Yet I was the anxious, overly shy loser with nobody.

Now, I've calmed it down a bit, a lot more confident but still a loner, mostly negative, I somehow manage to bring everything down. Yet, weirdly I always manage to have a hot, amazing GF :p

i've swerved a few close ones but i fear the asbestos roof of the chicken shed we smashed up in 1994 will come back to haunt me. if only i'd known what asbestos was at the time :(
 
tbh, even though I hate admitting this, I used to use my size to my advantage, I kind of stopped growing at age 13-14, I was 6 foot, and atleast 15 stone at 15, and it weren't fat (although that has happened recently) And I come from a school in the East End of London, (Blessed John Roche, for people that might be from the same area as me) I used to use my size as a barrier, ad pretty much do what I wanted, I look back now and I cringe, I was a ****. Even though I was in the top class, and ended up with 6 A-C's, I used to use my size.

I really wish I could go back and change how I was, but now, my best mates are my mates from school, I don't know whether it was I had an extreme amount testosterone, or that I was just an idiot. but at any chance I had, I mis-behaved, but for some reason, the teachers never took it further, maybe that was because I did my work well, or they couldn't be ****** I'll never know.
 
I seriously lack confidence.

I need a job, but I'm so dam scared of the interview and I don't even have one yet.

It's so bad its actually preventing me job hunting because I just don't want to be in that situation.

Anyway, wheres my sympathy?
 
Drunk, out lots, lazy with a hint of "treating my folks like ****" thrown in for good measure. had a strong appreciation of right and wrong though as did most my mates so we never got into any actual bother, harmless boozed up fun tbh.

I also lacked confidence until one day I realised it's all in the mind so decided I was confident and never looked back.
 
I was a good kid stuck in a **** school achieving 26% A-C, because I was bright the teachers didn't bother me until I used to go berserk mode and start cussing them and the school for failing my academia(*** the rest of the gangster/chavs).

When I used to misbehave or get into fights, I always use to point the blame on the other person LOL. They always used to get in trouble, because in the teachers eyes I would never do such a thing.

Was big tall lad for my age. im 6,3 now at 22, so i was a bit intimidating to the other puplis, so get in a lot of fight with retards wanting to test my giant strength and end up getting ***** up.

I just used to manipulate the stupid teachers and retards I used to study with. 26% A-C may I remind you, inner city london school are ****.

I would say I was a manipulative *******, I liked to take the **** out of people,(especially teachers with stupid boring life stories) too serious for my age at the time, anti social mainly with my age group, procrastinate a lot.
 
I was a saint to those who needed me to be an a complete *** to those who didn't.

This still applies to today but is commonly known as a suck up where the job is concerned.
