My life as a teen is not very different from my life now. I think I am even more teen like now than I was back then. It took me to age 16 to even want to try a glass of wine. I loved reading books, writing, listening to music and playing the guitar. I liked painting. I had other interests and many still sort of interest me. I also liked just walking in nature or biking on small roads. I didn't mind helping with cooking if adults stayed out of the kitchen.

The only thing was I was at constant war with my mom, she was hot tempered and so was I, at least when it came to her. But I don't regret it, it's like we yelled it out of our systems. Today we're not enemies at all.

I know my parents were immature when I was a teen, they focused more on acting and appearance than on their kids' wellbeing. But it is nothing I could have changed. And I actually think they couldn't either, they just needed time to mature. So it wasn't like they ever had my back.

One thing I do regret though is that I ate way way too many sweets and brushed too little. Back in the day they used "silver" fillings and I got plenty. With time they expand and split your teeth. Since there was no other material to fix teeth, it would have been good if I had been less of a sugar junkie.
