Did you like being a teenager?

I always associate teenagers with being highly hormonal, moody, or otherwise angry, fussy and whiny. I think as a teenager I was fine and I don't think I was anything different from usual, although being in secondary school did make things more complicated. I think secondary school can be very intimidating, especially if you're a plucky Year 7 newly transitioned from juniors school. I think I was sadder as a teenager than when I was in infants and juniors because of the stricter environment. Secondary felt like it tore me away from the joy and sweetness of infants because it all seems harsher and of course with older kids, you get a more complex array of personalities from all sorts of backgrounds.
