Week ten of fifty -two weeks with your diary, The Diarist entry prompts

Oh the joys of being a teenager, do you remember? I do. I was a little shy in my early years of my teens, then by the time I left school at sixteen a bit of a rebel. The body art and piercings appeared, I cut off my hair, my mum went ape-shit. I started going to what were called “under eighteen raves” ( club nights for teenagers), and this is where I learned I love to dance, and I love music… and then there was the smoking habit.

I managed to kick the habit of smoking to look “cool,” and reduced the rebel like behaviour — it’s the Aquarius in me, sorry not sorry. It only comes out now on a full Moon. (LOL)

This week, let’s take a trip down memory lane, tell us:

  • What’s memorable about your teenage years — good or bad?
  • What kind of teenager were you?
  • Where did you live and grow up, is it the same place you’re located now?
  • Are you the parent of a teenager? What’s it like, are they similar to how you were?
  • Anything you would love to
