FIFTY-TWO WEEKS WITH YOUR DIARY THE DIARIST ENTRY

What’s Memorable About Your Teenage Years?

We all have a story to tell, right?

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 share, reflection on, write a diary entry about, an open letter, or essay related to the theme of “teenage years”

Don’t let this list be a limitation. This week’s The Diarist entry is all about exploring the theme of the teens. Get creative!
