I’m silly, I’m scatterbrained, I’m not really what you would call a “planner”. If I don’t even know the day of the week, how can I be expected to know what day of my cycle it is? [...]

That’s adolescence, I think, feeling like everyone else has it figured out when no one does.

The internet is a cool invention, huh?

I wouldn’t do 15 again for a shit ton of money, which is saying something because I’m really poor.

Sorry you went through all of that, and it certainly does not preclude you from being a fantastic parent. Take it from someone who knows. Thanks for reading.

Hugs to your girl.

Yeah, it was hard. Mostly because of expectations unmet… everyone’s!

Was in same-sex school till I was in college. The only thing I had to do was to study, study and study some more. I now know to appreciate the simplicity such a narrow life afforded. I never experienced any teenage angst when I was a teenager. I am experiencing them now though. So perhaps everything evens out at the end…

Yup, raging teenage hormones, normal teenage drama, & a mood disorder on TOP of that! My parents spent awhile refusing to believe it was anything other than normal teenage stuff, but eventually my mother made me go to see the psychiatrist. Thank the gods.

Suffice it to say, surviving 15 is one of the hardest things I have ever done. And I sincerely hope that I will be as understanding as you are when my own (yet to be born) children are teenagers. I sincerely hope I don’t kill them. I don’t know how my parents managed to deal with me, but I suspect they found a deep well of patience they didn’t even know they had.
