Every day I will try to share with you a little bit of my "wisdom"🥴 It might be in the form of a little windbag article, a short video, just a quote or two or a little QuizzerTeezer (?) Mostly based on your requests, questions, subjects that particularly matter to you and concerns about the Teenage Mountains to Climb. 👉The theme song and Platform for these subjects is a song /lyric sung and written by Janis Jan in 1975. 💔https://youtu.be/Yi-5tiHE48c?si=z-nlZktCnqO4Q_1l
How many TEENAGERS can and could seriously relate to this song.... when I was 17, I felt the same way, being surrounded by all my gorgeous friends who all went on dates and were the type of beautiful all guys went for now. I was super awkward. “But it's true...just staying true to yourself does pay off. I am now 21 years old, and these are things you no longer care about...So for those girls who feel like ugly ducklings now, do not worry--it will all pass once you move on in life to college where I found respect and knowledge. When 3 are older and more accepting of all types of magnificence and understand that “Different stands for Beauty and Freedom of the own Spirit”!
~Anna
"AT SEVENTEEN"
By Janis Ian
💔💭I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles Who married young and then retired The valentines I never knew The Friday night charades of youth Was spent on one more beautiful At seventeen I learned the truth...
And those of us with ravaged faces Lacking in the social graces Desperately remained at home Inventing lovers on the phone Who called to say "Come dance with me" And murmured vague obscenities It isn't all it seems at seventeen...
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs Whose name I never could pronounce Said: "Pity please the ones who serve They only get what they deserve" The rich relation hometown queen Marries into what she needs With a guarantee of company And haven for the elderly...
So remember those who win the game Lose the love they sought to gain In debitures of quality and dubious integrity Their small-town eyes will gape at you In dull surprise when payment due Exceeds accounts received at seventeen...
To those of us who knew the pain Of valentines that never came And those whose names were never called When choosing sides for basketball It was long ago and far away The world was younger than today When dreams were all they gave for free to ugly duckling girls like me...
We all play the game, and when we dare We cheat ourselves at solitaire Inventing lovers on the phone Repenting other lives unknown That call and say: "Come on, dance with me" And murmur vague obscenities At ugly girls like me, at seventeen...💔�

You know, adolescents are overly sensitive to rejection and judgment. The fear of being rejected, and not fitting in, can lead to hesitant and awkward behaviour. We all feel awkward, often due to a combination of factors. Unfamiliar, stressful environments, miscommunications, and conflicts can all cause awkward situations or emotions. For example, meeting new people can be awkward, especially if you don't know what to say
The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They often solve the problem by defying their parents, and teachers and begin copying one another. This helps no one
I would love to hear from you, your thoughts, experience, and how you feel when you see an awkward classmate, friend, or someone in your family. On which side would you be⁉️ …Let’s talk! Let’s explain! Both sides, now.
With love
