how awkward were your teen years : Othor Games

Still going through them. Not akward at all except telling my evangelical parents I was atheist ( just keep it at that) so yeah. Never been depressed, have a gf and boring stuff like that

It's completely normal to be a virgin in your teen years and even into your twenties. The weirdos are the ones who aren't, and I'm being dead serious.

This is true. I met a person who was weirdo in such a fashion. I told 'em I wanted to not lose my virginity. A certain wistfulness came over this person. Pondering what could have been...

Currently, they're pretty awkward. I'm a loner (but a respected one) and a freak at that. My military knowledge doesn't help the situation much.

I was very quiet, prone to rather severe mood swings, had no friends within a hundred miles (That's still true, actually) and had many crushes at once. I'm so glad I'm out of high school. :facepalm:

No, no, I'll resist the urge to respond to comment on that

Trust me, she was not the looker, and neither was her girlfriend

Ain't that the truth.

@Defaulted- Did anyone ever call you "obsessed with war"?

...Maybe. I don't remember clearly. But it's more along the lines of jokingly calling me the person most likely to kill everyone in my school. I remind them that the joke ain't so funny from my perspective when Columbine's a couple miles away, and they're comparing me to some of the worst people ever.

You know something about millitary hardware or history and everyone thinks you want to kill them.

My teen years started out quite nice. I wasn't very awkward, but then I became somewhat awkward and just sorta implemented that into my personality. If I do an awkward thing, I comment on it in a self depreciative way. Overall, the first few years were good, then it moved to a few years of crap, then ended on a good note. At nineteen I still see myself as a teenager, but I suppose that'll end in five months and six days.

PM me and the drinks will be on me. A 20th is always a good time to party. :thumbsup:

If you don't, I will.

Sorry. You're a teenager. And you obviously have a terrible idea of stereotypes. And Antibody is right, you're being rebellious. Non-conformity has no difference than conformity. You're conforming to those who don't conform. Sorry to burst your little world. You're nothing special.

Cold. I like it. :thumbsup:

...More or less. It's less the knowledge of firearms as the knowledge of heavy arsenal, technical parlance and strategy. Everyone in CO owns a gun, basically. Nothing weird about that. I guess it's just being a loner that magnifies my quirks to "Is this kid insane?" The administrators probably think I'm antisocial in a very bad way due to some middle school incidents. All my teachers would tell you otherwise.

That's not the important part it's the ~~Lucario~~ person you give it to that matters.

This whole Lucario thing is really starting to confuse me.

And while I'm still in my teen years, I can already see how awkward they are. However, I'm waiting until they're over so I can laugh at myself. It's just no fun laughing at your present self. Go figure.

They were uneventful, for most parts. Generally nothing positive to say about them.

Isn't this the theme for most, if not all of your life?

Possibly, sans the whining.

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:46 pm

Drab, boring, no fun.

At least, that's what everyone tells me. I didn't spend my teenage years getting drunk, getting high, having six and going to parties every weekend.

No, that's what all the cool kids did. -_-

Very. Glasses, zits, when from a pudgy 5' 9" to bean pole 6' 3" in one year. /shudder. Hate to think about it.

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:19 pm

Not really awkward. Just boring. Really boring.

I'm still technically in them, so I'll go through the years up until 15 or 16. No fun being all reflective about relatively recent past

Teenage years were mixed in terms of awkwardness. I was always smart, funny and good at sports, which helped me fit in and I got along well with just about everybody. I did well at school and in various sports, had a good relationship with my family and didn't get in trouble. My awkwardness came in dealing with girls - I wasn't really shy, but I was certainly awkward and didn't ever have more than one-night encounters (no six

) until into my 16's. Good years overall, although I prefer my current ones

At 16, I am still in them, but really, its not all that bad. I am very well respected by everyone at my school. Everyone knows me as Master Chief for the most part. Eh, the awkward part.....? Not so much for acne. Thick glasses though, and more facial hair than most people which is pretty awesome IMO. Hmm...not to much about me, I know everyone at my school and I am the only one who has built a PC. All in all it was kind of boring. Oh and from the age of 11-14 I lived in Italy, fun times there.

Not awkward, just crap, for the most part.

Theres no need to insult me, I have my own opinion and I don't need you attacking it. I can get my friends to say just how different/wierd I am. Really, I'm not sure how to describe it but I'll do nae on anything to be different (in a good way). It's got nothing to do with conformity but everything to do with uniqueness for the sake of it.

Which is, I'm sorry to say, stereotypical. The entire teenager stereotype mostly revolves around the desperate, conflicting effort to simultaneously fit in and stand out. If you want to obsess over being different that's your own thing, but there's little point in denying being a teenager; it's a literal description, not the name of the stereotypes. There's no sense to deny being, say, Asian, in order to try and escape related stereotypes.

By which you are conforming to non-conformist ideals. How about you stop worrying about being special and different, and just be yourself?

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:22 pm

I think I've been a bit awkward, in other people's eyes, pretty much all my life. It's not that I've really tried to stand out, it's just that I haven't made any conscious effort whatsoever to fit in.

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:56 pm

They weren't really that awkward. The only really awkward part was 8th grade and the beginning of 9th, when I was 13/14 years old, and puberty decided that my face looked better with acne.

On top of that I had the big glasses, bad hair, and a terrible fashion sense-- I shudder when I think about it. Luckily after that first year my acne died down (and has significantly since then), and I learned how to dress nice and such so the rest of the time was fine.

My teenage years were pretty typical. Oblivious to the advances of girls that wanted me, while constantly chasing girls that wanted nothing to do with me. Learning my limits when it comes to alcohol, by making a fool out of myself many times. Going through all the phases, like the "I don't give a [censored] about anything phase", and the "I can see the world for how crappy it is, while you all walk around like sheep'" phase (which looking back is pretty funny, seeing as everyone had that same opinion of everyone else). Having all sorts of amazing plans for after graduating, then real life kicks in and you can't folllow through with any of em.

I went through that phase too actually, but only for a short while. It's pretty funny looking back on it now. Though it's always sad to see people that have never grown out of it.
