The Split Identity of a Teenager

I was a very athletic kid at that age. I probably found a lot of release and any joy through sports, through climbing trees, through riding my bike and riding skateboards. That was probably where I could find a sense of belonging or connection. But in terms of school and relationships, I was a tomboy. So I didn't fit in with my girly girlfriends. It's so interesting that your world was so focused on this kind of split identity as you were growing up.
