What Are Your Childhood Memories of Adolescents?

As a kid, I felt special in some way, but that special wasn't real. It was a way to protect myself because I was awkward with kids my own age. And because I spent a lot of time with adults, I felt like I was an outsider. So those experiences are formative in how we move toward and away from other people. We're just going to do what we have experienced, especially under stress.
