1. Were you a rebellious teenager?

Oh no. I was very afraid of getting into trouble.
I tested the waters once or twice, but never went really mad.

My parents thought I was good, but I wasn't. LOL.
Everything I could possibly rebel against, I rebelled against.

The makeup tutorials. I NEEDED frosted lip gloss and crimped hair.
The Cringe pages. I was bad, but at least I wasn't THAT bad.

I didn't read them at all.

You had a few cringey moments.
There was the crispy perm, and the obsession with Boyzone... But mostly you came out of your teen years unscathed. Congrats.

You were really embarrassing.
You were an occasional door-slammer, there was most definitely a phase of some sort, and you sighed more than was appropriate. But that's OK.

You scored out of !
You were excruciatingly embarrassing.
"YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!" was your teenage catchphrase. Just admit it.
