Teenagers. What is really going on in their heads?

I know the title is controversial since I am a teenager myself. But I often wonder whether what is going on in my head, is the same as in other teens heads. Though I am the youngest in my year, I am the tallest and I often get mistaken for 17 or even once 24!

I have met many people who are stereotypical of teenage girls, presuming that in every one of our heads there is nothing going on or that all we only think about boys, makeup and straighteners. When I 'calmly' inform them I love Top Gear and prefer to write comical articles than go to discos with boys there, they say “Oh” and look confused.

If you believe any of the above about teenage girls, I am laughing as I picture your reaction as you find out I am only 14 and therefore a teenage girl.

Boys. Oh dear where do I start?! I have friends who are boys and sometimes I wonder what they are thinking when they wear they trousers around their knees, as my wise friends would say - "excuse me mr. ganster sir, you're trousers appear to be descending" - while waddling down the street due to decreased ease of walking. I tell them they look ridiculous but do they listen? Of course not! 


Then again I cannot talk when I see what some girls wear. I hope I don't end up looking like a beaten up, black eyed, clay pot when I am their age. Constantly tripping over ridiculously high heels and wearing mega short skirts. My dad used to say to girls who were wearing short skirts, “If you drop anything. Kick it home”. Wise words, wise words.


In conclusion I still have no clue that what I think about is the same as other teenagers. I am not a trend follower, a makeup mad, boy mad, average teenage girl. I am me.
