Did you keep a diary during your teen years? Do you have a box of never-sent notes to your crush? Or some overwrought poetry about your bleak existence? An unfinished rock opera? Well, you're not alone, and here, you'll find a reason to unearth your adolescent angst and have a good laugh--at yourself. This compilation of real teenage diary and journal entries, letters, songs, stories, and lists--along with biting commentary, background, and self-examination from the now so-called grown-ups who wrote them--offers a voyeuristic glimpse at the roller coaster of youth in all of its navel-gazing, soul-searching, social-skewering glory.--From publisher description.
