QotD: Rebel Without A Cause
What was your version of teenage rebellion?
Brought to you by the movie Georgia Rule.
My parents got off lucky. I rebelled by reading, learning, and hiding from people my own age as much as I could. I really didn't fit in at school so I sequestered myself and had contests to see how many pages I could read during a week. The following week I would try to break it. So this resulted in me staying up late reading by flashlight.
Although, my senior year I was bored to tears in some of my classes so I would skip them and hang out and watch daytime television at a friend's house. She didn't have cable and we really weren't friends since she wanted to get stoned and I didn't. So it worked for her cause I was sober I could hear if her mom was coming and she didn't require much interaction from me so I was able to channel surf and read and chill out and drink Fanta soda instead of sitting in my remedial level classes that I was way too smart for and therefore bored. Luckily for me, there was a freshman boy who had a crush on me and he would delete my name from the absentee list every day. That was awesome, but I never really appreciated him or thanked him cause I thought it was kinda weird that he, the cute skateboarder, would have a crush on me.
