I love teens’ blogs. It’s so entertaining to watch the writers grow up and it’s extra fun to find teen blogs that could have been written by yourself years ago.

One of my favorite teenager blogs, which I will not link for fear of embarrassing the author, is by a young woman much more hip than I ever was in high school. She listens to all the right music and has hair that she will not look back on and regret. She’s pretty much just a small adult. Well, with one exception: she loves being weird. Here’s an example: “Today in English Spencer and Julie told me that i’m strange. I told them to give me 7 reasons, and they did. So I guess I have no choice but to believe them.”

It cracks me up to read about her “What? I’m weird?” experiences, and remember my days as a teen, when I’d run around doing intentionally weird things, and then make a big defiant show over wondering why people were staring. What, is it really that weird that a friend and I go to Safeway in full costume, during an intermission of a play we were both in? We just wanted, like, ice cream. Stop staring. Is it really that weird that Susannah and Katherine and I used to steal rich kids’ big wheels to ride down big hills? (Have I really never written about that? I can’t find it anywhere if I have.) Yes, it was that weird, and I knew it. And I loved it. It’s part of the joy of being a teen: you live for negative attention, and you love to be indignant about it.

So, tell me: what are YOUR favorite teenager blogs?
