Teenagehood is defined by Wiktionary as a 'crippling disease' and I don't think that's far off from the truth. Yes @howto_ is making a 'how to' book again after not making a 'how to' book in what feels like months yet this isn't really a 'how to' book more like one where you can just laugh at my pathetic attempt at humour. Now that is a tongue twister and a half (suck on that woodchucks).

Being a teenager is hard. I mean not as hard as the lives of some- let's keep everything relative here- but it is hard. Hormones cause havoc on your life, everyone is annoying and smelly, and things just never go your way. Which is why you need my survival guide to surviving this difficult period of your life.

Fun fact: I'm awkward. So I've learnt the hard way how to survive this difficult phase of my life. I do stupid things. Often. Yes anecdotes will be included. Yes you can laugh at them.

Unlike some of my other guides, this one won't be so formal. I don't think I could speak to you seriously about living as a teenager without throwing in a joke or two. So laugh if you want to, my humour can be particular sometimes.
