IsSanityN, I understand! That's why I could never become a politician!
(I actually pondered becoming one years ago.) Way way way too much potential history hazards!!

Me too, Sassy. I cared way too much about how I looked in
Jr. High and H.S. I am still pretty superficial when it comes to how I look, but only if I'm going out (not to the store or to work.) Only if I'm dressing up.

Good question, should let some teens read these responses
I worried about who liked me; still do, still not worth all the fuss. As a sidenote, due to my wanting to be liked, I can never be famous because all the assholes I slept with would crawl out of the woodwork to talk to the tabloids. Sigh.

I was constantly worried about my hair
and clothes. I didn't worry about my grades because that was the easy part. Keeping up with the new styles was a harder chore. I look back, and see myself as one vain individual. Now I don't hesitate to run to the store in jogging pants. Funny how those teen years are so damn hard on a person. Image was everything.

Oh, Alfy! You were a typical teenage boy!!
(Us girls were the same way) but not to the exact "obsessive" hormonal level boys were at that age!

Spitfire...
I was painfully shy and spent most of my time worrying about girls; talking to girls, looking at girls, liking girls, them liking me? Basically overcoming my shyness for the purpose of aquiring girls was my main concern in high school. Pretty sad. Thats pretty much it except maybe what we were going to do Friday and Saturday night.

tremacc, that's a pretty bold statement! But, at least you have
the wisdom to know
why you did that.

lol
I was worried about being pregnant, and then having my daughter and how we were going to afford her heart surgery. Yeah... I just thought I'd throw that one out there for giggles. 
Funny what getting pregnant so early does to your worries! :)

I was the preacher's kid.
All through high school I always acted as if I wasn't interested, as if I didn't care about all of the stuff everyone was into, that it was beneath me. I was so worried that they would find out my little secret. That I couldn't go to the senior outings, that I couldn't join the after school events, that I couldn't listen to "devil's music", that I went to church six days a week and woke up to my stepfather playing church tunes on the organ. I was so worried about sticking out that I made an effort not to fit in.

I was worried that despite my excellent grades someone would find out
I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I just have this uncanny ability to memorize quickly. And I wrooried about my weight.
Okay--so I still worry about the same things. Sheesh.

Good for you, Jems.
But I understand. I think it was always harder on girls as far as their looks and perfection.

I always worried what people thought of me and my looks.
And hell no! It's certainly not important now! If they don't like me for who I am, they can piss off.

HA! Ha! Oh, stupid me!
I was always worried that people would think that I was showing off by getting good grades.
I gave up studying because I did not want to be a "nerd". I would even PURPOSELY get C's and D's on tests so that I would be average!
If I could just have that time back now!!
