In reply to when do you stop feeling like a gawky teenager?, posted by octopusprime on April 9, 2004, at 17:59:26
Oh, hon, I feel your pain. Dee is right that certain aspects of it don't go away entirely - or at least they didn't for me. I think that's because they aren't about being a teenager. I've never properly grown into my body, for example. Oh, I've *grown*, but still don't have the kind of physical comfort I see in some other people. But, the good news is that I'm getting a lot closer to being ok with feeling awkward. Does that make sense?
And then, certain aspects you don't want to have go away. I mean, the spring fever thing is not all bad, right? It feels kind of up, I think. If you couldn't get that giggly feeling, you'd miss it, wouldn't you? Ok, yeah, at times it's inconvenient, but then so are a lot of good things.
Now, acne, I don't know about. I hope it'll go away on it's own for you. For me, the decline was pretty gradual, and I still get zits, but not frequently. Of course, I never had it really bad, like some folks do, but there has been a trend toward less acne with age. I hope the same for you!
