    About this ebook

    Life is a journey,

    and for a teenager it seems like an
    endless one. We may take a thousand
    steps, with no sense of where we are headed
    or what the future holds. We feel such a need to
    belong that we forget who we are along the way.
    We show people who we are on the outside and hide

    the darkness we have trapped inside – it’s like a silent call for help. We meet new people, good and bad, and we discover things about ourselves that we never thought we knew. We learn to love and to hate while on this joyride called a teenager's life. It's filled with tears and laughter, joy and pain, yet we emerge as better people.

      About the Book

      This book is a product of all my life’s work; my diary. I always wanted to write books because I always had so much to say in my school essays. It was my love of writing that got me here as well as the passion for inspiring young minds like myself. It just goes to show that you don’t have to be from a wealthy family to write a book.

      I am grateful for all the support that I received when writing this book. I am also grateful for my family, friends, church and many other people who added a thought towards this book. Teenage Moments is a life story that broaches personal and interpersonal experiences that contribute towards an individual’s habits.

      Introduction

      Most people never realise how being a teenager can be a full-time job. People simply think that being a teenager is a stroll in the park and they forget the daily obstacles that we come across every single day.

      This book commemorates the life of a teenager and its filled with personal life-changing stories that are like what most teenage girls undergo every day. The book basically talks about my life’s experiences and it was inspired by the good and bad days that I’ve been through as a teenager, but I’m still standing because I managed to get back up after being knocked down plenty of times. All the joy and pain I’ve been through shaped me into this unique individual.

      I wrote this book with the hope of reaching out to fellow teenage girls because, as teenage girls, we go through a lot, and knowing that someone has been in a similar situation gives you some sort of closure and the courage to tell yourself that if someone was able to go through such tragedies but lives to this day, I can also do it.

      01

      First Day Fiasco

      Most of you might be wondering what first day I might be talking about. It might be my first day on the job, my first day of walking on the moon or my first day of trying blue cheese. To answer your question, I’m talking about my first day of school but not just any day of school; my first day of high school. A lot of teenagers don’t like talking about their first day of high school because it’s usually
