as a kid i believed that as soon as you became a teenager you had to break into houses and steal stuff, and spend the rest of your time hanging out in front of the local 'milk bar'. This was mostly thanks to my mum blaming all bad things on teenagers and the fact that we lived in a pretty rough area full of bored teens. I soooo did not want to be a teenager!
