This story does take me back to a parallel highschool memory, parallel, not the same exactly. There is a sort of desperate, exploratory sense. There is a sense of the narrators age, as a teenager. Honest.

I liked your story very much, although I did not like the ending. It was very abrupt. Besides that I thought you did a very good job, and have a great future in writing.

This story--a teenager unable to appreciate life and the people around her due to depression--reminded me of Catcher in The Rye. The narrator seems able to connect with people only on a superficial basis (he's really hot, my mom's new boyfriend is the coolest, my best friend is so lame the way she tosses her hair), and thus is overly judgemental and harshly critical, because her superficiality--possibly a depression related defense mechanism--prevents her from having the personal connections necessary to temper the imperfection prevalent in life.
I'd be interested to know what specific incident led to the narrator's depression. Maybe it was a long period of parental neglect. Either way this is not a "funny" story.

This story was such a fun read. Although I'm not sure it was meant to be fun. :-) Great story.

I can so..... ralate to you girl - fucking in my teenage time is always not what I expected - but I had to do it just for the heck of doing it, and I lied to my girlfriends like that too - not like she appreciated it at all...just wish I had read writings like this when I was a teenage - then I know I am not weird for being dissapointed by sex so often...'cause other girls does too...

This piece is pretty funny and interesting, but I can't help feeling that the author is just trying to prove that she is cool. Yeah, yeah, you're cool.
