Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp
by C.D. Payne
Wow I thought I was a whirlpool of teenage angst and confusion. Nick has me majorly beat. Nick’s journey overflows with the joys and tragedies of teen chaos, and does so with a sense of humor. Is it worth reading? It’s good but not great. I’d save my cash and go see the movie first. If you like the movie read the book.

Mar 21, 2009 by Jade Warrior | 11 Comments~How to flunk communications in 30 minutes or less
After six months of being a good little drone and completing packet after torturous packet designed to help me decide what I want to do with my life I’d had enough. First of all, at fourteen, I have only the vaguest of ideas of what I might want to do with my life. Right now I just want to have fun and explore. Secondly, even if I did know exactly what I wanted to do it isn’t anyone’s business but mine.
I was overdosing on monotony, so I tossed out all the work I’d done preparing for my career goals paper and penned the essay below in less than thirty minutes. Although the paper meets all the requirements of the assignment, apparently my teacher wasn’t very happy with it. In fact she was so unhappy that I wasn’t allowed to present it to the class. The end result is that I received a zero for the assignment, and my freedom of expression was denied. Okay the truth is the zero didn’t bother me. I got out of giving a speech and won’t be put in honors English next year, so it was sort of a win win situation for me.
Still some of my classmates wanted to see the paper, so I decided to publish it here for the whole world to see. Laughing here, you can even give it a grade if you like! Read More...
