Kids and adults are nosy about each other — especially when it comes to the teenage years.

Teenagers can’t always count on the adults in their lives giving candid answers when they ask, “So, when you were my age, what was it like for you?”

Adults often get blank stares when they ask kids, point blank, “What’s up,” or disinterest when they try to serve up stories about when they were teenagers.

Here at this blog, kids can post their teenage experiences and adults can recall theirs without the pressure or awkwardness that often comes with in-person, one-on-one exchanges of this sort.

Pick one of the Map Pages from the sidebar.
Mark up the maps posted on the Blog pages.

    Teenage Crushes: Tell about crushes that ended in embarrassment, that you wish had lingered or never ended or that you never told anyone about.
    Practical Jokes: Tell about a practical joke you played on your teenage friends or on adults you were involved with as a teenager.
    The Last Place You Saw Him/Her/Them: Locate the place you last saw someone from your teenage years. What year was it? Tell about the event. Talk about what you’d do if you saw the person/people today.
    Favorite Hangouts: What’s the place; describe it. What draws you or drew you back again and again as a teenager?
