Home message Credit “A teenager is a person who can't remember to walk the dog but never forgets a phone number, a weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast, a youngster who recieves her allowance on Mondays and spends it by Tuesday and borrow it from her best friend on Wednesday. Someone who can hear her favourite singer three blocks away, but not her mother from the next room, a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson but can't make a bed, a student who spends twelve minutes studying history and twelve hours studying for her drivers licence, an enthusiast who has the energy to bike for miles, but is usually too tired to dry the dishes, a young woman who loves the cat and tolerates her brother, a romantic who never falls in love more than once a week, a budding bueaty who won't smile until her braces come off, and an original thinker who is positive their Mother was never a teenager.""
