Fun reading his thread. Not all fun as a teen of course. I was convinced I was a girl in a boys body, at that age. There are so many happy memories. Walking for miles in the evenings after every one else was tucked up in bed. Diving over fences to hide as Police cars approach and past. It was a huge adventure and fun in so many ways. BUT mostly it was purgatory. My farther would come home from his club after a few drinks and well it was not all roses, he did not approve, rest his sole. The navy was the escape route from teenage life as a cd for me.
