I was a misfit, but i think most teenagers feel that way. i don't care if you were a popular jock or the kid who spent his lunch hours in a stairwell reading a book, we all seem to have dealt with insecurities of one kind or another throughout our high school years.

More From Charles De Lint

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old tennessee williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. what i’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. for us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

We need to claim lunch back. it is our natural right. it has been stolen from us by our rulers. the fear that keeps you chained to your desk, staring at your screen, does not serve your spirit. lunch is a time to forget about being sensible, practical, efficient. a proper lunch should be spiritually as well as physically nourishing. cosy, convivial, a treat; lunch is for loafers.

Teenagers are never joking. when seeking to prove a point, principals and teachers should remember that teenagers are never, ever sarcasic or ironic. if they say "i wish someone would drop a bomb on this school right now," that means they have arranged for a nuclear arsenal to be emptied onto the school and should be immediately suspended and ridiculed. if they say they were merely coming up with a joking excuse to postpone a bio test, reply that all jokes are funny, and that since dropping a bomb on a school is not funny, it is therefore not a joke.

The nature of the labyrinth, i scribbled into my spiral notebook, and the way out of it. this teacher rocked. i hated discussion classes. i hated talking, and i hated listening to everyone else stumble on their words and try to phrase things in the vaguest possible way so they wouldn't sound dumb, and i hated how it was all just a game of trying to figure out what the teacher wanted to hear and then saying it. i'm in class, so teach me.
