[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved from NYC to LA (which is basically the suburbs) in high school and I was bored. Having to coordinate rides to get places was so tedious and annoying, and I had no interest in "playing" in the backyard which was beautiful. I was not involved in sports and even the stuff I was involved in required a lot of carpooling and coordinating rides. The idea that I constantly had to ask for rides and get adults involved seemed totally ridiculous to me. I felt like I spent so much time waiting around for someone to drive me somewhere.

Had I lived in like, Idaho or someplace REALLY suburban I'd probably have run away. I was the type of kid going to a museum or event every week. If all there was to do was going to various friends houses or tip cows, I'd have been totally miserable.[/quote]

See it's so interesting to me how teens are so different. When I was a young teen my friends and i were definitely still interested in playing outsode. Not baby things, but we still like riding bikes and skateboards, pickup sports and our fave in the summer was big neighborhood night games. It's so interesting to me that some kids outgrow that so young.[/quote]
