Were you an odd teenager?

Just got thinking there about things I did as a teenager that quite frankly looking back on were just plain weird:

  • When I was 13 or so I used to secretly collect tennis balls. What makes it stranger is that I had no interest in tennis and I never even played the sport. I'd keep them in shoe boxes under my bed and take them out every now and then just to look at them. Any tennis balls that came over the wall into the back garden I'd add to my collection, instead of throwing them back to the neighbours. My sister did actually play tennis, but I never let her play with my balls.

  • When I was a bit older, I got into playing Japanese RPGs on my Playstation. Normal enough so far, but if I was left alone in the house, I would on occasion dabble in cosplay. I can remember at least one time, where I put on my sister's jewellery, tank top and tennis skirt, grabbed a plastic sword from Hallowe'en and basically ran around the house imagining I was a Japanese princess casting spells on my enemies. (I'm cringing just thinking about this )
  • Not me, but my brother when he was 16 or so would constantly wear a towel around his neck like a scarf. No matter where he went, or whatever the weather, he took his towel with him. He kept this up for about a year.


So, over to you folks. Were you a bit of a weirdo as a teenager? Did you have any strange hobbies or things you would do? Any odd things you did in secret? Tell us your stories.

All teenagers are odd. If they are normal that's odd.

I used to think that if a boy I kissed didn't feel me up or down, it meant he didn't like me.

At the tender age of 13, I would cry if my iceream melted before I got it eaten. 14 - 16, I got up at 6:00am every morning to watch cartoons. 10 - 15, I be collected form school to go home and use the toilet at home, (as the ladies toilet at school was blocked) I thought Id catch a STD. 10 - 17 Id go cloths shopping with mammy, she would check that everything mached ect. Thats about it.
