Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Forever - oopsWe had an American supply teacher at our Roman Catholic primary school who introduced us to the works of Judy Blume, who I suppose would be described as a Tween *shudder* author nowadays. I really liked her books(I was 10, I had no taste in literature) so I saved up my pocket money and bought all the books and passed them around my classmates.
Eventually I saw there was one I hadn't got called Forever so I promptly bought and read it. OMG1111!eleventy11! it was about SEX! Actual sex and there was a penis called Ralph in it. Really. So I did what any self respecting person trying to look cool and in with the incrowd and loaned it to the handsomest and most popular boy in school. Who left it under his pillow, whose mum, a Doctor found it. Whose mum rang the school. Whose mum spoke to my parents at church about my corrupting influence.
I had a rather stern talking to from the Headpenguin about there being a time and a place for these things and that was after the holy sacriment of marriage.
Embarrassing and shameful. Damn you Judy Blume. And Ralph.
