Teenage Midlife Crisis Stage, Have you gone through it? Options

[*JoanOfArc*]

Coming home an hour later than you're supposed to be, questioning your sexual orientation, letting your hormones get the best of you, wanting to get crunk and stay out late, disobeying your parents and all that jazz. Sound familiar? Just as you would see those bad rebellious chicks in the movies, there are many in real life as well. Are you one of them? When did you go through it, if you ever did?

[Kagome]

i had mine on my first year of high school.. maaannn it was my first boyfriend and he wasnt kidding when he said he wanted to be my first for everything lol but i never stayed out late to get drunk or anything.. never did actually
and i pretty much disobey my parents on a daily basis. bad child ;P

[*JoanOfArc*]

I think I'm going through it right now. I'm turning 15 soon and in freshmen year for high school.

[*stephinika*]

I think I went through something you could call a teenage midlife crisis, but not to that extent that you described...I had my stupid teen days where I was really emo and melodramatic about things in my life, but I didn't do that sort of thing really.

[*superstitious*]

I've never had such a thing

I'm approaching mid-life crisis though.

[*JoanOfArc*]

Its like the preparation for midlife crisis.

[GhettoChic]

im in it RIGHT NOW and im 15

[*karmakiller*]

I've gone through the crisis stage, but I haven't gone through the rebellous stage yet. I think some of the reason is because I was forced to grow up before I actually grew up.

[pkbabe]

I think I've been kinda going through it since I was 15 (freshman yr of high school). I'm 19 now & yet...things still don't change. Only diff is that you just add a bit sex to the mix.

No I don't do drugs or party alot. I just lie...all the time

[PINAYSTER]

i've started the second year of high school
where i started to think about my grades and knowing that colleges will be looking at them..
soooo much stress!! keeping my grades up and being well-mannered to my parents and family is just too much.. let alone be myself.

[sprezzatura]

I am pretty obedient, because my mom is gonna beat the hell out of me if I disobey.
Also, I don't think I have such crisis, at least, so far I am still very calm.

[*steve330*]

Oh man when my man boobs disappeared and I lost my voluptuous curves, I was devastated. In fact I completely ignored my parents and went and got a fast car instead of a sex change/implants.

[OhSnap]

I did go through it when I was a freshman in high school. But now, I'm usually loyal to my parents because we set up a whole trust thing after I went bad to the bone. hehe :]

[Jinny]

Now

Ditto. But hey, I'm still only fourteen..

I really try not to get on my parent's bad side, ESPECIALLY my mom. she can be so...blegh. She puts me down all the time; I can't deal with it. So, yeah.

with my dad, though..I can have a huge attitude with him..

[EmoEyelinerx]

Im going through it now. Im 14 going on 15 in December. I dont drink or do drugs or anything but I do let my hormones get the best of me, hating my life, and disobeying my parents; ALOT.


Edit:// Plus, im starting to get alot more rebelious and I get angry at over little things and I have a serious anger problems. (I broke my door off because I slammed it to hard roflmao)

[LisaM2007]

Oh so familiar...from about 14-16 until i grew up....then i went into a depression..now its all good!

[voguelove]

hmm, i never really thought of it..but now that i have..i guess id say when i was around 16 or so?

tahts when i wanted to be a rebel. haha. me. a rebel.

[cupcakex]

Hah, what a funny term. Anyways, I guess you could say mine was about 13-15. And, I'm only sixteen.

I was cutting, and attempting suicide, roflmao. Substance abuse, 'partying'. Man, it feels good to past all that. =]

[LOWinSKANK]

going through it right now. eh. i`m not terrible though. at least i don`t think so.

[technicolour]

I've gone through/going through a panic stage. Not exactly crisis.



But..it very soon could turn into one.

[pedophile]

I'm going through it right now, & I'm 15.

[XRosesXAreXBlack...]

I think I'm sort of going through it now.It's not really a crisis and it it's not quite to the extent described in the first post but, I pretty much completely ignore my mom now, I've stopped doing almost all of my school work (not that it really matters right now, considering today was the last day), and I've been out drinking with friends once or twice.Nothing serious yet, though.(I'm 15, by the way)

[*Mercy*]

Nope never went through it.
Unless you count emancipation as the largest form of parental disobediance

[*MyMichelle*]

Coming home an hour later than you're supposed to be, questioning your sexual orientation, letting your hormones get the best of you, wanting to get crunk and stay out late, disobeying your parents

K, I definitely had a "teenage midlife crisis" haha.

-Coming home way too late. Check
-Making out w/ a few different girls. Check
-Doing stuff that I wish I hadn't. Ew. Check
-Wanting to be a stripper. Check
-Running away from home. Check
-Streaking. Check


Some more that I can't remember right now

[*Mercy*]

questioning your sexual orientation

Never questioned that.
I always knew i loved women and men..

Still have yet to come out to mum yet...

[xBUTTMUNCHx]

from 6th grade too like now. LOL

[omgomgKATHY]

hah, yes. you could say i'm going through it right now >.<

[Psychotic]

I did yes, but it wasnt that bad

[dreamii]

I think I'm going through that right now, and I'm 16, turning 17 really soon. However it's not to that extent as mentioned in the first post. But I do feel like a rebel at times when I just don't want to care about anything, and also wanting to party and get drunk and all that good stuff... Gone "emo" many times this year because of schooo/stress, too.

[lkajsfklajskds]

still foing through it. i would have to say it started when i was about 9, i was very rebellious. when i was younger than a teen i kept everything to myslef. when i got older, i spoke up. i got angry very easily (and still do). but then again that could just be pms =]. anywho, people were so shocked by my sudden change. and i kept saying i was always like that. they thing i've "changed" when i have not changed what so ever. but that could just be the adolescence in my head talking.

[Lolitakitty]

Right now.

[sweetescape]

im almost 18 and I think im starting to go throw it now lol. Im getting all rebellious haha xD then I feak out about it.

[lovescream]

sadly no =( but i bet 80% of my school [jr high] has. i'm only entering high school though. so i still have my chances. i probably will this year [freshman year] or next year because i'm getting extremely curious -.- plus. I'm starting to think about sneaking out & stuff.. so yeah. ;x its just that i don't do it cuz im afraid my mom will beat the f**k out of me. but next year i dont think i'll be as scared because of friends? lol. idk its just some feeling.. that i wanna do. and usually when i wanna do something, i get through to it eventually

[transcendentalis...]

seems that i've had it mildly in 6th grade and it's only gotten progressively worse. :)

andd i'm a junior now. lawlz

[Jeng]

Naw, never been in those situations.[yet]

[AngelinaTaylor]

Ahaha had it from 12 to 17 pretty much. I was a horrible kid.

[idalisa]

13 - 15 i think haha

[xtwitchyx]

Hmm... I don't think I ever went through that. My parents weren't really that strict. I mean, they didn't care if I drank as long as I was at home. When I turned 18 my dad handed me a beer and said that 18 should be the legal drinking age again. That was the legal age back in his day. As for the few times I did drink without my parents knowing, it wasn't to really disobey them. I sure as hell never wanted to get caught and luckily I never did. I was just a bored girl living in a small town where nothing went on and I just happened to have a friend who was able to sneak vodka with her.

I come from a family of rock and roll fans. So rebeling would actually be pretty stupid and pointless. Plus I did most of my schooling at home, so I wasn't really around other teenagers to help pressure me into things. Which I'm quite glad I never had that experience. I don't think I would be the colorful person I am now if I would of had that experience.

Wow, that was a lot of babble coming from me. Humm...

[Marlons]

im in it RIGHT NOW and im 15

Yep me too, lots of brawls going down around the house.mostly because my mother is a hardcore christina all of a sudden and I listen to alot of Metal.and how I can stump her using the bible also pisses her off.

I don't think this is anything like a midlife crisis... This is the fun of being a youth. Having no worries and partying with your friends. I am 18 and I still let my hormones take control and I still party. It's just living life. It's fun, and I want to have loads of fun since you only live once.

[MissHygienic]

Off-topic, but not really: Why is the question, "Did you go through a teenage midlife crisis stage?" with a poll when 1.) Midlife is in your 40s, so "teenage midlife crisis" doesn't even make sense, 2.) Before you were a teenager means that you weren't a teenager; therefore, it's not a teenage or a midlife crisis. Therefore, only two poll selections relate to the subject. And moreover, why is there even a poll when the question begs the poll answers, anyway?

[superficial]

When I was about 13-15. I had way too much worries than a normal teenager would have.

[RealTalk]

I haven't had mine yet and I don't think I will for some reason.

[tokyo-rose]

Definitely around the time that I was 13-15. I'm pretty much over it now.

[Insurmountable]

midlife crisis? Odd way of putting it, the examples in the first post..of course everyone goes through most of those stages.

I can't think of specifics.. I ran away from home once. Or well I got to the road and the drunks were outside next door so I sat on the porch for a few hours.

I would say 13-15

[ksoyeah]

Haha. Yeah, I have. At the age of 12-13, actually.
This guy I liked, he liked me back, didn't want to date me because he wasn't ready. I was "depressed" for MONTHS!

As for staying out late, I did recently. I went to go work with my close friends at school for a lighting job for a Folklorico Concert, and I was supposed to be home at 10, but I got home at 11. My mom didn't really like it because I was with two guys in a light booth at night. xP

[S-Majere]

I'm 20 this year and still yet to have this. *shrugs* My lifestyle, family, friends and boyfriend have all given me the stability I needed through my teenage years.

[Gryffindor-Girl]

Well I think that I did when I was 12 I just didn't want to go to school I got my Mom to let me stay home for a week when I was in Middle School. All though I was never truly rebellious and I am not rebellious now. So in the end I am not sure if a had a or am having a Teenage Midlife Crisis. you should have not sure as a choice in the poll.

[deplorable]

yea and no.
i dont know. i was a stupid kid.

[transcendentalis...]

all i really ever do is let my hormones get the best of me.. i do kind of argue with my parents, but it's only when i think things are just unfair.

for example, letting my older brother back from college drive my car around everywhere (i filled up the tank yesterday, then he took the car when i got home... this morning when i left for my cello lesson, it was half full. WTF) when he doesn't have to pay for gas or insurance or anything at all, while restricting me from going to the library to study and then go to work.

i argue about things like that. otherwise, i'm pretty cool with them nowadays.. mostly because they don't know what i'm doing, but it's really nothing too horrible. it's just like going to go grab food with coworkers after we're done, and that takes maybe half an hour.

what am i talking about again?

[Joss-eh-lime]

^haha im sure you had a point somewhere


i never full that full fledged teenage rebellion thing, but my parents began to upset me more and more from 13 and on.

my younger sister though is only 12 and it hit HARD. All of my family has to suffer the consequences.
She leaves the house to meet boys without asking, and puts of a buttload of makeup when she gets to school.

[audory]

junior year (16). shit, i had it badd.
a year later, it's calmed down a lot. although i still have those urges to get crunkkk & party the night away. but that's pretty normal. :)

[twotootz02]

now, n the last past months. =/

[Smarmosaur]

I've gone through the crisis stage, but I haven't gone through the rebellous stage yet. I think some of the reason is because I was forced to grow up before I actually grew up.

ditto.

[endlesslyshesaid]

Oh yeah. I was only 14, and sure, I suppose there could be a worse year coming, but I sure as hell hope not. Coming out isn't fun, but it doesn't help when you were stuck in the situation I was. At least my parents actually believe me now, Christ. Not to mention I had this crush on this girl who is a total commitaphobe. (And doesn't like me anyway, xD) So I decided to become the poster child for emo-ness. So not a good idea, but I certainly got the attention I was looking for.

I think teenagers really have it rough sometimes. Not me in particular, but honestly, who really wants to be at this age? That's why the God I don't technically believe in gave us music. To get by when our hormones decide to conduct a mutiny against our common sense.

[endlesslyshesaid]

I don't think this is anything like a midlife crisis... This is the fun of being a youth. Having no worries and partying with your friends. I am 18 and I still let my hormones take control and I still party. It's just living life. It's fun, and I want to have loads of fun since you only live once.

Yeah, but being a teen isn't all fun and parting. Some teens have an easier adolescence... Some get their heart broken, have come out to their stupid parents, failed all of their classes, have a close friend turn on them, get an STD, hate their body image... the list is sort of endless. Yeah, you only live once, but sometimes the hard stuff is inevitable.

[SJalways]

My "rebellion" is pretty pathetic. I'm a good student/the good child because my parents were the stoners who didn't go to college and cut class...

Though I do lie. And I'll cheat if I think I can get away with it. Oh, and I break things, frequently. I download way too much music, but my parental units know all about that.

I still sometimes get the urge to do something really stupid/"teenage rebellion"-y. Someday I might get around to it, maybe.

[absinthe]

You mean the "Who am I? What am I doing? *sobs while looking at a mirror* Let's fight with everyone endlessly!" shit?

Nahhh.

I was always completely aware of who I was, and where I was headed.

[DoubleJ]

I have always had a good head on my shoulders, because I knew from the outset, what I wanted to accomplish in life. Besides that, my mom, was hell bent on making sure that I tapped into my potential fully. Although I do question some decisions that I make, and even myself, I know that it all happens for a reason.

[Cwhaticando]

yessss, i most deifinitely went through a teenage mid-life crisis. i never did homework, was over dramatic and completely depressed about stupid things, behaving in an absolutely ridiculous fashion around boys, never thought things through, coming home at three a.m. instead twelve... :).
it was all one big learning experience.

[DoubleJ]

I am sorry. but what is wrong with coming home at 3 a.m.?

[PinkDinosaur]

[color="#FF0000"]went though my crisis it was realy bad... got my fist boyfriend n stuff but my dads gfs sons kept trying it on with me when i was drunk and vulnrable . worse yet they are 8 years older than me . n then one did take advantage . . . my mates all turned agenst me n called me a slut :( but i didnt want to do it so am i rly a slut? i thought. then i attempted suiside by popping over 50 asperins n ended up in hospital :( now im scared to be around any boy ... even my family ...

has anyone else had some family try take advantage of u?[/color]

[Kay-]

I did basically all that stuff in the summer of grade 7 =/ yes i know, kinda young but it happened.

[datass]

yeah
and i thought my life was over.
what a dope.

[Glamourouz]

I guess you can say I did; I was 16 entering college so I was the baby but I got along with older people so of course I was always around where ever they went & did whatever...I was a rebel...sex, drugs, rock & roll is what we always said...but yea all I could think of was fun; I never questioned my sexual orientation...I loved guys...esp. the sr. frat guy that got a hold of me when I was 17 until recently...I hated my dad & still do; I would fight him, cuss, everything...it didnt matter, u couldn't tell me nothin...the only person i listen to is my mom & grandmom...I tried a lot of things...but it's all good now...I'm a mature young adult who expereienced what I wanted & figured the fast life is not what I want to live...I like having a boyfriend that cares about me, being drug & alcohol free, etc. I can't allow myself to become intoxicated; then I'd be ugly; can't have that, plus I have too much going for myself to allow craziness to screw it up...I'll be darned...

[Eww]

Probably right now.

I'm 13.

[Shellie]

yes i have. i'm 15 now and it has died down. but when i was 13-14 i was pretty umm emotional and stuff and was really depressed because of some things. i'm still trying to get over it but i'm pretty satisfied now

[freeridefight]

Im just now kinda coming outta that stage. Just turned 17 a couple months ago. Feels great =]

[Sandraaa]

I'm actually DEEP in it right now. Actually, no. My mom is just being a bitch about everything. It's almost menopause, ya knoe. But anyway, when I was 13 - 18. >< Horrible! :(

i havent gone through it yet, and quite frankly i hope i dont.

[ashleyharris]

12-15.

[IzzyGrace]

Eeesh, I've had my own PREteenage crisis.

But nothing like you describe it.

I call it my emo-im-getting-rebellious-and-hate-my-parents-and-think-my-friends-are-dumb-and-i-wanna-die phase. It was when I was twelve and they forced me to go to a Christian school when I thought I was an atheist.
