I am eating this noise like mouthfuls of freezing, glittering fog. I am filling with it. I am using it as energy. Because what you are, as a teenager, is a small, silver, empty rocket. And you use loud music as fuel, and then the information in books as maps and coordinates, to tell you where you're going. Caitlin Moran
About This Quote

The teenage years are the hardest of all. The pressure to look good, act cool, and be popular can be unbearable. There's this pressure to fit in, keep up with friends, and be accepted by everyone. If you're not, then you're left with these feelings of inferiority that can make you feel like you can't even go out into the world without feeling like a failure.

Luckily, though, if you do feel like a failure you can still make use of many of the wonderful things your teen years have to offer. One of these is music. Music is a great way to escape from reality and make your problems seem less real.

It's also a great way to discover yourself as an individual rather than as an addition to some crowd. The more you listen to music the more you'll find that there are different kinds of music for different kinds of people. And by listening to music that makes sense for where you are in life, you might actually find that something that once made no sense suddenly does!
