Am I a normal teen?

Question

Basically my "childhood" (aged 0-12) was FAR from normal! But recent ermm events have made my life like a lot more normal.

Btw I'm 13 years old (14 in a few months):

*Go to Private School

*Have a boyfriend

*Gone to 2nd base (and saving the rest for later)

*Major prep

*Play field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, squash, skiing, sailing, and fencing

*Don't smoke

*I have tasted wine but I don't drink (um it's like complicated but we used to have private chefs and a wine specialist would buy all of our wines so my parents wanted my brothers and I to develop a sophisticated pallet)

*I love to tan

*I love to shop

*I have a lot of designers (most are from my mom who has no need for purses because she doesn't dress up but purses are like so expensive now)

*I do save my money and I work hard for every penny (I babysit, help fund-raising events, garden for my mom, etc..)

*I think I am fortunate but am not spoiled and I try not to act conceited (sorry if I came off that way)

Am I normal teen?

Answer 1

you are a normal teenager in a priveleged life situation, its great that you arent concieted so keep up the good work.

Answer 2

You sound normal to me.

Answer 3

your normall

Answer 4

You're obviously privileged.

Don't feel too bad about it until you start getting conceited and mean about how privileged you are.

Just stay humble, and enjoy yourself.

Answer 5

I don't think that people who have to ask themselves if they are normal are normal at all. You're a bit strange.

Answer 6

no. buts thts just me. i nvr get to go anywhere or do anything and im 15.

i wish i were u....

ur very very lucky!

do u ever wonder wut its like to be less fortunate?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Answer 9

to me u seem normal. and u shouldnt feel different in any way just cuz of what others may think of u. the way u live ur life should be just normal for u, not others.

Answer 10

you sound like a spoiled *****, so i guess thats normal.

why does it matter?

but field hockey is for dykes.

Answer 11

You're barely even a teen. Chill out.

You are trying WAY too hard to be a walking stereotype.

Answer 12

no u sound like a spoil lil rich girl

Answer 13

u sound a lot wealthier than a normal teen. i dont have chefs or a sailboat, but w.e who cares

Answer 14

Who cares if your life is normal or not? I don't see a rulebook on how to live life do you?

Answer 15

Sounds like an exciting life!

Sounds very unique.

You go GIRL!

Answer 16

personally i think that with some of the things you are acting more like a 17/18 year old. like tanning. you don't say if its sun beds or fake bake. But if its fake bake its ok and if its sun beds then you are far tooo young! Also designers. How many 13 year olds can afford that? If your from a rich family then thats ok. But if your not then its a bit much wearing designer clothes and that at 13. why not wait until your a few years old and can get a proper job?

Answer 17

You always wantto be what you are not. You were lucky to have teh oppertnity to grow in a wealthier family than the average teen. How did that happe, probably because your parents worked hard to make that money. It great that you realize that having money does require working and doing chores and when you are past college and all, you need to work hard to make your own money.

Having this great time doing all the fun stuf is norma and just enjoy when you can.

It normal not wanting to be known everywhere for a teen, because sometimes you feel like you want to be invisible. Any teen ahs that and so do you, had nothing to with riches or not.

Keep your focus as clear as you do now. You don't sound spoiled to me at all, nor conceited. You are as normal as can be.

Wealth can be a temporary thing, like you mention, you dad's business going down. People can be jealous and abuse you because you are rich. Keep believing in your dad and support him. You know aht happened and what is right as far of what they have told you.

Enjoy what you have and just be a kid.

You sound like a cool girl to me. :))

Answer 18

No, but that's ok, normal is boring.

Answer 19

yeai guess.

u sound like a cali girl.

thats normal tho

not to offend any 1 with labels

Answer 20

tanning will give you skin cancer - stop !!

Answer 21

why r u telling us?sounds like u r a rich bimbo girl.So if u got the money good for u live it for good not many teens can have what u have and if u mean by ''am i a normal teen'' not many can do what u do u r not the casual teen u r just a teen so enjoy it

Answer 22

You sound like me. I consider you a normal teen, well at least a good teen. Some teens are either drunks, pregnant, or dropped out of school by this age but don't become one of them.

Answer 23

Your average. you dont smoke which is good. most of it seems like your you. In which why would it matter if your normal or not. i just posted the same question and everyone basically flipped on me. But you are gonna be who you wanna be no matter how much someone says your normal or not.

Answer 24

> 13 years old (14 in a few months)

Normal

> Go to Private School

Your parents are wealthier than average.  Still normal.

> Gone to 2nd base

These days, that's still normal.  When I was a kid, that would have been "precocious" or even S****y.

> Major prep

What's a major prep?

> Play field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, squash, skiing, sailing, and fencing

Not normal.  That's a lot of time and energy spent on sports!

> Don't smoke

Normal.  (Smoking is abnormal).

> I have tasted wine but I don't drink

Normal

> my parents wanted my brothers and I to develop a sophisticated pallet

Your parents are dumb.  Here's a piece of advice:  "Acquired tastes are usually not worth acquiring."  Don't acquire a taste for expensive wines.

> I love to tan

Not normal.  Don't do it.  It leads to premature aging of the skin, and increased likelihood of skin cancer.

> I love to shop

Normal.

> I have a lot of designers

Not normal.  Most people can't afford designer stuff.

> I do save my money and I work hard for every penny

Normal

> I babysit, help fund-raising events, garden for my mom, etc..)

Normal

> I think I am fortunate but am not spoiled and I try not to act conceited (sorry if I came off that way)

Normal

> Like I plan to go to college, raise children, and like live a normal like middle-class life.

You're missing something there.  Before the raising of children, you should plan on getting married.  Raising children works better with the husband in the picture.

Answer 25

I am also 13 and you sound pretty normal to me. Most of my friends and myself do alot of the same things. Just focus on being yourself and not being "normal" in the publics eye.

Answer 26

Nope not normal, your 13 for cryin out loud, you shouldnt be tanning, going to second base, or tasting wine... in some ways you sound normal... but in others you dont... your deffinately not normal if your rich like you say you are, but if you work then that makes it better, I dont know i guess I did some of those things when I was your age... but I'm a mom now, so I couldn't think of my child doing those things! You sound pretty normal to me... but a little arrogant! sorry but its true! Keep up the good work
