I was a good kid too. Good grades, never smoked (weed or cigarettes), didn't drink until I was 20, didn't do any drugs, didn't skip school, etc. I was having sex by 16, but it was with one guy and we were exclusive.
Hell, when I was 14 my parents told me I wasn't allowed to date yet, so my bf and I broke up instead of sneaking around. In hindsight, I totally should have rebelled on that one.
However... I totally was in with the bad kids. Most of my friends were guys, there was 2 girls in the group (me and my then bff). They all drank, did drugs, smoked cigarettes, stole petty stuff from the convenience store, they slept around, etc. You name it, they did it. For some reason, they didn't pressure me and actually protected me from it. Looking back, it was odd.
There was a lot that my parents would have freaked out about, none of it particularly bad or racy. They were a bit unreasonable in their standards. The one time they caught me sneaking boys in, or hanging on the slowly spinning ceiling fan like a gremlin, they freaked the fuck out like I had gotten impregnated by four whole gangs while robbing a bank.
I want to hear more about hanging from the ceiling fan, please! I didn't know those things were sturdy enough for such things
I hadn't QUITE hit puberty yet, so I didn't have the extra weight of boobs or hips. I only got caught when a friend tried it and bent the fan prong.
Hi mags! I'll sit in the horrible teenager camp with you.

I'm sorry for all the crap you went through with your family when you were a teenager.
Thank you And, honestly, I didn't start going through crap with my family until my mid-twenties, when I actually had the courage to start asserting myself and setting my boundaries. When I was a teenager, I did everything they wanted, so life was easy.
I'm the only person in my family with hair like this. I feel lucky! I'm trying to figure out how to use my laptop's web cam to take a more current picture of myself...I feel like I'm putting up a false front, and I want to be more honest.

You're not putting up a false front. We all look different now than when we were younger.
