A is for Angst 

A is for Angst, B is for Boobs (breasts or idiots!), C is for um  - Condiments!

The teenage alphabet according to fourteen year old Teresa Tolliver.

Growing up is complicated for a girl who can't quite decide if Barbie dolls are age appropriate, and what about those Boobs! Both the boys and her flat chest. Perhaps an air-bra would help?

And what about the school class system? Teresa does not want to be a SN (Sub-Normal)!

It's a fight all the way to stay an N, especially with a pregnant mother, a social phobic father, a jerk for a brother and a domineering older sister!

And why is Nannu (Maltese for Grandpa!) acting so strangely!

A funny and honest look at the complicated lives of today's adolescent.
