Hello Everybody! Firstly I want to say
00:00
how very sorry I am that I have not uploaded
00:03
in two weeks.
00:05
I think that's the longest I've gone on this channel
00:06
for a really long time
00:09
without uploading.
00:11
I do have a good reason for it..
00:12
I have been so busy.
00:15
The reason I'm out of breath is I've just run to the top of the stairs..
00:19
ow, I've got a blister..
00:22
Always wear socks with trainers!
00:25
And the reason I'm out of breath is because I've run up all the stairs
00:27
and this room is like a sauna!
00:29
So I'm a sweaty mess.
00:32
I'm just gunna be a bit of a mess in this video I think.
00:34
I've had the same make-up on all day..
00:37
I'm just not really sure what this looks like.
00:40
But we're here! We're making a video!
00:43
And yeah, as I said, really sorry I have been so busy
00:45
it's actually unreal, and I didn't feel very well last week
00:49
so, here I am! Up in my attic!
00:53
Uh! Listen to the seagulls!
00:58
Aww it's like being back in my old flat on the sea front,
01:00
who remembers that?
01:03
I've got my legs open, this is not a good look, it's a good job you can't see!
01:06
I know you guys really like my more kinda chilled,
01:09
chatty videos or Q&As,
01:12
whether that's just me or with a friend.. umh..
01:15
and so I thought I would do one today! Do another little
01:18
chatty Q&A. Have I got lipstick on my teeth?
01:21
Nah. So the biggest portion of my viewership or
01:24
audience on YouTube are people over the age of
01:28
eighteen, but
01:31
there are still a huge, huge amount of you
01:32
who are under eighteen, and I always
01:35
notice a lot of you have a lot of questions about
01:38
what it was like for me being a teenager and how I
01:41
dealt with certain situations growing up
01:44
and I don't feel like I've ever done a video like this..
01:47
umh.. so, I asked you
01:50
all on Twitter if you had any.. oh and on Instagram actually!
01:53
I said on Instagram story, if you've got any questions
01:56
then, come Tweet me. I feel like the first thing
01:59
I should point out though is how different
02:01
it must be, being a teenager
02:04
to when I was a teenager, because funnily enough,
02:07
as much as I hate to admit it, that was actually quite a long
02:10
time ago for me, so I was
02:13
seventeen, ten years ago, so my early teens
02:15
was a wee while, I'll let you do the maths
02:18
and I get asked the same question quite a lot
02:21
which is, if you were a teenager now
02:24
how would you find it, and honestly
02:27
I don't know, I think you all deserve a medal
02:30
because things like social media
02:33
and Instagram, and likes and like this whole kind of
02:36
popularity thing
02:39
wasn't around when I was in school, we had MSN
02:42
messenger
02:45
and there was like AOL chat-rooms, and we
02:46
could text if we had credit, and
02:49
there is a huge part of me that is so thankful
02:52
that
02:55
things like MySpace,
02:56
Beebo, and Facebook, only really
02:59
happened, towards
03:03
the end of my teens. Which was the first one we had?
03:05
We had.. I feel like I had MySpace first, and then
03:08
Beebo, and I must have been fifteen, sixteen
03:11
And I feel like, no one really knew how to use
03:14
it, and it was all very new,
03:17
and it wasn't the same. Although I would say for any of
03:19
you nineties kids out there
03:22
who may have also use Beebo and MySpace, the only thing we
03:25
ever really had arguments about, was
03:28
in what order your friends were
03:31
In your top 8 friends. *laughs*
03:33
I used to hate doing that!
03:35
I think I used to shuffle mine, or put them on random, because it was like
03:36
That was, the only thing that caused rows in our friendship group
03:39
Or did it? I don't know; maybe I just secretly got really sad if i wasn't like at least someones top 5 *laughs*
03:42
The most interactions I ever had with people would be on MSN messenger
03:48
and in those days, you only had your friends - that was it.
03:54
and the only thing you really had to think about was which song lyrics you were gonna put in your MSM messenger like tagline
03:57
what was it called? bio? tagline? I can't remember
04:03
but hey! if we didnt have twitter you wouldnt have been able to ask me these questions
04:06
so...
04:10
theres that i guess!
04:11
Julia did actually ask "How do you think
04:13
being a teenager in present day differs from when you were a teen?
04:15
and I guess I sort of answered that. There's
04:18
more pressure now outside of your friendship group, which
04:20
I didn't have back then. The only
04:24
interaction with people who we were really friends with was
04:26
actual face to face conversation,
04:28
and then by the time we were sort of friends, that's when you'd get
04:31
their MSN and that's when you'd get their number, but
04:34
there wasn't that same
04:37
kinda of image to portrait on social media
04:40
I guess. I don't know, I would love to chat to
04:43
like a room of teenagers to find out how they really feel about it.
04:46
That would just be so great. Please let me know in the comments!
04:49
Let's have like a discussion about this. How do you feel
04:52
being a teen with things like Twitter,
04:55
Facebook.. things like Ask.fm. Honestly.. just sounds like a nightmare to me!
04:58
When I was at school someone created the like "Rate my teacher"
05:04
or something and that was about as like savage as it got.
05:07
"How do you control your hormones as a teenager?" and that is
05:11
by Shannon.
05:14
You can't!
05:16
Is the answer to that. You can't, really.
05:18
And actually when I think back to when
05:21
I was a teenager. Tean-ager? Teen-ager...
05:23
my hormones were quite
05:27
extreme, but it's only as I look
05:30
back at some of my behaviour..
05:33
I wasn't terrible, don't get me wrong, but my mood swings
05:35
and I remember I used to have arguments
05:39
with my mum and dad and I
05:41
definitely
05:44
struggled
05:45
with the hormones.
05:47
I wouldn't have ever admitted it at the time, but looking back I can
05:50
see that I did. Being a teenager is such a..
05:53
weird time, because
05:56
you've gone up to secondary school, you're
05:58
sort of trying to figure out who you are,
06:01
who your friends are, you're getting put with people
06:04
who
06:07
you might not necessarily have a lot in common with
06:08
but feel you need to be friends with and
06:11
you see these people every day
06:14
five days a week.. like for
06:17
a massive portion of your life.
06:20
No wonder you're gonna struggle with it
06:23
sometimes. So it's only natural again
06:26
when hormones are included within
06:29
that
06:32
that you are gonna struggle sometimes and also
06:33
you start to feel all the feels. You start to feel
06:36
sad, you start to feel jealous, you start to feel bitter,
06:39
you start to feel angry, you start to feel over
06:42
emotional, you start to feel overly
06:44
excited, overly happy. It's like all the
06:47
feels, all the emotions and all the feels
06:50
and I definitely had that.
06:53
Emh.. but
06:57
it made some of the best moments
06:58
and the best memories and some that I'd look
07:01
back on and be like, "wow, I was a beatch!"
07:04
to my parents and my brother probably. You need to remember
07:08
everyone else around you is also experiencing
07:10
that and it kinda varies
07:13
person by person and you know..
07:16
hormones affects people so differently,
07:19
but essentially you're all on the same boat and it's happening to everyone,
07:24
so don't feel weird or feel like
07:27
you have to control them in any way. I think hormones are something that's
07:30
very difficult to control but I do think
07:33
trying to find a bit of kinda you-time
07:36
and chill and have like a space that you like
07:38
to be in and to be able to go
07:41
and have a moment.. I think it's really important, so obviously
07:44
like.. your bedroom, like maybe ligh a candle, put some fairylights
07:47
on.. like it's about making yourself feel
07:50
at ease if everything is getting a little too much.
07:53
I feel like this video is gonna be really long cause I'm such a rambler.
07:57
Faith Dorsen said "Pressured to smoke/vape?"
07:59
I did not have a group of friends that ever
08:03
pressured me into anything, actually.
08:05
Umh.. but I have seen
08:08
where other people have felt pressured to do it.
08:11
And I guess I.. when I was a teen I did think..
08:14
See the thing is I never felt pressured by anyone else
08:18
and my parents weren't very like.. strict in that sense,
08:21
like they would never lecture me about don't drink,
08:24
don't smoke and..
08:27
They sorta left me and my brother to make decisions
08:28
ourselves, which I think was kind of clever,
08:31
because neither of us are very wild.
08:34
Uhm..
08:38
And.. I think the only pressure
08:39
I ever had was myself. Like I had friends
08:42
who smoked, who drank, I had..
08:45
I hung out with groups of people who were much, much
08:47
older than me doing worst things at house parties.
08:50
Some of those memories still haunt me to this day.
08:54
Some of the things I saw in house parties just..
08:57
I don't think you should see it as like a fifteen or sixteen years old to be quite honest, but
08:59
I never felt like I needed to do that.
09:03
I didn't feel like I needed to..
09:07
smoke or drink or do drugs.
09:09
I just.. I kind of..
09:12
watched everyone else do it and I was like, "that doesn't really look fun,
09:15
I think he just looks stupid"! Like I just used to look
09:18
at people and just be like, "you just look stupid"! I don't know,
09:21
like.. it..
09:24
for me it was like.. it was actually quite like a.. turn off?
09:26
I was just a bit like.. "ugh, no.. that's not for me!"
09:30
Umh.. and the only sort of like pressure I had really
09:33
was me at the back of my head thinking
09:36
"but I am a teen, like.. should I be trying these things? Like..
09:39
shoud I be.." It was almost like it was me
09:42
pressurizing myself? It was weird! It was like.. well I guess
09:44
everyone should try something once in their life!
09:48
Turns out.. you don't really have to because
09:51
I can see what everyone else is doing and I really don't feel like I was
09:54
missing out and luckly I wasn't
09:57
within a group of friends where I felt pressured.
10:00
Umh.. but
10:03
I know I would've stood
10:04
my ground and just said "no, I'm okay, thanks" and I do think
10:07
if you ever feel that pressured within a group of friends
10:10
you have to put your foot down because you'll never look
10:13
back on that memory of trying something for the first time
10:16
and feel confortable about it because
10:19
you'll never be too sure if you really wanted to or not
10:22
and I'm just not sure that that's a nice
10:25
way to ever do anything. I think everything
10:29
you do and everything you experience should ultimately be down
10:31
to you because it's your life. If anyone
10:34
is making you feel pressured to have sex, to smoke,
10:37
to drink, to do anything you are not hundred percent
10:40
confortable with
10:43
say no
10:45
and if they are your friends they will understand that
10:46
and if they don't understand that they are not your friends. "Did
10:49
you ever question your body or feel insicure about your figure?
10:52
How did you overcome it?"
10:55
Yes! I feel like I've touched on this a little bit
10:57
in my Question I've Never Answered.
11:00
I went through a stage where
11:01
I had grown in height and
11:04
I was super skinny
11:07
and all my friends were getting like hips and boobs
11:10
and a bum and I was still a bit like.. ugh,
11:13
when's mine coming?
11:16
And then
11:18
they happened and they happened very quickly
11:20
so my boob.. it's like I almost woke up one day and my boobs were there and my bum was there.
11:23
So now I've got like stretchmarks , umh..
11:26
and
11:29
for a while I didn't like it
11:31
because it almost made me look skinnier?
11:34
Because it was like.. ugh, these boobs don't like..
11:36
go with my body and like.. I don't look
11:39
like my friends. Why can't I put weight
11:42
on and I struggled with the fact that I just
11:45
felt like I looked so skinny, umh..
11:48
and I was quite self conscious at like PE and I hated
11:51
putting shorts on but what's so interesting is
11:54
people assume you
11:57
can't feel insicure about your body when you're skinnier.
12:00
Like I would put shorts on and people were just kinda of assumed
12:03
that I'm confident because I've got my shorts on
12:07
and I've got my legs out and
12:10
I'm sure there were people around me who would
12:12
have wanted to have had my legs, yet
12:15
in my head I was like "I hate my legs!"
12:18
Hated swimming.. oh my God, that for me
12:20
was the worst! That's like.. you know when you remember swimming and you get
12:23
like
12:26
a wave of like *mumbles*. I hated swimming
12:27
and I honestly belive ninety eight
12:31
percent of the girls in my swimming group hated
12:33
swimming for this very reason. If
12:36
you're gonna put like twenty girls who were
12:38
all like
12:42
growing and changing at very different rates
12:44
and getting used to their bodies and trying to learn
12:47
why things are, how they are or why you're
12:50
not like Sally next to you or why
12:53
you've got one boob that seems to be growing faster than
12:56
another boob or why you've got like a wobbly bit
12:58
or why you feel so skinny.. you're never gonna
13:01
have a great lesson!
13:04
Like it's never gonna be a great lisson.. lesson. We.. we
13:06
all
13:09
hated swimming so much. Like
13:11
no one enjoy.. who enjoyed swimming apart from that one
13:14
girl that was there in her like blister sock and swim hat
13:16
and goggles and nose clip? Like she's the one that loves swimming, but
13:20
everyone else
13:23
did not love swimming. And.. I just felt like
13:24
everyone stared at me in a swimming costume because I was
13:27
so skinny and I hated it
13:30
so much. I still did it,
13:32
I still put the swimming costume on, I still.. and I
13:35
hated swimming anyway. Like.. I.. I'm just.. I
13:38
hate swimming.
13:41
Umh..
13:42
But.. I don't know. It was kinda like
13:44
a phase that came and went. I remember feeling quite
13:46
insicure between the ages of about twelve and fourteen
13:49
and then past that I think I stopped caring because
13:52
I sort of settled with the fact that
13:56
everyone's bodies were growing and changing at different rates
13:59
and everyone had something about them that they weren't happy with
14:02
or something that they felt they wanted to change
14:05
and that was very reassuring to me because
14:08
I felt like I was the only one who
14:11
was the odd one out, but actually everyone feels like
14:14
they're the odd one out at some point, which I'm very
14:17
lucky for, because there's a lot of people who can't do that,
14:20
which I feel really sad about. Eve said, "How to
14:23
tell friends you can't or don't want to go to parties because they don't
14:25
understand? I love you!" I love you too!
14:28
That's hard because there were a lot of things I
14:31
never wanted to go to because of my anxiety.
14:34
Umh.. but I feel like I just said, "I don't wanna go!" *laughs"
14:36
The worst part of it for me
14:40
was
14:43
that I couldn't go, not that I didn't want to
14:44
go.. if that makes sense. Is that I felt like I couldn't,
14:47
not that I didn't want to. So
14:51
I would be at home knowing they were
14:53
all on a night out and they were all like having a fab time
14:56
and I wished more than anything I could be
15:00
there but I knew I couldn't
15:03
be and it was.. that was quite
15:06
a hard time for me actually. That was probably in my later teens.
15:09
That's something I knew I had to deal with.. like that's not
15:12
something my friends have to deal with. That's
15:16
me and what I should've done
15:19
was spoken to someone earlier,
15:22
got help earlier and kind of
15:24
then lived my kind of late teens,
15:27
early twenties anxiety free rather than trying to sort that
15:30
out a little bit further down the line, but
15:33
umh.. yeah, I feel like
15:36
you just tell them and again, if they're your friends
15:40
they'll understand and if they don't
15:43
understand that's
15:46
okay, because it means that
15:47
it's not something they experience
15:49
but at the end of the day if you don't wanna go out
15:52
or you feel like you can't
15:55
then
15:57
don't.
15:59
And you might get FOMO but
16:00
that's a choice you've made and if they love you
16:03
then they'll still say they miss ya. Abby said,
16:06
"What were your favourite things to do with friends etc. during
16:09
highschool?" Oh my God, okay. So this probably
16:12
was my favourite thing. We would like go to each other's
16:15
houses and we would make..
16:18
uhm.. with photographs
16:21
and Window's Movie Maker.. we would make umh..
16:23
little films and I still have them, that's what's..
16:26
and
16:29
now.. nowdays I would be uploading them to YouTube
16:30
and back then YouTube didn't exsist, so I was just like making them
16:33
and like saving them and we would like reenact
16:36
things so we.. we did Mean Girls, we
16:38
did.. oh my God.. we did like
16:41
weird.. me and my friends did The Ring..
16:44
like.. we would reenact a whole
16:47
film in photos with slides
16:50
and like texts
16:53
and music and it was
16:55
great fun. So that's what we did. As I got a
16:58
bit older it was like house parties,
17:01
umh.. umh, we used to.. there was a park
17:04
next to our school so we used to hang out in the park quite a lot.
17:07
Yeah.. there was a lot of great times, actually.
17:10
A lot of great friend times. We used to go shopping
17:13
on the weekends, we would all get the bus in
17:16
and we would get disposable cameras and like take pictures
17:19
and lots of sleepovers. We would always trying to do all ,
17:22
nighters
17:25
and.. funnily enough you'd all think I would
17:26
suck at that but I was actually not that bad.
17:29
"What to do when you're in a friendship group that fall out because
17:32
of nothing? How do you deal with it?"
17:35
Oh.. we had a fair amount of these, we really did.
17:37
Umh..
17:40
as I said at the beginning of this, when you're
17:42
put into a..
17:44
situation for the majority
17:46
of your life for five years with the same people
17:49
you're.. you're never gonna always get on.
17:52
Like you're just not. There's gonna be something
17:55
that brushes one person up the wrong way
17:58
and there's tension and then it's awkward
18:01
and then the group divides and then some people are on that side,
18:03
some people on that side, then there's a whole division
18:06
and they don't speak to these people and it.. and it'll
18:08
be over something that you don't even remember what it's over.
18:11
And I think what's different today
18:15
that is so different from back then is when that used to
18:19
happen with our friends a lot of them making up
18:22
and the sorting out had to happen face to face
18:25
which I feel like probably wouldn't happen as much now
18:28
because there's things like Facebook
18:31
and like Messangers and Twitter and..
18:34
there's loads of different places that you can see like..
18:36
snidey indirects and things like that, but
18:39
in the olden days..
18:44
in the olden days.. that makes me sound so ancient, but
18:46
back when I was a teenager it would've been something like
18:49
it would've.. there would've been something
18:53
said at school and someone would've taken it the wrong way, or someone would've been having a
18:54
bad day and someone else would've cared as much as they should
18:57
have.. umh..
19:00
and then there would be like little tiffs..
19:03
I wouldn't say we have all like fell out big time,
19:05
but there were certainly like..
19:08
little arguments here and there.
19:11
Hello!
19:13
Hello Buzzy!
19:15
We've got Buzzy at the moment.
19:16
Wanna jump on that?
19:18
Are you gonna sit down or are you just gonna breathe heavily behind me?
19:21
Hello!
19:24
Uh! You're in.. you're all in my hair! You're all..
19:27
Buzz!
19:29
Oh!
19:31
Alright, you're like a parrot!
19:32
Buzz!
19:34
Right, sit!
19:35
Good boy. Good boy. I feel
19:38
like at the time arguments feel so
19:41
huge and so
19:44
like.. like it's the end of the world and that you'll
19:47
never be friends again and that is gonna be so awkward
19:50
but
19:54
eventually you make up because what's
19:55
the alternative? Like you see eachother everyday.
19:57
When you're so close to someone, like a sibiling
20:00
or like a relative
20:03
and you're spending so much time with them you do
20:06
just rub each other up the wrong way, and sometimes you are gonna have
20:08
an argument, but then you make up and then you are stronger than you were before
20:11
because you've had to like talk through your diffrences and you're kind of..
20:14
growing up together and actually
20:17
I think it would be weirder if
20:20
growing up you never had arguments with your friends because..
20:23
because there's so much going on and
20:26
so much is changing and it's a
20:30
crazy time, so of course you're gonna argue,
20:33
but you just have to know that those
20:36
arguments don't have to be the
20:39
be-all and end-all and I think talking
20:42
and communicating rather than being snidey
20:45
and indirect online is the way forward.
20:48
Faith said, "I'm not a teenager anymore, but when I was
20:50
I would like to know how important love really is at that
20:54
age."
20:57
What's so funny is
20:59
I thought I was in love
21:01
at that age
21:04
but actually being an adult it's not the same
21:06
kind of love
21:09
and.. I don't know, I think that's all I could really say on that.
21:11
I do think it exists in teenagers, like
21:14
I do belive if you truly love someone.. kinda like the
21:17
people that meet when they're young and then they stay together forever.. that is true love
21:20
and I think that can happen and if it happens to you
21:24
then you're really lucky, but I thought
21:27
it had happened but it hadn't
21:30
and it's only as I got older and met new people
21:32
that I can see that I hadn't
21:35
been, if that makes sense. So in ask to your question,
21:37
it's not that important. I think
21:40
what is important at that age is learning to love yourself
21:43
and learning to love
21:46
other human beings, whether that's friends or like family.
21:49
I think that's important, but
21:52
being in love with someone I don't
21:55
think is so important at that
21:58
age personally. "How do you cope with toxic
22:00
friends and how can I get out of a toxic friendship?"
22:04
If you are with a group of friends in school
22:07
who are toxic and
22:11
you are.. you just aren't happy
22:14
then you need to step
22:17
away from that group of friends and I know
22:20
it can feel so hard, but
22:23
I just feel like if.. if.. if you're.. if you're
22:27
with friends who aren't making you happy, if they're
22:30
bulling you, if they're making you feel unconfortable, they're pressurising you..
22:32
they're not the sort of people you'll ever gonna grow up and be
22:36
thankful that you're friends with, they're not the sort of people
22:38
that you're gonna invite to your like wedding in ten years
22:41
then.. there.. there's not point, do you know what I mean?
22:44
It's such a waist of you as a human being because
22:47
there are people out there who will appreciate you,
22:50
who will treat you with nothing but kindness and love
22:53
and you may feel like
22:56
there is no one else, but there is.
22:58
If you flip that and if you think you see
23:01
someone who is being bullied or
23:04
who is part of a very toxic friendship then
23:06
you should extend an arm.. like
23:09
ask them how they are, like check they're
23:12
okay, even if they're not part of your friendship group,
23:15
because there's nothing worse than feeling like
23:18
you're alone in something and
23:21
whether that's you feeling that way or you know
23:24
someone who feels that way or you've seen someone who looks unhappy
23:27
in their group of friends or is getting picked on or
23:30
who has no friends.. I think is just as important for
23:33
you to reach out to them. Just ask them how they are, ask them
23:36
how their day's been, ask them what they're doing later..
23:40
like..
23:42
message them anything because that can
23:44
make someone feel so much happier.
23:47
Cause as much as I can say, "oh, like, you'll find new friends.."
23:50
I think it's just as important for other people to open their eyes
23:53
and realize that there might be people that feel like they have no
23:56
one and when I was in school
23:59
I don't think I did that enough. I don't think I
24:02
extended an invite
24:05
or smiled at the people who probably needed
24:08
it more than I thought they did, if that makes
24:11
sense, and
24:14
it makes you feel good, it makes them feel good.
24:16
I really like the saying, "some friends are
24:18
for a reason, some are for a season and some are for a
24:21
lifetime" and that's okay.
24:24
If some are for a season, fine. They were great
24:27
for that season and it was fab and sometimes it's not meant
24:30
to last beyond that. Some are for a reason, so they might come
24:33
into your life for a purpose. Lifetime
24:36
is so rare. That was another thing..
24:39
in school I feel like it's such a big deal to have
24:42
a lot of friends and it isn't. Have your
24:45
select friend, whether that's one, whether that's two, whether that's three, whether that's
24:48
ten.. if you have those
24:51
cool people who make you happy, who bring something to your life,
24:54
who influence you in a positive way that's all you
24:57
need, and anyone who doesn't do that..
25:00
don't waste your time. Ella said, "if you could be
25:02
a teenager again, which teenage year would you go back to
25:05
and why?"
25:08
I would say..
25:10
uh, that's so hard.
25:13
Maybe like fifteen, like
25:17
start of GCSE's.. fourteen/fifteen..
25:19
what year is that? Year 9? I would go
25:22
back to Year 9 because I felt quite confident in myself..
25:25
although I didn't know what I wanted to do.. I felt
25:29
confident in the subjects I was doing
25:32
for GCSE.. I settled with like.. yeah I'm happy with these,
25:35
umh.. I had my like..
25:38
cool group of friends,
25:41
umh.. I had a social life
25:43
and I had a lot of fun
25:46
and I felt more confortable in myself, I
25:49
think.
25:53
Yeah.
25:54
Fourteen/fifteen and like no responsabilities
25:55
cause I hadn't started exams yet. *exults* Abby said,
25:58
"What was it like when you first got your period?" I actually
26:00
got my period in school.
26:03
It was in tutor time, right before last lesson
26:05
and I just.. I was one of the last ones out of
26:08
my friends and I was really excited about it.
26:11
I remember that we had someone come to our school who did like
26:14
a talk. She talked about like periods
26:17
and things you could use when you're on your period
26:19
and they gave you like the goodie bag when you left
26:23
and in it it had like two night time pads,
26:26
umh.. some tiny little tampons
26:29
and some like day time pads and then like a
26:32
leaflet and like..
26:35
it was just like a little information pack, and it made me
26:38
so excited to start my period and then
26:41
like a year later I did
26:44
in a lesson and I was a little bit embarassed by that actually.
26:47
I had to do the old tide the jumper around the waist cause I had nothing
26:50
on me and then I went home and I told my mum
26:53
and then I realized that
26:56
I uhm.. was gonna bleed like every month
26:58
for like the majority of my life, so I wasn't
27:00
that excited after that. *laughs*
27:03
*exults*
27:07
Jennifer said, "When did you start shaving?"
27:08
I thought this was quite a good one because
27:11
I had to really think about this and I had to think about
27:13
what the first thing was I shaved. I feel like it might
27:17
have been my armpits..
27:20
or maybe it was my legs? I feel like my
27:24
armpits took a really long time
27:27
to get hair.
27:30
I remember I had like a couple of hair there and I was like, "ugh,
27:31
that's weird.." Uhm.. and I had..
27:35
and I always used my dad's
27:37
razor that he would leave on like the side of the bath. I
27:39
must've been about fourteen..
27:42
thirteen or fourteen. Umh..
27:45
and the amout of times I sliced
27:48
my legs on my dad's blunt razors
27:51
was
27:54
a lot. *laughs* What I will say though is if you are
27:56
planning on starting shaving.. if you haven't yet gotten to
27:59
that point.. leave it as long as you can
28:02
because
28:05
again is something you get so excited to do
28:07
and then you just realize it is a chore
28:10
and a ball ache and the hair just grows back thicker..
28:13
I do remember though.. umh.. my
28:16
mum.. I remember
28:19
the first time I shaved down there..
28:21
I must've been like..
28:24
sixteen.. fifteen/sixteen.. because I thought
28:26
that that's what you have to do.. I wasn't sure, I don't know..
28:28
umh.. and I must have left the hair in the bath..
28:31
This is quite an embarassing story, I don't know if I really wanna tell this.. oh well.. I didn't was it
28:34
away..
28:37
and the next day my mum was like, "If you ever want
28:38
to shave your bikini line
28:41
you just.. you need to be very careful because
28:44
umh.. it grows back longer and
28:47
thicker
28:50
and I've heard it can start growing
28:52
down your legs." And I remember her telling me that
28:55
obviously to try and scare me umh..
28:58
and after that I was
29:01
actually really terrified to ever shave down there
29:03
again. Turns out..
29:06
it hasn't grown down my legs so thanks for that, mum.
29:09
I mean it might.. she might not have been lying, but.. I mean..
29:13
29:16
She could've just said, "Hey, I noticed you shaved you bits,
29:17
just be careful and umh..
29:21
let me buy you a nice razor so you don't have to use your dad's
29:24
manky old one. So I think I'm gonna stop there because
29:27
I have been rambling on for quite a long time now.
29:30
Thank you so much for watching this video, it's gotten dark
29:33
as I've been filming this and Buzz has gone
29:36
and the dogs are barking and Alfie's going crazy
29:38
so I should probably go, but thank you for being so patience with me
29:41
and waiting for this video. Umh.. I really hope it helps some of
29:44
you. Umh..
29:47
Being a teen is difficult, it doesn't matter what anyone
29:48
says. Everyone will have their troubles and tribulations, just remember
29:51
you're probably not the only one feeling a certain way.
29:54
Umh.. offer a hand or a smile
29:57
to someone who might need it because
30:00
umh.. that can make a lot of
30:03
difference and it may seem overwhelming at times, but look,
30:06
I've got through it, you can too.
30:09
And I look back at my teenage years and
30:12
reember some of the best
30:15
times
30:18
so I really feel like you will too, but please don't
30:20
hesitate to tweet me or leave comments..
30:23
umh.. everyone have a little chit chat, send your
30:26
reassurances, ask your questions.. there will be a
30:29
lot of people watching this video that can offer advice
30:32
so don't be scared to leave a comment and..
30:36
yeah, I love you very much and I will see you again very soon, bye!

歌词与翻译
[中文]
大家好！首先，我想说
，我很抱歉两周内没有上传
。
我想这是我
很长一段时间
没有上传的情况下在这个频道上停留的最长时间。
我确实有充分的理由..
我太忙了。
我上气不接下气的原因是我刚刚跑到楼梯顶..
哦，我起了水泡..
穿运动鞋时一定要穿袜子！
我上气不接下气的原因是因为我跑完了所有的楼梯
，这个房间就像桑拿房一样！
所以我满头大汗。
我想我在这个视频中可能会有点混乱。
我一整天都化着同样的妆容。
我只是不太确定这是什么样子。
但我们来了！我们正在制作视频！
是的，正如我所说，真的很抱歉我这么忙
这实际上是不真实的，上周我感觉不太舒服
所以，我来了！在我的阁楼上！
呃！聆听海鸥的声音！
哇，就像回到了我在海边的旧公寓，
谁还记得那件事？
我已经把腿张开了，这不是好看，是你看不到的好作品！
我知道你们真的很喜欢我更冷静的
聊天视频或问答，
无论是我自己还是和朋友一起..嗯..
所以我想我今天就做一个！再做一次
闲聊问答。我的牙齿上有口红吗？
不。因此，我在 YouTube 上的观看人数或
观众中，最大的一部分是
18 岁以上的人，但是
仍然有大量
未满 18 岁的人，而且我总是
注意到你们中的很多人对
我青少年时期的感受以及我
如何处理成长过程中的某些情况有很多疑问
，但我不觉得就像我曾经制作过这样的视频一样..
嗯.. 所以，我在 Twitter 上问你
如果你有的话.. 哦，实际上是在 Instagram 上！
我在 Instagram 故事中说过，如果您有任何疑问
，请发推文给我。我觉得
我应该指出的第一件事是
，作为一个青少年
与我十几岁的时候有多么不同，因为有趣的是，
尽管我不愿意承认，但这对我来说实际上是很久以前的
时间了，所以我
十七岁，十年前，所以我的青少年时期
只是一段很短的时间，我会让你做数学
我经常被问到同样的问题
也就是说，如果你现在是青少年
你会怎么找到它，老实说
我不知道，我认为你们都应该获得一枚奖牌
因为像社交媒体
和 Instagram 以及喜欢和喜欢这样的
流行事物
在我上学的时候还没有，我们有 MSN
即时通讯工具
还有类似 AOL 的聊天室，我们
如果有信用就可以发短信，
我内心有很大一部分非常感激
...
像 MySpace、
Beebo 和 Facebook 这样的事情，只有在
。我们第一个拥有的是哪一个？
我十几岁的时候才真正发生
我们有.. 我觉得我先有 MySpace，然后
Beebo，我当时一定是十五岁、十六岁
我觉得，没有人真正知道如何使用
它，而且它都很新，
而且不一样。虽然我想说，对于
你们九十岁的孩子中的任何一个
来说，他们可能也使用过Beebo和MySpace，但我们
唯一真正争论过的事情是
你的朋友在你的前8位朋友中的排名
。 *笑*
我曾经讨厌这样做！
我想我曾经把它们打乱，或者随机放置，因为它就像
那是唯一在我们的友谊小组中引起争吵的事情
或者是这样？我不知道;如果我不像某些人的前 5 名那样，也许我只是暗自感到非常难过*笑*
我与人进行过最多的互动是在 MSN Messenger 上
，在那些日子里，你只有朋友——仅此而已。
而您真正需要考虑的唯一一件事是您要在 MSM Messenger 中放入哪首歌词，例如标语
它叫什么？生物？标语？我不记得
了，但是嘿！如果我们没有 Twitter，你就不可能问我这些问题
所以...
我想这就是！
朱莉娅确实问过“你认为
现在的青少年与青少年时有何不同？
，我想我有点回答了这个问题。现在在你的友谊团体之外有
更多的压力，而
我当时没有。与我们真正的朋友的唯一
互动是
实际的面对面交谈，
然后当我们某种朋友，那时您会获得
他们的 MSN，然后您就会获得他们的电话号码，但是
社交媒体上并没有类似的
肖像图片
我想，我很想像一群青少年一样与
聊天，了解他们对此的真实感受
那真是太棒了。评论！
让我们讨论一下
，作为一个青少年，你对 Twitter、
Facebook 之类的东西感觉如何。老实说……对我来说就像一场噩梦！
当我在学校时，有人创建了类似“评价我的老师”之类的东西，这就像
...
“你如何控制你的荷尔蒙”。一个青少年？”这是香农的
。
你不能！
这就是答案。你不能，真的。
实际上，当我回想起
我还是个青少年的时候。青少年？青少年...
我的荷尔蒙相当
极端，但这只是当我
回顾我的一些行为时。
我并不糟糕，别误会我的意思，但我的情绪波动很大
，我记得我曾经和我的爸爸妈妈和我争吵
...
肯定是
在与荷尔蒙作斗争
。
我当时不会承认这一点，但现在回想起来，我可以
发现我承认了。青少年时期是一个..
奇怪的时期，因为
你已经上中学了，你
试图弄清楚你是谁，
你的朋友是谁，你和一些人
在一起，他们
你可能不一定与
有很多共同点，但觉得你需要和他们成为朋友，
你每天都会见到这些人
五天一周..就像你生活中的
很大一部分。
难怪你有时会为此苦苦挣扎
。因此，
当
中包含激素时，
您有时会感到挣扎，并且
您开始感受到所有的感觉，这是很自然的。你开始感到
悲伤，你开始感到嫉妒，你开始感到苦涩，
你开始感到愤怒，你开始感到过度
情绪化，你开始感到过度
兴奋，过度快乐。这就像所有
的感觉，所有的情绪和所有的感觉
，我确实有这样的感觉。
嗯..但是
它创造了一些最美好的时刻
和最美好的回忆，还有一些让我回想起
时会说，“哇，我真是个混蛋！”
可能是我的父母和我的兄弟。你需要记住
你周围的每个人也在经历
这种情况，而且每个人的情况有所不同
，你知道..
荷尔蒙对人的影响如此不同，
但本质上你们都在同一条船上，这发生在每个人身上，
所以不要感到奇怪或觉得
你必须以任何方式控制它们。我认为荷尔蒙是一种
非常难以控制的东西，但我确实认为
试图找到一点属于你的时间
，放松一下，拥有一个你喜欢
的空间，能够去
享受片刻..我认为这非常重要，所以显然
就像.. 你的卧室，比如点燃一支蜡烛，放一些童话灯
。.. 就像这是为了让自己
感到轻松，如果一切都变得有点太多了。
我觉得这个视频会很长，因为我是个漫无目的的人。
Faith Dorsen 说“被迫吸烟/电子烟？”
实际上，我没有一群朋友
向我施压过。
嗯..但我看到
其他人感到有压力这样做。
我想我.. 当我十几岁的时候，我确实想..
看到的事情是我从来没有感受到别人的压力
而且我的父母不是很喜欢.. 从这个意义上来说很严格，
就像他们永远不会教导我不要喝酒，
不要吸烟和..
他们有点让我和我的兄弟自己做决定
，我认为这有点聪明，
因为我们都不是很狂野。
嗯..
而且.. 我认为
我所承受的唯一压力就是我自己。就像我有朋友
抽烟、喝酒一样，我也有..
我和一群比我年长
的人一起出去玩，他们在家庭聚会上做着最糟糕的事情。
其中一些记忆至今仍困扰着我。
我在家庭聚会中看到的一些事情只是..
老实说，我认为你不应该像十五岁或十六岁的孩子一样看待它，但是
我从来没有觉得我需要这样做。
我觉得我不需要..
抽烟、喝酒或吸毒。
我只是.. 我有点..
看着其他人这样做，我想，“这看起来并不好玩，
我认为他看起来很愚蠢”！就像我以前只是看着别人
，然后说，“你看起来很蠢”！我不知道，
喜欢.. 它..
对我来说就像.. 它实际上很像.. 关闭？
我只是有点像..“呃，不..那不适合我！”
嗯..我真正承受的唯一类似的压力
是我在脑后思考
“但我是一个青少年，就像..我应该尝试这些事情吗？就像..
我应该..”这几乎就像是我
给自己施加压力？很奇怪！就像......好吧，我想
每个人一生中都应该尝试一次！
事实证明.. 你真的不必这样做，因为
我可以看到其他人在做什么，而且我真的不觉得自己
错过了，幸运的是，我没有
在一群我感到有压力的朋友中。
嗯..但是
我知道我会坚持
我的立场，只是说“不，我很好，谢谢”，我确实认为
如果你在一群朋友中感到压力
你必须坚定立场，因为你永远不会
回想起第一次尝试某件事的记忆
并对此感到舒服，因为
你会永远不要太确定自己是否真的想要
，我只是不确定这是否是一种很好的
做任何事情的方式。我认为
你所做的一切和你经历的一切最终都应该取决于你
，因为这是你的生活。如果有人
让你感到有压力去做爱、抽烟、
喝酒、做任何你不百分百
感到舒服的事情
说不
，如果他们是你的朋友，他们会理解
，如果他们不明白，他们就不是你的朋友。 “
你是否曾经质疑过自己的身体或对自己的身材感到不安？
你是如何克服的？”
是的！我觉得我在我从未回答过的问题中已经触及了一点
。
我经历了一个阶段，
我长高了，
我超级瘦
，我所有的朋友都变得像臀部和胸部
和一个流浪汉，而我仍然有点像.. 呃，
我的什么时候来？
然后
它们发生了，而且发生得很快
所以我的胸部..就像我有一天几乎醒来，我的胸部在那里，我的屁股在那里。
所以现在我有了妊娠纹，呃..
和
有一段时间我不喜欢它
因为它几乎让我看起来更瘦？
因为它就像.. 呃，这些胸部不喜欢..
与我的身体相配并且喜欢.. 我看起来
不像我的朋友。为什么我不能增加体重
，我很挣扎，因为我只是
感觉自己看起来很瘦，嗯..
，我在体育运动中非常不自在，我讨厌
穿短裤，但有趣的是
人们认为当你瘦的时候，你
不会对自己的身体感到不安。
就像我会穿上短裤，人们只是假设
我很自信，因为我穿上了短裤
并且我把腿伸出来了
我确信我周围有人
想要拥有我的腿，但
在我的脑海里，我就像“我讨厌我的腿！”
讨厌游泳.. 天哪，这对我来说
是最糟糕的！就像......你知道当你记得游泳时你会得到
像
一波像*咕哝*的声音。我讨厌游泳
，老实说，我相信我的游泳组中有百分之九十八
的女孩因为这个原因讨厌
游泳。如果
你要让大约二十个女孩
都喜欢
以非常不同的速度成长和变化
并习惯自己的身体并尝试了解
为什么事情是这样的，它们是怎样的或者为什么你
不像莎莉在你旁边或者为什么
你的一个胸部似乎比
另一个胸部生长得更快或者为什么你有一个像摇摇晃晃的
或者为什么你感觉这么瘦......你永远不会
有一个很好的教训！
好像这永远不会是一个很棒的lisson..课程。我们..我们
都
非常讨厌游泳。就像
没有人喜欢......除了那个
女孩，她喜欢游泳，比如吸塑袜子和泳帽
以及护目镜和鼻夹？就像她喜欢游泳，但
其他人一样
不喜欢游泳。而且..我只是觉得
每个人都盯着我穿着泳衣，因为我
太瘦了，而且我非常讨厌它
。我还是这么做了，
我仍然穿上泳衣，我仍然..而且我
无论如何讨厌游泳。就像..我..我只是..我
讨厌游泳。
嗯..
但是.. 我不知道。这有点像
一个来来去去的阶段。我记得
在大约十二岁到十四岁之间
，过了那段时间，我想我就不再关心了，因为
我有点接受了这样一个事实：
每个人的身体都在以不同的速度生长和变化
，每个人都有一些对自己不满意的地方
或者他们觉得自己想要改变的东西
，这对我来说非常放心，因为
我觉得我是唯一一个
奇怪的人，但实际上每个人都觉得
在某些时候他们是奇怪的人，我很
很幸运，因为有很多人做不到这一点，
我对此感到非常难过。伊芙说：“如何
告诉朋友你不能或不想参加聚会，因为他们不
理解？我爱你！”我也爱你！
这很难，因为
由于焦虑，我根本不想去很多事情。
嗯..但我觉得我只是说，“我不想去！” *笑”
对我来说
最糟糕的部分是
我不能去，而不是我不想
去..如果这有道理的话。是我觉得我不能去，
不是我不想去。所以
我会在家里知道他们
都在外面度过了一个晚上，他们都度过了一段美好的时光
，我最希望自己能
在那里，但我知道我不能
，那是..实际上，这对我来说
是一段艰难的时光。
那是我知道我必须处理的事情..就像那不是一样。
我的朋友必须处理的事情。这就是
我和我应该做的
早点和别人谈过，
早点得到帮助，
然后过着我十几岁的样子，
二十岁出头，没有焦虑，而不是试图进一步解决这个问题
，但是
嗯..是的，我觉得
你只需告诉他们，然后再告诉他们，如果他们是你的朋友
他们会理解，如果他们不
理解，也
没关系，因为这意味着
这不是他们经历的事情
，但归根结底，如果你不想出去
或者你觉得自己不能
那就
不要出去。
你可能会感到害怕，但
这是你做出的选择，如果他们爱你
那么他们仍然会说他们想念你。艾比说，
“在
高中期间，你最喜欢和朋友一起做的事情是什么？”天啊，好吧。所以这可能
是我最喜欢的东西。我们想去彼此的
房子，我们会制作..
嗯.. 用照片
和 Window's Movie Maker.. 我们会制作嗯..
小电影，我仍然保留着它们，那就是..
和
现在.. 现在我会将它们上传到 YouTube
，而当时 YouTube 还没有存在，所以我只是想让它们
并保存它们，我们想重演
的事情，所以我们..我们做了《卑鄙女孩》，我们
做了..天哪..我们确实喜欢
奇怪..我和我的朋友们做了《指环》..
喜欢..我们会用幻灯片
电影音乐，
和喜欢的文字
在照片中重演一整部
非常有趣。这就是我们所做的。当我
长大一点的时候，就像家庭聚会一样，
嗯.. 嗯，我们曾经.. 我们学校旁边有一个公园
，所以我们经常在公园里闲逛。
是的..实际上有很多美好的时光。
很多美好的朋友时光。我们周末常常去购物
，我们都会坐公共汽车进去
，我们会买一次性相机，喜欢拍照
，还有很多过夜的经历。我们总是试图做所有的事情，
晚上
和.. 有趣的是，你们都认为我会
很糟糕，但我实际上并没有那么糟糕。
“当你加入的友谊小组因为
无事而闹翻时该怎么办？你会如何处理？”
哦..我们有相当多的这些，我们真的有。
嗯..
正如我在本文开头所说，当你
陷入一种..
的境地，在你生命的大部分
中与同一个人相处五年
，你就.. 你永远不会一直相处融洽。
就好像你不是一样。会有一些事情
以错误的方式激怒一个人
，然后会出现紧张，然后很尴尬
，然后小组分裂，然后有些人在那边，
有些人在那边，然后整个部门
，他们不与这些人说话，而且会
结束一些你甚至不记得结束了什么的事情。
我认为今天的不同之处
与那时非常不同的是，过去
发生在我们的朋友身上，他们中的很多人都在组成
，而分类必须面对面进行
我觉得现在可能不会发生那么多
因为有像 Facebook
以及像 Messenger 和 Twitter 这样的东西，...
有很多你可以看到不同的地方，比如..
冷嘲热讽之类的东西，但是
在过去..
在过去.. 这让我听起来很古老，但是
当我十几岁的时候，它会是像
那样的东西.. 会有一些
在学校说过的话，有人会以错误的方式理解它，或者有人会一直这样认为
糟糕的一天，其他人会尽可能关心
.. 嗯..
然后就会有一些小争吵..
我不会说我们都闹翻了，
但肯定有类似..
到处都有的小争论。
你好！
你好巴兹！
现在我们有 Buzzy。
想跳上去吗？
你要坐下来还是要在我身后重重地呼吸？
你好！
呃！你在……你在我的头发里！你们都是..
嗡嗡声！
哦！
好吧，你就像一只鹦鹉！
嗡嗡声！
对了，坐下！
好孩子。好孩子。我觉得
当时争论感觉如此
巨大，如此
就像..就像世界末日一样，你们将
永远不再成为朋友，这会很尴尬
但
最终你和好了，因为
替代方案是什么？就像你们每天都见面一样。
当你和某人关系如此亲密时，比如兄弟姐妹
或亲戚
，并且你花了很多时间和他们在一起，你就会
只是以错误的方式互相摩擦，有时你们会
发生争吵，但随后你们会和好，然后你会比以前更强大
因为你必须喜欢谈论你的分歧，你有点..
一起成长，实际上
我认为如果
在成长过程中你从未与朋友发生过争执，那会更奇怪，因为..
因为发生了很多事情，
发生了很多变化，这是一个
疯狂的时期，所以你当然会争吵，
但你只需要知道那些
争吵不一定是
最重要的是，我认为交谈
和沟通而不是冷嘲热讽
和间接在线才是前进的方向。
Faith 说：“我已经不再是青少年了，但当我
的时候，我想知道爱情在那个
年龄到底有多重要。”
有趣的是
我以为我在那个年纪
恋爱了
但实际上作为一个成年人，这不是同一种
的爱
并且..我不知道，我想这就是我真正能说的。
我确实认为它存在于青少年中，就像
我确实相信，如果你真的爱一个人..有点像
人们在年轻时相遇，然后永远在一起..那就是真爱
我认为这可能发生，如果它发生在你身上
那么你真的很幸运，但我认为
它已经发生了，但它没有
只有当我长大并结识新朋友时
我可以看到我没有
去过，如果这有意义的话。所以在问你的问题时，
这并不重要。我认为
在那个年龄重要的是学会爱自己
并学会爱
其他人，无论是朋友还是家人。
我认为这很重要，但是
爱上一个我不
认为在那个
年龄的人是如此重要。 “你如何应对有毒的
朋友？我怎样才能摆脱有毒的友谊？”
如果你在学校里和一群有毒的朋友一起
，而
你就是.. 你不快乐
那么你需要
远离那群朋友，我知道
这会感觉很困难，但是
我只是觉得如果.. 如果.. 如果你.. 如果你
和那些不让你快乐的朋友在一起，如果他们
欺负你，如果他们让你感到不舒服，他们就给你压力..
他们不是那种你长大后会
庆幸与你成为朋友的人，他们不是那种
你会邀请你参加十年后的婚礼的人
然后.. 那里.. 没有意义，你知道吗？意思是？
作为一个人，它就像你的腰部，因为
外面有人会欣赏你，
他们只会用善良和爱来对待你
，你可能会觉得
没有其他人，但确实有。
如果你翻转它并且你认为你明白了
一个被欺负的人，或者
属于非常有毒的友谊，那么
你应该伸出手臂.. 比如
询问他们怎么样，比如检查他们是否
还好，即使他们不属于你的友谊团体，
因为没有什么比感觉
你独自一人在某件事上更糟糕的了，
无论是你有这种感觉还是你认识
有这种感觉的人或者您看到某人在朋友圈中看起来不开心
，或者被欺负，或者
没有朋友。我认为
您与他们联系同样重要。只要问他们过得怎么样，问他们
今天过得怎么样，问他们稍后在做什么......
比如..
给他们发任何消息，因为这可以
让别人感到更快乐。
因为我可以说，“哦，就像，你会找到新朋友..”
我认为对于其他人来说，睁开眼睛
并意识到可能有人觉得自己没有
朋友也同样重要，而当我在学校时
我认为我做得还不够。我不认为我
发出了邀请
，或者对那些可能比我想象的更需要
的人微笑，如果这有意义
，并且
这让你感觉良好，也让他们感觉良好。
我真的很喜欢这句话，“有些朋友
是有原因的，有些是一季，有些是
一生”，这没关系。
如果有些是一季的，那没问题。他们在那个赛季表现出色
，非常棒，但有时并不意味着
会持续下去。有些是有原因的，所以他们
进入你的生活可能是有目的的。一生
是如此罕见。那是另一回事了..
在学校我觉得拥有
很多朋友是一件大事，但事实并非如此。让你的
选择朋友，无论是一个，无论是两个，无论是三个，无论是
十个..如果你有这些
很酷的人，他们让你快乐，给你的生活带来一些东西，
以积极的方式影响你，这就是你
所需要的，而任何不这样做的人..
不要浪费你的时间。 Ella 说：“如果你能再次成为
少年，你会回到
少年的哪一年？为什么？”
我会说..
呃，这太难了。
也许像十五岁，就像
GCSE 开始.. 十四/十五..
那是哪一年？ 9年级？我会
回到9年级，因为我对自己很有信心..
虽然我不知道自己想做什么..我对我正在做的
有信心..我同意了..是的，我对这些很满意，
GCSE科目感到
嗯..我有我喜欢的..
一群很酷的朋友，
嗯..我有社交生活
，我玩得很开心
，我觉得自己更舒服，
。
是的。
十四/十五并且没有责任
因为我还没有开始考试。 *欢欣鼓舞*艾比说，
“你第一次来月经时感觉怎么样？”我实际上
在学校来了月经。
那是在辅导时间，就在上节课之前
，我只是.. 我是
我朋友中最后的一个，我对此感到非常兴奋。
我记得有人来到我们学校，他确实喜欢
演讲。她谈到了像经期
和你在经期时可以使用的东西
，当你离开
时，他们给了你像礼袋一样的东西，里面有两个夜间卫生巾，
嗯..一些很小的卫生棉条
，一些像日间卫生巾，然后像
传单之类的。
它就像一个小信息包，它使我
很高兴开始经期，然后
就像一年后我在课程中
一样，实际上我对此感到有点尴尬。
我不得不穿上老式的套头毛衣，因为我身上什么都没有
，然后我回家告诉了我妈妈
然后我意识到
我嗯..在我生命的大部分时间里每个月
都会流血，所以在那之后我就没有
那么兴奋了。 *笑*
*狂喜*
詹妮弗说，“你什么时候开始刮胡子的？”
我认为这是一个很好的选择，因为
我必须真正考虑这个问题，我必须考虑
我剃的第一件事是什么。我觉得可能
是我的腋窝..
或者可能是我的腿？我觉得我的
腋窝花了很长时间
才长出毛发。
我记得我那里有几根头发，我想，“呃，
这很奇怪..”嗯.. 我有..
我总是用我爸爸的
剃须刀，他会把它放在浴缸的一边。我
一定是十四岁左右..
十三或十四岁。嗯..
，我的腿
被我爸爸的钝剃刀
割伤的次数
很多。 *笑*我要说的是，如果你
计划开始剃须..如果你还没有达到
那个点..尽可能长时间地保留它
，因为
再次是你非常兴奋做的事情
然后你就会意识到这是一件苦差事
和球疼痛，头发又长得更厚了..
我确实记得..嗯..我的
妈妈..我记得
我第一次在那里刮胡子..
我一定是这样的..
十六..十五/十六..因为我认为
那就是你必须做的..我不确定，我不知道..
嗯..我一定把头发留在浴缸里了..
这是一个相当尴尬的故事，我不知道我是否真的想讲这个.. 哦好吧.. 我没有
离开..
第二天我妈妈就说，“如果你想要
剃掉你的比基尼线
你就.. 你需要非常小心，因为
嗯.. 它会长回来更长并且
更厚
，我听说它会开始
沿着你的腿生长。”我记得她告诉我
显然是想吓唬我嗯..
然后我
实际上真的很害怕再次在那里刮胡子
。事实证明..
它还没有从我的腿上长出来，所以谢谢你，妈妈。
我的意思是，这可能.. 她可能没有说谎，但是.. 我的意思是..
...
她本可以说，“嘿，我注意到你刮了你的胡子，
小心点，呃..
让我给你买一把漂亮的剃须刀，这样你就不必使用你爸爸的
男人般的旧剃须刀。所以我想我要就此打住，因为
我有
非常感谢您观看这个视频，天已经黑了
，因为我一直在拍摄这个视频，巴兹已经走了
，狗在吠叫，阿尔菲也发疯了
，所以我可能应该走了，但是感谢您对我如此耐心
并等待这个视频。嗯..我真的希望它对你们中的一些人有所帮助。嗯..
...
作为一个青少年是困难的，任何人
说什么并不重要，只要记住
你可能不是唯一有某种感觉的人
嗯.. 向可能需要的人伸出援助之手或微笑
，因为
嗯.. 这可以带来很多
的变化，而且可能看起来势不可挡。有时，但是看，
我已经度过了难关，你也可以。
我回顾自己的青少年时代，
记得一些最好的
次
，所以我真的觉得你也会的，但请不要
犹豫给我发推文或发表评论。
嗯..每个人都有一点闲聊，发送你的
请放心，提出您的问题.. 会有
很多人观看此视频，可以提供建议
，所以不要害怕发表评论，并且..
是的，我非常爱你，我很快就会再次见到你，再见，劳拉·罗斯·拉塞尔 (Laura Ross Russell) 的字幕！

重点语法结构
-
I do have a good reason for it..
➔ 使用助动词'do'进行强调
➔ 助动词'do'用于强调语句，突出确实*有*一个有效的原因。不是简单地说'我有一个好理由'，而是'我*确实*有一个好理由'。
-
I've had the same make-up on all day..
➔ 现在完成进行时（暗示）- 动作持续到现在的时长
➔ 虽然没有明确说明“我*一直*化着同样的妆容…”，但含义暗示从今天早上到现在一直处于持续状态。'have had'结构在这种情况下也起着类似的作用。
-
I don't feel like I've ever done a video like this..
➔ 完成不定式（'to have done'）- 在某个时间点（感觉）之前完成的动作
➔ 短语“I've ever done”使用完成不定式来表达说话者没有制作这种类型视频的先前经验。没有做过的“感觉”与之前未制作这种视频的完成动作相关联。
