    It is often said that teenagers begin discovering themselves in high school, but I did the opposite- I lost myself. The source of my pleasure and delight shifted from books to parties, writing to boys, and video-games to my social life.

Having always been considered an unusual girl in the eyes of my peers, I'd never been truly comfortable in my skin.…
