Personal Reflection Paper
A Personal Testimony of My Adolescence It is safe to say that the adolescent years were some of the most heartbreaking, complex, yet happiest years of my life. My mother married my stepfather that created a horrible home life. I did not grow unlike all of my friends: small, petite, lightweight, athletic, and short. I had many friends and boyfriends during my middle school years; my social life was one aspect of my adolescence that seemed to thrive. I was well liked and had many friends. I loved school because I was intelligent and my teachers seemed to like me.

I had a different group of best friends almost every year. It was not because they were mad at me or they did not like me. It was because I did not have classes with them and had to make new friends. That was very common at my school. I never fought with my friends because I wanted them to like me. I had an attitude of “go with the flow” even if I did not like what was going on. I am sure I was in some drama with my friends but I do not remember ever being in a fight with them. My main concern was to have as many friends as possible and to be
