And so it returns. Welcome to part 3 of our Dear troubled teen series, our daily as-and-when feature that sees us banter the innocent types the naively open their hearts to our agony aunt. Hit “see more” for part 3.
In an uncharacteristic display of productivity we’ve decided to post part 2 of our Dear troubled teen series straight after part 1. Hit “see more” to see a much-loved TT user bantered for their mind-numbing status updates on Facebook.
Thanks to Cordey for the dog molestation photo.
We’re not just here to interview, banter, and rant passionately about our (and hopefully your) favourite pop acts. Oh no, the TT team is full of caring types, happy to listen to your life troubling and ever-so-important personal dilemmas. Be it zits of mammoth proportions, understanding the nuanced complexities of the opposite or same sex, or an unhealthy adoration of rather good looking 27-year old teen website editors called Olly - we’ve been there and we sort-of-maybe-a-little-bit know what we’re talking about. Welcome to DEAR TROUBLED TEEN. Remember, our door is always open. Hit “see more”.
Transsexual history was made at the beginning of February when the German-born Kim - formally Tim - Petras became the youngest person EVER to have a full sex change at just 16. Though two years under the legal age in Germany to have the surgery, the op was completed after doctors universally agreed Kim was ‘without a doubt a girl in a boy’s body’. Kim has been taking her hormone replacement therapy since the tender age of 12 - to keep her breasts in check and unwanted facial hair at bay - and she has fought hard to show people that she is more than just her gender, even having to persuade her own dad that the op was the right decision. When asked in an interview about the surgery herself Kim stated “I was asked if I feel like a woman now - but the truth is I have always felt like a woman - I just ended up in the wrong body”.
As the Summer holidays rapidly approach you’ll no doubt be thinking about a Summer job to rake in some well earned cash. The problem? Well everyone keeps banging on about the recession and apparently there’s not many jobs going around. In fact, although maybe slightly older than you lot, the reality is, one in five 18-24 year olds are unemployed. We want to see that change.
At teentoday.co.uk we’re working frantically behind the scenes to bring you our Ultimate Guide To Summer Work, from loads of teen job ideas (not just paper-rounds), support and services to help you find work, interviews and inspiration, the law (because you can’t do a 70 hour week - like we do - just yet), and other bits and bobs that’ll see you earning the moola before you can say mwahahaha… but before we release the guide, we need some inspiration from our loyal crew. We want your ideas for Summer jobs. Hit “see more” to tell us how to do our job.
