Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Thanks for thatVery handy link. I know I'll love the little bleeder and have no regrets, but I just haven't been able to go "woohoo!" - thanks for all the support, though! It'll all work out and at least I earn enough to mean it's not leaving us up shit creek!

It's natural to worry.Comes with the territory. You've got it for the rest of your life, so enjoy it for now while it's only about money!
In the future you'll have worries about colic, vaccinations, nursery, school, exams, accidents, bullying, smoking/drinking/drugs, sex, HIV, driving, piercings/tattoos, criminal friends, mugging, boyfriends/girlfriends, gangs, cults, getting into university, staying in university, leaving unversity and getting a job, marriage, pregnancy - not necessarily in that order, even more worrying - and the rest.
If you're lucky.
