When I started out as a music journalist, at the end of the 1980s, it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded, beatbox disco soared, indie rock took off, and new wave invented a language of teen angst. ~ Rob Sheffield
Teen Angst quotes by Rob Sheffield
Lesley Gore's part-time field was pop singer, and in her brief but urgent prime, she was the Queen of Teen Angst. She endured heartbreak as a birthday girl betrayed by her beau in 'It's My Party,' savored revenge in the sequel 'Judy's Turn to Cry' and belted the proto-feminist anthem 'You Don't Own Me.' ~ Richard Corliss
Teen Angst quotes by Richard Corliss
People come to New Orleans to forget themselves and party like a pagan. They gorge themselves on exotic spicy foods and five to seven course meals, taking hours to consume. They behave badly in bars and routinely encourage their willing female counterparts to flash their tits for cheap plastic beads. Beads women would never wear anywhere else but in New Orleans become triumphant symbols of one's insatiable allure. ~ Darwun St. James
Teen Angst quotes by Darwun St. James
When I feel myself slipping to the darkness of my past, I'll close my eyes and remember this. Remember Jackson. ~ Stacey Trombley
Teen Angst quotes by Stacey Trombley
And it occurred to me; I was not part of the action. Oh God, I thought, I'm not an anthropologist. I'm the lonely voice-over narrator of adolescence. The bitter, voice-over voice. ~ Joanna Pearson
Teen Angst quotes by Joanna Pearson
Haydn lets out a low whistle. "You're a real piece of work."
"It's okay," I say, turning to face him. "I got the memo." He arches a brow. "The one that says you hate my guts. There's no need to rub it in. ~ Siobhan Davis
Teen Angst quotes by Siobhan Davis
Before she closed the door, she hit me with this one: "I feel like it's November first," she said, "and I'm that discarded jack-o'-lantern whose heart and guts are splattered all over the boulevard of broken promises."
"And a good night to you, too," I said. ~ Rick Detorie
Teen Angst quotes by Rick Detorie
Good Charlotte is anger management teen angst. ~ Joel Madden
Teen Angst quotes by Joel Madden
She was the Slayer. Normal teen angst didn't stack up to fangs at your throat. ~ Christopher Golden
Teen Angst quotes by Christopher Golden
I had choosen the path of the black sheep rather than that of the unicorns and puppies. ~ Magenta Periwinkle
Teen Angst quotes by Magenta Periwinkle
It was heartfelt, it was heartbreaking. It was extreme joy, it was bone-crushing grief. It was fiery hot, it was icy-cold. It was true love sprouting ... it was true love dying.
It's like we were both trying to hold onto something that was slipping through our fingers, and we didn't understand why. ~ S.C. Stephens
Teen Angst quotes by S.C. Stephens
I was, like, this token teen angst child of Broadway. It's so funny. What is that? I don't even know. But I loved it. ~ Jennifer Damiano
Teen Angst quotes by Jennifer Damiano
We do not want to be told what we know. We do not want to call things by their names, although we're willing to call one another bad ones. We call meanness nobility and hatred honor. The way to make yourself a hero is to make me out a scoundrel. You won't admit that either, but it's true. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Teen Angst quotes by Thomas Wolfe
Your perpetual loop of teen angst? Or as you put it, your own personal episode of 'Dawson's Creek' playing over and over, like a demented 'Groundhog Day'? ~ Josie Leigh
Teen Angst quotes by Josie Leigh
I've always enjoyed the teen angst thing. I had a lot of teen angst as I was growing up, so I think I have a lot to say about it through characters before I have to move on. ~ Magda Apanowicz
Teen Angst quotes by Magda Apanowicz
Ax." Sadie is breathless as she caresses the angular lines of my face. "I love you so much. You're my whole world. You know that, right? ~ Siobhan Davis
Teen Angst quotes by Siobhan Davis
I never thought I was capable of writing a whole book until Ursula K. Le Guin, with whom I worked briefly in publishing, said, 'you already wrote one (referencing a screenplay), you just need to add the details. ~ E.L. Sayers
Teen Angst quotes by E.L. Sayers
Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit now has a body count. ~ Winona Ryder
Teen Angst quotes by Winona Ryder
Girls are always saying things like, "I'm so unhappy that I'm going to overdose on aspirin," but they'd be awfully surprised if they succeeded. They have no intention of dying. At the first sight of blood, they panic. ~ Rachel Klein
Teen Angst quotes by Rachel Klein
I wrenched myself free and stumbled away. This wasn't happening. My life was not becoming one of those torrid teen-angst shows on cable. ~ Kathleen Peacock
Teen Angst quotes by Kathleen Peacock
Like so many other high school discipline cases, he'd probably been given some hybrid cockamamie ADHD- bipolar diagnosis at a very young age and been medicated into submission for the benefit of his homeroom teacher. We've all read about them in the paper, the problem kids who get slapped with five disorders by the time they're twelve, and horse-pilled by a culture that has pathologized everything from PMS to teen angst. ~ Norah Vincent
Teen Angst quotes by Norah Vincent
Teen angst is so boring, isn't it? I try so hard not to be a cliche, but it's like written in my DNA to hate my parents and be totally unsatisfied with everything. I wonder if there's anyone our age who actually likes their life. ~ Amy Reed
Teen Angst quotes by Amy Reed
But whatever that fatal elixir is, that mixture of circumstance and temperament that leads a person to the edge of death and sometimes back again, it flowed through Lexy's body like blood...
She laughed when she told me these things, making fun of the drama of her teen angst, but I could see that it hurt her to remember. It was during those afternoons in bed that she began to pull out her hair. She wanted, she said, to make her pain tangible, to feel something on the outside. As she lined up the strands of hair on the sheet next to her, she told me, she felt a sense of accomplishment. ~ Carolyn Parkhurst
Teen Angst quotes by Carolyn  Parkhurst
I sigh contentedly as I close my eyes, allowing his body heat to warm me. Even though I've had an amazing time on our date, this is the highlight of my day. I've always been more of a simple pleasures kind of girl. Which isn't me saying I'm ungrateful for everything he did today. Today was magical, and I will remember it for the rest of my life, but I don't need grand gestures from Kal.
I just need him. ~ Siobhan Davis
Teen Angst quotes by Siobhan Davis
He has me pinned on my back in record time, his mouth crashing against mine as we frantically devour one another. "Awesome speech," he murmurs, pushing my sweater up and planting his hot mouth against my equally hot skin. "Very motivational. ~ Siobhan Davis
Teen Angst quotes by Siobhan Davis
Creativity is the catalyst to the future. ~ Ann Marie Frohoff
Teen Angst quotes by Ann Marie Frohoff
...I hate myself. I feel like an idiot saying it because, blah, blah, teen angst, boo hoo, but I do. I hate myself. Almost all the time. I try not to tell anyone because I don't want to burden them, but I feel like I'm falling farther and farther away from them. Like the well's getting deeper and I'm running out of energy to climb it and any minute now, any second, it's going to stop being worth even trying. ~ Patrick Ness
Teen Angst quotes by Patrick Ness
Old people only say that life happens quickly to make themselves feel better. The truth is that it all happens in tiny increments like now now now now now now and it only takes twenty to thirty consecutive nows to realize that you're aimed straight at a bench in Singleton Park. Fair play though, if I was old and had forgotten to do something worthwhile with my life, I would spend those final few years on a bench in the botanical gardens, convincing myself that time is so quick that even plants – who have no responsibilities whatsoever – hardly get a chance to do anything decent with their lives except, perhaps, produce one or two red or yellow flowers and, with a bit of luck and insects, reproduce. If the old man manages to get the words father and husband on his bench plaque then he thinks he can be reasonably proud of himself. ~ Joe Dunthorne
Teen Angst quotes by Joe Dunthorne
And I kind of like the Teen Rebels; they seem to be better than the Bullying Trio. Still, watch your backs, rebels! ~ Jacquel Chrissy May
Teen Angst quotes by Jacquel Chrissy May
One honorable young man can make all the difference ... ~ Robert L. Beck
Teen Angst quotes by Robert L. Beck
I swear, you are the only person I know who makes decisions based on what will provide the best material for a diary. ~ Rob Thomas
Teen Angst quotes by Rob Thomas
I was born into chaos. I didn't know what peace felt like. ~ Shannon A. Thompson
Teen Angst quotes by Shannon A. Thompson
I jumped in the mosh pit, and some kid punched me in the chin, so I swung on ceiling pipes and kicked people in the head. ~ Ned Vizzini
Teen Angst quotes by Ned Vizzini
I'm not the damsel in distress. I'm the villain. It's only a matter of time before he realizes this. ~ Stacey Trombley
Teen Angst quotes by Stacey Trombley
Keep up your determination and drive, because you have the willpower to fight off your weakness. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Every night when I watch you sleep, I breathe you in. Every time I make you smile, my heart beats a tad bit faster. You are the blood flowing through my veins. If I had to go back to the life I had before, I would go freaking insane. ~ Shannon Eckrich
Teen Angst quotes by Shannon Eckrich
I would do anything for Rachel and if she wants an Edward, that's what I'll be. ~ Faye Meredith
Teen Angst quotes by Faye Meredith
I felt my heart healing. I felt like I was wide awake because no matter how I expressed my thoughts and feelings I came to the realization that you didn't care and you would never care. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Always be true to yourself and live your best life. ~ John R. Miller
Teen Angst quotes by John R.  Miller
'Teen Moms!' I started watching them like the first two seasons, and I stopped. I stopped because they are too young. I feel sorry for them. And I didn't watch that show 'Hoarders.' That thing would made my skin crawl. ~ NeNe Leakes
Teen Angst quotes by NeNe Leakes
Hormones, it seemed, we're making a much-delayed appearance in her life.

Liv was horrified. ~ Danika Stone
Teen Angst quotes by Danika Stone
Sometimes I wish I were passionate about something real. Something I knew I could succeed in. Right now all my dreams are a little far-fetched. ~ Kasie West
Teen Angst quotes by Kasie West
I'm still secretly a bit of a punk. Love The Clash and a bit of the Pistols. I guess as I've got older I've chilled out a bit. But, my teenage angst is still stirring somewhere! ~ Iwan Rheon
Teen Angst quotes by Iwan Rheon
Anyway, back to the crush. Sorry to shift gears so fast, but we both know why we're here. I mean, if I wanted to discuss the existential angst of motherhood I'd be writing in a journal. Diaries are for the down and dirty, the stuff you don't want people to ever find out about you. Journals are the things you leave open around the house, hoping a literary agent will wander in, read it and declare you the next genius of your age. ~ Lani Diane Rich
Teen Angst quotes by Lani Diane Rich
Sometimes we focus on the lyrics too much and forget to dance to the music. ~ Alexa Anderson
Teen Angst quotes by Alexa Anderson
It's hillbilly urine; we had better get home before they come to eat us. Kevin said pointing towards home proving if there was ever any doubt that he had no acting ability at all. (The Children of Ankh series) ~ Kim Cormack
Teen Angst quotes by Kim Cormack
There are infinite numbers of do overs for your teen girls. ~ Brene Brown
Teen Angst quotes by Brene Brown
By the time Mitch got out of jail, he looked more the part than ever. The imposing teen had graduated into a towering adult, flecked with the first of many tattoos. Once out, he lasted a month and a half before the curse caught back up with him. He'd gotten a job in food distribution, mostly because he could unload four times the weight of any other guy on the truck, and because he liked physical work. He might be mentally cut out for a desk job, but he doubted he'd fit behind most desks. And everything was going smoothly - shitty apartment and shitty pay but all legally valid - until a man was beaten to death a few blocks from where his crew was unloading peaches. The cops took one look at Mitch and booked him. No bloody knuckles, and two coworkers to swear he had his arms full of fruit the whole time, and none of it mattered. Mitch went straight back to prison. ~ Victoria Schwab
Teen Angst quotes by Victoria Schwab
I kind of was beginning to feel like I was being underutilized [as Teen Ambassador to the UN]. I mean, there were a lot more important issues out there for teens that I could have been bringing international attention to than what kids see out their windows. I mean, instead of sitting in the White House press office for three hours after school every Wednesday, or attending International Festival of the Child concerts, I could have been out there alerting the public to the fact that in some countries, it is still perfectly legal for men to take teen brides -- even multiple teen brides! What was that all about?

And what about places like Sierra Leone, where teens and even younger kids routinely get their limbs chopped off as "warnings" against messing with the warring gangs that run groups of diamond traffickers? And hello, what about all those kids in countries with unexploded land mines buried in the fields where they'd like to play soccer, but can't because it's too dangerous?

And how about a problem a little closer to home? How about all the teenagers right here in America who are taking guns to school and blowing people away? Where are they getting these guns, and how come they think shooting people is a viable solution to their problems? And why isn't anybody doing anything to alleviate some of the pressures that might lead someone to think bringing a gun to school is a good thing? How come nobody is teaching people like Kris Parks to be more tolera ~ Meg Cabot
Teen Angst quotes by Meg Cabot
You don't have to be alone; you are making the choice to be alone. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn't make it a teen movie. ~ Brendan Fehr
Teen Angst quotes by Brendan Fehr
My handwriting as an angsty teen was appalling, yet somehow better than it is now. ~ Anna Kendrick
Teen Angst quotes by Anna Kendrick
I am hell with a knife and there is nothing I can really do about it but try and keep my mouth shut and try not to let it show. ~ Lynda Barry
Teen Angst quotes by Lynda Barry
When I was 15, I sat in despair one day in a creaky old bus that was winding its way through central Mexico (that's another story), trying to decide if I truly believed in God. Not necessarily God with a big white beard looking down from a Biblical heaven, but some kind of sacred spirit above, beneath, and within all things. I'd always had a deep, instinctive faith (even as a small child) in a sacred dimension to life, a Mystery I didn't need to fully define in order to know it, feel it, experience it. But recent grueling events had shaken my faith and closed that connection.

Now, I realize that sitting and railing at God is practically a cliche of teenage angst; that doesn't make the experience any less urgent at age 15, and I was in a dark place. "Okay," I said, throwing the gauntlet down to whatever out there might be listening, "if there is something more than this, then prove it. Just prove it. Or I quit." The bus turned a corner on the narrow, dusty road, and a gasp went up from the people around me. Above us, a rainbow arched through a bright blue, cloudless, rainless desert sky.

Rainbows have been special to me ever since. I know the scientific explanation, of course, water and air and angles of sunlight and all that. But to me, they are always a message. They say: "The universe is a Mystery and you're part of it." And sometimes that's all I need to hear; that's all the answer I need, no matter what the prayer. ~ Terri Windling
Teen Angst quotes by Terri Windling
Mom always taught me not to use the word hate. As if it were profanity. ~ Tedd Arnold
Teen Angst quotes by Tedd Arnold
If he looks at me like that again Dottie will need a bucket and mop to get me back to my room. ~ Gwenn Wright
Teen Angst quotes by Gwenn Wright
Perhaps I can follow a heroic existential nihilist's sterling example of surviving the harshness of reality by employing an attentive narrative examination of my recalcitrant life to extract shards of personal truth and elicit a synthesizing purposefulness of my being from the darkness, anarchy, and chaos of existence. Perhaps through the act of engaging in a deliberative examination of the ontological mystery of being and investigating the accompanying stark brutal doubt that renders a materialistic life intolerably senseless, absurd, and meaningless, I can confront the baffle of being and establish a guiding set of personal values to live by in an indifferent world. Perhaps by using the contemplative tools of narrative storytelling, I can strictly scrutinize the key leaning rubrics veiled within an array of confusing personal life experiences. Perhaps by engaging in a creative act of discovery I can blunt the pain and anguish that comes from the nightmarish experience of suffering from an existential crisis. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Teen Angst quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
You had to find the courage to go toe-to-toe and stand up to fear. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
There are still questions that are haunting me, but you know what? I can either live with it or move on with my life, knowing I will not receive an answer and be fine with it. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
As a reader, I'm often put off by authors and story-lines without families or children and all of the angst and joy they bring with them. ~ C.J. Box
Teen Angst quotes by C.J. Box
I bet you were all only children, or felt isolated, or busy "training" and stuff. I bet none of you can lay claim to knowing what a normal teen life is supposed to be! Geez, you're so judgmental, I wanna puke! ~ Cissie King-Jones Peter David
Teen Angst quotes by Cissie King-Jones Peter David
Your words manipulated me, and I fell for it every single time. Your eyes and words were like a snake. I was hypnotized by your lies. You squeezed me to the point that I suffocated, died mentally, came back to life, and was under your spell. Loving you was cruel, but the craziest thing about it all was that my dumb ass somehow felt safe."
~Love is respect ♥~ ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Teen Angst quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
I didn't think that Herefordshire Social Services would be best pleased about me dumping a poorly socialised pre-teen with mind control powers on them. ~ Ben Aaronovitch
Teen Angst quotes by Ben Aaronovitch
Oh, so now you're abusing the crippled kid, huh?" Kenji takes a moment to steady himself before punching Adam in the arm. "Save your angst for the battlefield, bro. You're going to need it. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Teen Angst quotes by Tahereh Mafi
Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others. ~ Fred Rogers
Teen Angst quotes by Fred Rogers
The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we've all gone through that period. It's not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic. ~ Gus Van Sant
Teen Angst quotes by Gus Van Sant
I'll die of embarrassment."
"At least you'll die knowing. ~ Sandy Hall
Teen Angst quotes by Sandy  Hall
Every moment of our lives we make choices. Most we don't even know we're making, they're so dull or routine or automatic. Some are beyond explanation - like my mom choosing Wyatt's memory over Dad and me. ~ Laura Anderson Kurk
Teen Angst quotes by Laura Anderson Kurk
I've been angst-ridden all my life, but finally I'm in a place where things don't matter so much. ~ Kate Dickie
Teen Angst quotes by Kate Dickie
It was February sixth: eight days until Valentine's Day. I was dateless, as usual, deep in the vice grip of unrequited love. It was bad enough not having a boyfriend for New Year's Eve. Now I had to cope with Valentine datelessness, feeling consummate social pressure from every retailer in America who stuck hearts and cupids in their windows by January second to rub it in. ~ Joan Bauer
Teen Angst quotes by Joan Bauer
Let's go to town," Jo said. "Take me to eat dinner at the hotel."
I sucked in a breath and stared at her for a minute. Here she sat, her hair still wet although neatly braided, wearing an old Kiss sweatshirt, the one with the red mouth and tongue, red sweatpants, and ridiculous red pumps with black scuffs on the toes and heels.
And she wanted me to take her to the Hotel Wyoming, where the rich tourists hung out. I smiled. Because it was possibly the greatest thing I'd ever heard.
"Yeah, let's go to the hotel. Grab your purse and I'll find your coat. ~ Laura Anderson Kurk
Teen Angst quotes by Laura Anderson Kurk
