The Anecdotal Drama Teen
“I like to sleep, eat, and act. That’s pretty much my life as it stands – I go to sixth form college, concentrate on my lessons (especially drama classes) eat lunch, study some plays and then go home and sleep. Sound familiar? I’m of the teenage breed of British folk and have come to terms with the fact that my life is rather dull. I have no idea what sort of future I will have and can’t seem to motivate myself to look for further education courses. Is there any point? Sorry to be a bit of a pessimist but, my glass is often half empty, because I like to drink too.”
