• I went through that stage every teenager goes through: Who am I? What am I? Where do I fit in? In my case I had to deal with newspapers saying I looked fat or tired or my hair was a mess.

And I feel I am doing good work, and I'm finally getting to see who I really am.

The fact that they seem to have backed off from it seems to suggest they realize they overreacted on me and it looks bad.
