As
I remember it - and of course we are talking ancient history here so the
recollections are very foggy - there was
nothing terribly sweet about being 16.
For
a start that was Year 11 and that meant senior school assessment hell. Whoever
wrote about school days being the best of your life obviously didn’t put the
same amount of pressure on him/herself
in regards to exam results as I did. I loved the social side of school
but the pressure to perform was stifling.
And
of course being 16 means you are still in the middle of the teen angst years
and there’s not much to recommend that either.
But
that’s just me. My delightful niece Scarlett turned 16 today. I don’t have to
live with her but from my completely non-objective point of view I do think she
is indeed sweet.
Happy Birthday Miss Scarlett. XXX
