If you could be a teenage girl, what kind would you be?

[sysm29]

I chose a mixture of all four.  I'd want to be beautiful enough to go out with glasses and no makeup and long hair and still be beautiful.  I'd want to be active and participate with other kids in physical activities.  I'd have a social side and then I'd have the side that preferred to stay home and watch a movie or read a book in the park alone.  I'd not really want to be a beauty queen but I'd like to take lots of beautiful pictures.  and id have a nonconformist side because I would want to be fearless, and not become a clone, I'd want to be an individual but at the same time be very popular.

and yes, unlike what actually happened to me, I'd be sexually active as a teenage girl.  being a virgin into your 20s and having no experience further isolates you, plus its lonely as hell, so I'd probably be making out with boys all the time, and I would have probably done the whole football team.

so what about you, what would you have been like?  let your fantasies come out.  I'm sure a lot of us would love to be beautiful teenage girls (at least i do).

[rejennyrated]

Jockette for me I think, although oddly enough I was never very sporty as a pseudo-male.

Sporty girls definitely seem to have more fun, and a better attitude to life. I can't be bothered with all the faffing about with makeup and the like, plus my mother was definitely in that mould as a keen Womens Hockey team player, so it's a  case of like mother like daughter.

I'd choose a mixture of 2.  Girly Girl and Alt individualist.  Basically skulls and bows.  I'm not personally very sporty, and I think that I'd be well read but not "bookish".

I am a girly girl drama geek at heart, but I also like a lot of the fashion and styles that would be considered alternative.  (for example if i could get away with it I'd have a combination of gothic victorian steampunk + hello kitty and sailor moon.)

I would not be a nonconformist out of fear of the bourgeois but would just want to be myself, do the things I enjoy, wear what I want and to hell with high school societal expectations.  My popularity would be a result of finding friends who share interests and if that means I wouldn't necessarily make the social scene thats fine by me.  If I got invited to activities that I was interested in attending with the "cool kids" I'd certainly make my presence known. 

Basically, I would like what I like and do what i feel like doing because that's what I enjoy and I'm proud to be me.

The only thing I know for sure, is I will never be a teenage girl, lol!  As for what kind of Woman will I be?  The best woman I can.

[azSam]

Shy and sweet. Very naive. Mega bookworm.

I was naive at that age, and I don't think that would change.

[spacial]

I went for non-conformist. That's me I'm afraid. Down to the marrow in my bones.

Kinda chuffed that it's the majority, (so far).

[ggina]

hmm, if the majority are non-conformists then who are the comformists?

I picked that one as well, but I wouldn't take pride in being different. A person is who he/she is and one shouldn't make a fuss about it. I know, I know, this is only a game - but I've just never been good in playing games...

Well, while I enjoy paintball, it is the only sport I enjoy, and when I used to play in tournaments I really hated the competitive atmosphere, no one wanted to have fun, they wanted to win, so definitly not jockette.

I like fashion and makeup and all that stuff, but I don't think my intrests are so overriding or shallow that I would be the super girly girl, even though it is probably a second

I act shy and naive, but it is not at all who I truly am so I am not that

A blend of all feels like a cop out to me, therefore the only thing left is the alternative girl.

I never seem to be able to conform into patterns that others expect of me, as a male I am into all kinds of girly things, and a a girl I would still love my Linux, Paintball, and gaming which are all stereotypically considered male pursuits. That and liking Leona Lewis and Dimmu Borgir the same on my playlists doesn't put me in anyones definition of "normal" it seems..... Ironically enough, being different is the most popular option here....

[spacial]

I don't think of being a non-conformist as being different.

A non-conformist is someone who thinks for themselves.

I noticed that all animals seem to have the physical attributes to survive in their own eco-systems, except for humans. Humans are astonishingly weak, feeble and suseptable. Our only attribute is our intellect. It's what has taken us from the trees to outer space.

I like being human and celebrate the unique quality that has allowed us to survive and prosper.

For me, being a non-conformist is being human.

[Rock_chick]

I am a teenage girl (well I will be once puperty kicks in) and I definitely don't conform (to anything...up to and including the laws of physics).

No humans are highly specialized for there niche environment. which is the grassy Savannah of Africa. Eyes on the front for keen depth perception. High muscle density when trained extremely good stamina we would originally hunt by chasing down prey like a hyena would... Long distance runs for upto and in excess of a day. Metabolism specialized for heat tolerance and resisting hyperthermia.

Our intellect allowed us to exceed our niche tho and go just about everywhere else..

[Michelle.]

Girly-girl, with a fair dose of librarian thrown into the mix.

[Tammy Hope]

I'm assuming this is "what would you want to be?" not "what do you think you would actually have been given your personality and looks and so forth?"


given that assumption - #1 all the way. though i doubt i'd have ever been elected homecoming queen or whatever...i tend to figure I'd have been the school slut and that girl never gets to be most popular in the more traditional sense....but otherwise, in terms of dress and attitude, very much the girly-girl.

[sarahm]

I like my sports, and the 1 thing guys love, more then sex it's self, is a girl who is toned, and gorgeous.

I am actually planning to tone up, since I have childbearing hips, and a figure, my figure will only get better. So much better! Plus I am a bit boyish, but not unfeminine. I prefer to be around guys then girls, because usually girls are just total bitches or they ->-bleeped-<- me off by being skanky and flirty with all the guys around them (even if they have a boyfriend) So yeah. Guys make me laugh, I have more fun with guys so I prefer to be around them. ^_^

[Sinnyo]

I would be me, but freer. I didn't have a bad teenage experience, but it felt stifled and I would give anything to relive that as a goth girl. I'm naturally introverted anyway; not as shy as I thought I would be even when attempting to 'present', but I do often prefer my own company. It would simply have been nice to look like I felt inside. Consider me shy, and alternative - the contented girl in the black lace skirts, earphones plugged into some Muse.

ULTIMATE GIRLY GIRLLLL ♥

I always wished I could be the head cheer leader dating one of the foot ball players. Prom queen...well that would be cool but I would've loved to have just gone to prom. I missed it because I was not about to be trapped in a suit for a few hours! =X

[Northern Jane]

Well I was, sort of, partly, part-time half way ..... LOL! .... and I know what I would have been like if it hadn't been for my little medical defect and it isn't on your list.

I was into horses and figure skating. I disliked frilly and lived in jeans and a western shirt, usually with boots.

If I had been born normal, I would have been a parent's nightmare because I went from quiet and shy to outgoing and kind of wild at puberty. I was head over heels in love by 14 and if I had been fertile I probably wouldn't have finished high school.

The ultimate girly girl 110 % <3

Pebbles.

At the risk of going off topic, I suggest you are mistaken.

Our depth preception is and colour vision is useful. But a bit of a handicap at dusk.

Our muscle mass is negligable. Especially compared to other animals. Our stamina is lousey. I very much doubt we would have ever chased anything quite so ferocious as a hyeina. In any case, we need to eat the meat of vegitarian animals. Humans are not capable of sustaining a run for more than a few minutes. Our tolerance to heat and cold minimal. Since we lack fur, heat burns us and cold causes us to slow down.

Our only advantage is our intellect, I suggest.

And I celebrate mine.

[Alyx.]

Well, actually, she's right. Humans originally evolved to chase down prey such as antelope for hours until it fell down exhausted. That's why we stand on two legs, it's great for conserving energy. Some tribes in Africa still practice this, and it works out great.

But I picked a mix of all four. As I've found out before, becoming too "specialized" for lack of a better word tends to wear on my mental heath.
