When I was pre-adolescent, watching with wonder the antics, joy, humor and sensuality of the beautiful young people in such entertainment offerings as the 'Beach Party' and Elvis Presley movies and television fare like 'The Patty Duke Show' and even 'The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis' (in syndication, mind you, NOT the original run).
I recall vividly thinking that 'this is what it's like to be a teenager'. Your biggest worries would be who to ask to the prom and should you tell your Dad that you scraped the car on the door frame of the garage last Tuesday.
I learned later that life would simply not be quite that romantically glorious nor as blissfully simple.
And, in my 20/20 hindsight, I'm actually GLAD that it isn't!
What do you think?
