Scarleteens, All Growed Up

Unread post by Sam W »

It’s Scarleteen’s 20th birthday. I feel like Scarleteen is ALL GROWED UP. Millions of people who have used Scarleteen over the last two decades, or have been part of it as volunteers or other staff, are now, too. Some of us who were part of Scarleteen as teenagers are even now the parents of teenagers or soon-to-be's ourselves.

This got us thinking: with 20 years of user, volunteer and staff involvement, how did you grow up with and through Scarleteen? We've got some answers to that question from a few other Scarleteen alums here: http://www.scarleteen.com/blog/alice_m/ ... _growed_up
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
