I was starting from scratch. I had grown up the hard way - I learned how loyal I could be‚ I also learned humility. I called Myspace-Guy one day out of the blue to hang out. He’s in town the next day - a long drive - and I finally take notice of how far he goes out of his way. Not really just for me‚ but for all of his friends. Super genuine. We begin to see each other regularly again. Once a week. Now twice

PUBERTY BLUES The TV show I have chosen to talk to you about today is Puberty Blues. It is aired at 8:30pm‚ Wednesday on channel 10. It doesn’t have a specific genre‚ but more like a mixture. I would classify it as a teen drama. Puberty Blues doesnt work in plot twists but offers a suprising reality.
