Day 22- What makes you different from everyone else
There are a lot of things obviously, but one of the first things that came to mind:
I don't find my adolescence age that hard to cope, terrifying, angst-filled, rebellious, everything-everyone-says-about-puberty at all :"/. I actually enjoy it and have no idea what people are talking about D:
Day 23

It's just that, it reminds me of what Naoko said to Tooru in Norwegian Wood, about her and Kizuki not having to go through the pain of puberty at all, and that they had to repay for the fortune in their adulthood. But Tooru didn't understand...
On the other hand, I know quite a few people who are forever stuck in the hell of adolescence, even when they're 40-something already. It's not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes maybe even the contrary.

Maybe the fact that people who don't go through the pain of puberty will pay in their adulthood is true; maybe I was just lucky, or maybe I just wanted to make the best out of living. This may sound sort of nerdy but having read a certain manga had affected me in such a way >__>".
And maybe being stuck in the hell of adolescence, as you said, is not such a bad thing (but then they wouldn't call it "hell" would they? Human is a flexible creature after all).

Whether or not one finds puberty easy to cope with is entirely due to oneself. That's a great thing when a manga has a positive effect on you. -coughswhichonewasitcoughs-
Differently successful and awesome, those adults are the best and worst people around xD. They fuck with your brain but at the end of the day you'll still love them.

That manga's called One Piece, I'm sure you've heard about it one way or another :). If you haven't checked it out, by all means do! It's really good and worth taking a look, though it's pretty long (600 chapters and counting) so be sure you're not in a middle of an exam or something before reading it :P"
They sound like interesting people :). Too bad I don't know many people of that age though...

There's no one who doesn't know about OP xD .
I didn't have the heart to keep reading ever since Ace passed away though. Sometimes I just can't stand it when a character dies, like in 07ghost and Nabari no Ou.
I don't even know why I have friends that age. One is married with kids, some are single and some just keep getting married and divorced again and again...(see why I said they're stuck being teenagers for life xD?)

So you do read OP, glad to know X"D! It's admittedly hard to carry on after Ace's death too, but I just have so much of an obsession that I simply had to keep reading. A favorite character dying is painful enough, but when they do in a manga where hardly anyone dies ever, it only makes the deaths that much more tragic :(. So...I see where you're coming from. I'm still encouraging you to pick it up though, after you've gotten over it
Maybe my circle of friends are just small XD"? And that seems like a great feat your friend has achieved :P....
