I found Courtney K.'s memoir "Peanut Butter or Jelly," very inspiring, especially for the teenagers of this century.  All teens want these days is to be popular, approved of, and liked. I would know because I have desired those same emotions.  Why does it have to be a bandwagon?  We should be able to be sought-after without going against our preferences; we should have the ability to ask ourselves, "Is sitting with this girls really worth it?"  Yes "... teenagers often feel lost and confused," Courtney says, but is being favored worth the feeling of embarrasment in the future?  I totally agree with Courtney K.; the young adults of this era are still trying to discover who they truly are, but for now, they should "...[stick] with jelly."  Thank you Courtney, for giving teenagers an understanding of what they are going through.
