Being a teenager Quote by Christopher Titus
“Being a teenager is the worst thirty years of your life. But it all changes after that. You get a great car, a great job. You got a wife, kids, you got your health. But then your company is sold out from under you, your stocks tank, your wife's sleeping with the gardener and your teenage daughter is pregnant. And you notice that you have a prostate so hard, you can actually take a hammer to it. But hey, not one zit.”

![“[People say]'You're always happy' and I'm, like, sometimes I have a huge zit on my face. But if you smile, people won't notice that. I do have bad-hair days but if you feel confident in yourself it would make people want to be around you.” quote by Cheyenne Kimball](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fcc/cheyenne-kimball-22357_always-happy_people-say-you-re-always-happy-and-i-m-l_279980.jpg)
