Late Eighteen

We really don't have to be part of the crowd all the time. You can be in the crowd but not part of it. Don't sweat for inches or pounds, or dress sizes. Instead, sweat to make your outside match your inside.

Make your own type!

We all have a point in our lives when we surge for freedom, for popularity, for love, for everything. A time when we just want to be us, just plain us. Unfortunately, late Eighteen just seems to be that perfect time. But how would you feel if you were to be wake up on a normal day, like every other normal person, just to learn that all you had always wanted to have is now a subject of the past, and late Eighteen isn't as exciting as you had thought?

Ruth is yet another teen who believes the crowd is her place and the only thing holding her back is her age.

How would she survive through the disappointments, heartbreaks, mistakes, knowing that all she had always wanted to have had slipped past her fingers?
