At Seventeen

I heard this song on the radio in the car this morning driving to work.  It was the first time I had really listened to it in years.  It’s a great song.  One of the best ever written about High School.  Especially for those of us who never really felt like we fit in in High School which- truth be told- is probably just about everyone.  Seventeen is such an insecure age.  If you felt like you really belonged in High School, you probably did–and had a rough time real the Real Life that followed! I can give examples, if pressed….It’s also, a good song for parents to keep in mind.  Janis Ian is a true poet…
