“In fairness, though, no child likes to have his life rearranged from one school year to the next. Change is difficult for anyone, but even more so for an insecure adolescent. At that age, most kids are embarrassed just to be alive. With emotional antennae raised, they are acutely aware of their social standing at all times. Like an air traffic controller monitoring blips on a screen, a teenager is constantly tracking his small place in a big world, asking himself:
Am I accepted by my peers?
Do they like me?

How's my hair?
Will I be popular?”
― Jeff Kinley

“Any sharp glance at them often bounced off from a hard, reflective surface. It was not the appearance that needed to be evaluated but how they cornered the market.

They were the suns around which lesser satellites revolved, dispensing their light and warmth to all suppliants, yet not seeking praise for this. It was enough to shine and be appreciated for that alone. (Chapter 1)”
― Martyn X Brown, The Golden Girl
