When Joanna was 15, she felt young people didn't get enough respect.

So she wrote a poem about it.

I hate the class teenager, which means so little, yet so much.

I am not a cow in a herd and refuse to be treated as such. Teenagers are not idiots who just want to play.

We are intelligent human beings, yet we earn low pay.

The classes we are divided into are only on the surface.

Skaters and rappers serve a defiant teen purpose.

Adults are classed as the achievers, the doers, while we are the fall of society, the rebel cows, the moors.

That's Joanne, reading a poem about ageism.

I'm Dan Meisner, and this, this, right now, is grown-ups read things they wrote as kids.

How are you doing tonight?

It's very, very nice to see you.

This is a show where we go back in time to remember the good, the bad, and the awkward parts of growing up.

This time recorded live at the Royal Cinema in Toronto.

We have a celebrity crush on a sitcom star, bailing friends out of jail,

true facts about parents, and much more. This stuff is weird, it is wonderful,

and it can help us understand who we are. So think about who you were, when you were a kid, and stick around. When Peggy was 13, she kept a diary, a private diary.

And there are two important things you need to know about Peggy at the time.

First, her family was moving back to Canada after living in Australia for several years.

And second, she had a really big crush on a celebrity.

July 8, 1997.

I haven't written for ages, but thanks to Rima, I am now the biggest friend's freak in the world.
