This is a small vintage 1972 paperback Illustrated children's book called I was a lonely teenager. The book was written by Carole Katchen who also did the pictures and illustrations. The book is broken up into four parts. The girl narrates this was me just a quiet unobtrusive high School junior kind of intellectual sort of clumsy and I had a problem. The author's note in the intro says the book is for girls who are or will be or have been teenagers. Along with the story are black and white illustrations to go with it. All the pages of the book are intact. The outside cover is slightly worn around the edges and corners
