See me

PART THREE


These teens have attitude ... but that's not bad.


They know who they are, and they're comfortable with that.

Photos by Jill Toyoshiba | Text by Laura Bauer

For the past school year, The Star talked to teens across the metro about how they feel people judge them. How do people really see them? And is that different from how they see themselves?

In the first installment, it was about physical appearance.

In the second installment, it was personal.

This time, it's all about attitude.

Writer Laura Bauer: These teens' lessons hit home
