Getting adolescence nutrition right

Who remembers what it was like being a teenager? All is well with the world then out of the blue, the raging hormone monster visits and with it comes polar opposite moods and emotions, and an enormous appetite. Some parts get bigger and then hairs start sprouting everywhere. I recall being unsure of my place because I was not a child anymore and I was not really an adult either.
