Teenage Wasteland: LIFE Magazine Pictures of Young Japanese Rebels, 1964. “Happy families are all alike,” Tolstoy famously wrote, “but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Few have ever questioned the validity of Tolstoy’ assertion — but the opposite might well be said of those most volatile family members: teenagers. Every happy teen, after all, is happy in his or her own way; but unhappy teens are all alike.

I don’t think I talked about it with any of my friends until much later, like it was some sort of special secret that I should keep to myself. Over the years, Weetzie fans have paid tribute to her in their own special ways. Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?
