High school is a brutal place to be. The education we receive has less to do with academics and more to do with social survival, attitude, style, heartbreaks, jealousy, rejection, secrets, drama, raging hormones and most of all desperately trying to fit in. This mostly-80s Back-To-School themed playlist touches on these elements of teenage angst.
