4. Deciding what song lyric to put in your MSN bio was the hardest choice ever
5. Missing Tracy Beaker because you were at your swimming class and feeling like your life was over - BOG OFF
6. When someone guessed your Girl Tech password and all your secrets were revealed "I <3 Sam 4 evs xo"
7. Going on holiday and only being allowed to buy two presents for your friends so you had to choose between basically everyone in your year
8. And then you'd have to give them out in secret at school so no one else got mad that you didn't buy them a €1 bracelet
9. Not getting free makeup in your Girl Talk magazine and feeling like your chances of being grown up are being hindered - WHERE IS MY SPARKLY LIPGLOSS?!?!
10. Not knowing what song to bluetooth your friend - Crazy Frog or Who Let The Dogs Out, the struggle was real
11. When your mum wouldn't let you buy any more cargo trousers or sequined halter neck tops from Tammy Girl
12. Not getting a new phone but being given your parents old Nokia, but who cares, you can play snake
13. Running out of credit and not being able to text your crush back with another heart emoji - aka a potentially relationship crushing moment
14. Not knowing who you were as a person anymore because Girl Talk's friendship quiz made you out to be something that you were defs not

17. The heart stopping moment when the teacher caught you passing notes with your friends in class and read the notes aloud

23. When you had just applied your coolest hair tattoo and then the soul crushing moment happened when your mum told you it was time for a shower - "BUT MUM IT'S A GLITTER BUTTERFLY, I CAN'T WASH IT OFF YET"
24. Customising your fave pair of Matalan flared jeans with diamante stickers which would come off in the wash and your Matalan flares would look SO boring - thanks Mum
