Well, being 16 for me doesn't seem like THAT long ago, though then I realize that it kinda was... (I'll be 22 this year). I didn't really look that much different. My 5 year old brother had just died from drowning so turning 16 was kinda ruined for me - probably worst year of my life. -end depressive story-

1. What was your favorite band at 16? Backstreet Boys

2. Did you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? Nope.

3. What was the most important thing you owned? Not sure really... I didn't get my license until I was 17, and even so, I didn't own my car. Hmm... probably my laptop. Ha. Nerd alert.

4. What was your favorite thing to do for fun? Going to concerts. We pretty much followed the Backstreet Boys around, it was awesome, LOL.

5. Did you care more about appearance? No, not more than I do now.

6. Would you go back to being sixteen if you had the chance? God no.

1. What was your favorite band at 16? BLINK 182!!!

4. What was your favorite thing to do for fun? Hang out with friends. I was always with a LARGE grop of people, there was like 20 of us that hung out every day and night.

5. Did you care more about appearance? yes. Much more then now. I did my hair and make up daily, I worried about what i wore. Now a days (11 years later) I dont care as much. I try to look nice, But if I dont do my make up and hair that day, Ill still go out lol

6. Would you go back to being sixteen if you had the chance? Yes, honestly. there was no care in the world. We had so much fun, did so much, never worried about work, bills, savings, houses ect. we lived for the moment. I have 1000's of photos to remind myself, and to many memories to count. So Im good. Im glad Im at the age I am now. but it would be fun to go back once in a while.

16 wasn't really that long ago for me, like 6 months :P

1. What was your favorite band at 16? I didn't and don't have favorite bands. I like random songs, but I rarely like multiple songs from the same group. I'd probably say my favorite artist was Taylor Swift, or Usher.

2. Did you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? Nope, still don't, and I probably won't for quite some time

3. What was the most important thing you owned? I don't really own her, but most likely Suzie. She's the most important thing in my life.

4. What was your favorite thing to do for fun? Play frisbee with the 'big' kids.

5. Did you care more about appearance? No, I've started caring more how I look now then I did 6 months ago.

6. Would you go back to being sixteen if you had the chance? No, I'm ready to be out of high school and start to do the things I want to do, so no sense in going back in time.
