At 17, I had already graduated HS, was working, ran away, came backhome and married. Just "normal" stuff.

I don't think Lifetime will show a movie titled Normal at 17.

When I was 17, I was trying to get up enough courage to ask Mary Jo Wagnor out.

Just some useless trivia. The Beatles song "I Saw Her Standing There", begins with "She was just seventeen, you know what I mean". These lyrics are meaningless. They couldn't find a word that rhymed with "seventeen". I heard this on the radio many years ago, and it has always "stuck with me"!

When I was 17 I graduated from HS and prepared over the summer for college. It was a very happy time in my life.

A bit off topic. The original lyrics by Paul McCartney were "She was just seventeen and then never a beauty queen." John Lennon changed the lyrics to "you know what I mean" to be more suggestive. The lyrics were definitely not meaningless. Everyone certainly did know what you mean, John. Both Paul and John have discussed this in many interviews.

Thanks for the update, I didn't hear this after hearing whoever say they couldn't find a word to rhyme with seventeen. Heck, at my age I'm luck to remember this! LOL.

Ha! It's funny you post this, because the day these movies aired I was thinking the same thing.
