3. Brush up on the history of girl culture. Serena Cole explores the history of what it means to be a girl.
4. Reread your old letters. Laura Schadler finds the connection between the stuff she loved at 14 and who she is now.
5. Ask a teenager what the whole thing is like now. Carrie Leilam Love goes on the ground and asks a real live teenager what is happening now.
