UPDATE!!!
You are a teen in the late 90's. Somewhere between 13 and 15. You are being taken from your home and told you can only bring what fits in your back pack.
Feel free to throw in some mysterious items!
This is a very important question friends. I NEED YOUR HELP!
(You guys are awesome by the way...thanks for your help!)

Ummm....
Mobile
Ciggies
Lighter
Booze (20/20 or thunderbirds!!)
Favourite bag
Wallet
... I think thats it. Im thinking when I was 16ish.... not 13ish.... :)
It depends why I"m leaving and how long I'm leaving for... is this like, "OH MY GOSH, HURRICANE COMING, GRAB YOUR MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS AND GET THE HECK OUT OF DODGE"?
If so, here is my list... as a teenagerish girl TODAY (not when I was a teenager...)
1.) Purse
2.) MP3 player
3.) CellPhone
4.) A bag full of fav. shoes
5.) A bag full of fav. clothes
6.) Jewelry box (with all jewelry in it)
7.) Makeup
8.) Hair brush
9.) Diary
10.)Laptop
Okay, if the "bag full" doesn't count... then just favorite pair of shoes and ditch the diary and do favorite pants and favorite shirt instead.
If I were a teenager today???
1) Laptop
2) Camera
3) Cell phone with charger
4) Money
5) Makeup
6) Hairbrush/toiletries
7) Clothing
As a teenager when I was one, all of the above, except the laptop and cellphone. They weren't in existence back then.
That's tough! I'm not sure at all. Why the random question?? I'm curious. Book research?
Does the Lord of the Rings Trilogy count as one item or three??
Oh, do I flashback to when I actually was a teenager, or pretend I'm one now? Let's go with now . . .
Cell Phone
Laptop
Charger x 2
ATM Card
Clothes
MP3 Player
Favorite Book
Sorry, couldn't come up with ten.
S
This is tough. What age? And am I leaving then (before computers, iPods, etc) or am I leaving now, but as a teen?
Did that make any sense? LOL
I know money and my Bible would be on the list. Clothes. If my situation was really bad, I might take my parent's car to a bus station or something.
some clothes, my journal, a few photos, and my 'lovey'...and sunglasses, maybe a book or two...oh and a pen to write in my journal of course!
Late 90s huh?
1) Interac/bank card
2) Cell phone
3) Address book
4) Diskman
5) Journal
6) Pink leather jacket
Male or Female??
Female ... Loving all your suggestions by the way!
Okay, obviously she's not being kidnapped . . .
1) Pocketknife (you said she's not girly)
2) Cell Phone
3) Black Leather Journal (again, not girly)
4) Pen
5) Flashlight
6) Granola Bars
7) Twine (you just never know, she might have watched MacGyver)
8) ATM Card
9) Duct Tape (sorry, not girly kinda stuck (ooooh, get it) with me)
10) Clothes
Hey, do we get credit when you incorporate our genius suggestions into your WiP???
1 journal/notebook & pen (it's a set)
2 photo of those important to me, or photo album
3 the baby blanket my Mom made me
4 music/portable radio with headphones
5 money
6 trinket/jewelry piece that was my great-grandparent's
7 clothes
8 deoderant
9 hair stuff (ponytailer/brush)
10 makeup

toothbrush
toothpaste
deodorant
Cash, including quarters for the pay phone (what 14-year-old in the 90's had a bank card, or a cell phone?)
Make-up
Clean clothes
Photo album with pictures of family and friends
Snacks for later
That's pretty practical. Way to go with your progress!
13 - 15 in the 90's. Hmmm... I guess black eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, CDs: Candlebox, Nirvana, and Paula Abdul (Spellbound album), CD Walkman (utilitarian yellow), money, big 'ol Motorola 550 phone, PAGER!!!, extra jeans, Teen Spirit gel deodorant, Exclamation! perfume, extra flannel shirt, a Harry Potter book, and a Nintendo Game Boy with Super Mario Bros.
Does that help?
hhs
Ok was Harry Potter actually out in 1999?
I love all the music selections. Oh and the yellow disc/walkman! YESSS...
You guys are awesome. Keep the answers coming! Maybe one day you'll see why I asked ;)
Yes - Book 1 (Sorceror's Stone) was released Sept 1, 1998. Book 2 (Chamber of Secrets) was June 2, 1999.

I gave you an award! :-)
Nineties...hmm, I just don't know. I would've been in my teens but I'm not sure what I would've taken.
FAVORITE STUFFED ANIMAL(S). How is it possible that CMOM is the only other person who mentioned a comfort item (baby blanket)? Hell, if there was a fire NOW, my doggy would be next on the list after my daughter, husband, and the family photos, and I'm 36.
