The Edge of Seventeen Cast Shares "Awkward," "Scary," and "Miserable" Teenage Stories

"I'm trying to think of where I was physically, actually. I don't even remember. I was trying not to be awkward. That's for sure. I don't know, I think I was just masking everything I was feeling. This character feels a lot better than I was. Playing this character actually gave me the opportunity to be a teenager, to figure stuff out, and freak out."
