cheers to the teenage years.
When Cobain was a teenager he started to get into drugs and push himself farther away from his family. Cobain's life started to change after he started to listen to punk rock. Cobain began to hangout with a group of band members that his friend introduced him to. As high school progressed Cobain started to get more into drugs and drinking. Cobain got into a lot of fights with his mother, who was also drinking and he couldn't stand his step father. Cobain spent 1984 and 85 living in various places. He stayed with his friends when he could and sleeping in apartment building hallways and hospital waiting rooms when he didn't have any other place to crash. Cobain was taken to jail for spray painting a building in July 1985 with his friends, his friends got away but he didn't. Cobain was again in trouble with the law a year later when he was found wondering around a building drunk. Cobain started playing music with bassist Krist Novoselic who was two years older than him. They knew each other from Novoselic's younger brother Robert and from hanging around the Melvins. A local drummer names Aaron Burckhard soon joined in. their first gig was a house party in 1987. the same year, Cobain started going out with Tracy Marander, his first serious girl friend. They ended up moving in together in Olympia and even though they struggles financially, they seemed to enjoy they rock and roll lifestyle.
