HOW MANY DID YOU GET RIGHT?

● 0-5: PERFECTLY HEALTHY — We’re
guessing you are considered “legal” in the
eyes of the state (over 18). Or male. Or a
poor recluse teenage girl probably living
without electricity … or MTV.
● 6-10: FEVERISH — You might want to go to
the doctor … the teenage love doctor. You look a little
pink, but with a little medication (i.e. some of your dad’s
Creedence Clearwater CDs) you should be better in no time.
● 11-15: BEDREST, STAT — Not even a little more cow-
bell can save you from this fever. You’re probably sitting in
your room wearing your “I’m a Belieber” T-shirt monitor-
ing the activity on your BieberFever fan page and memo-
rizing dance steps from his “My World” tour via
bootleg YouTube videos. We’re afraid of the reac-
tion we’d get if we told you “Baby” likely wasn’t
written about you. So,
we won’t. Best of luck.
