I never want to grow up!!

Blame nature. It's an asshole.

 

It will be good for society when you get older. The young people who know being an adult sucks are usually really smart.

 

Well I love being childish and stuff. I don't want to grow up either. I'm a Little so at times I act like a 5 year old and it's very therapeutic for me. Being a young adult sucks XD

 

Well hey being grown up isn't all bad, for example I went to Jason's Deli yesterday when it was dead and ate half my weight in ice cream in a lonesome corner, and also stole some eggs from the salad bar to eat with my pasta. You think I could have done this when my parents were around? No ma'am!!!

 

I hated being a child. Nobody trust in you and everybody always says "You cannot understand" when I understood quite all.

*ADHD here*

 

Yeah, me too. But adulthood can bring with it responsibilities you don't feel ready for. I wouldn't choose to go back to being a child, but adulthood isn't all that great either sometimes.

 

I don't want to be an adult or a kid xD maybe an adult toddler cx

 

I still play retro games which I got when I was young! being an adult can suck :c

 

Trust me, adults don't understand everything either. They just pretend they do, and hope it works out.

 

Here's the thing about getting older. You can't stop the inevitable accumulation of responsibility and expectations, just for being a particular age. However, you can control how it influences your mood, and how you will be. You don't have to become some angry or insensitive person, just because you're now a legal adult. You can maintain that youthful spirit and energetic vigor, all the way until your final moments.

At your age, I wasn't too fond of becoming a legal adult. Having grown up as I did, I saw and witnessed some things that, to me, told me, adulthood isn't this ideal transition. I can say proudly say though, that since becoming a legal adult, I have been wrong about a few things in regards to it. Yes, it has moments where it totally sucks, and yes, it has times where I just want to pull my hair out, but I also wanted to do this as a kid -- just for different reasons.

At the end of the day, how you act is up to you. Your age, at best, is just a percentage of how far along you've lived.

Enjoy your youth, but remember this. The more you worry about getting older now, the more time you waste now. You want to live and love your childhood, and get the most out of it, because pining over what-ifs and regrets, are not something easy to discard later on.

 

I hate being an adult too, so much gross body hair.

 

I'm torn between wanting to grow up and never growing up, honestly.

I'm a child, too. I can be lazy, dependent, selfish, whiny, and a huge asshole, and people will blame it on my immaturity or accept it as part of my childhood.

But, as a child, I can't do the things I want. I can't live alone (BILLS?! SECURITY?! LAUNDRY?! COOKING?!). I can't get a job to support myself (not now, anyway). I can't transition (isn't there a shit load of paperwork involved? and a shit load of money, too). I can't buy the things I want (using my parents' money is out of the question). And so on.

Thinking about life beyond university (and beyond highschool) is stressful, to say the least. I am not ready for bills, debt, loans, and possibly minimum wage or workplace discrimination, but adulthood seems to be approaching so quickly. Each day goes so fast, and I just feel overwhelmed.

I'm not sure why I just can't enjoy my childhood. At this rate, I hope I get into detention at least once in highschool, because I either take school too seriously or not seriously enough.

...

I hope I didn't stress anyone out. >>;

 

Adults aren't (always) boring to each other. People's interests change, that isn't a bad thing.

 

Being an adult dosent mean u have to grow up
I'm a child like 80% of the time anyway lol

 

I used to be the same way, and to a certain extent still am - but I enjoy having financial independence, and the ability to go where I want, when I want, without constrictions or someone telling me no. I pay bills, I pay rent, but that doesn't mean that I've turned into a 'boring adult' - I go out, I travel, I buy things, I go to festivals - all with my own money, on my terms.

In retrospect, being a child was pretty boring, now that I'm 18. I enjoy drinking, and sex - I couldn't do either when I was 10 (well, I could have - but that'd be fucked up).

Personally, I'm looking forward to my 20s. Another new decade - kind of scary, but at the same time, exciting.

 

Growing up does mean more responsibility, but it also means more freedom, too. You kind of have to trade one for the other, and it doesn't happen all at once, it's a process. As you mature you'll become more capable of handling complications and challenges in life. While they might seem tough or boring at first you'll also learn that you get a sense of accomplishment and pride for work well done. The older you get the more control you'll have over your own life, as well, and I think when you start experiencing that you'll feel better about getting older.

Growing up also doesn't mean you have to change who you are or be "boring." I still have totally "childish" interests and enjoy doing stuff like watching cartoons and tromping through the woods just like I did when I was a kid. You can find people who are like minded at any age.

 

I hated being a child too as well. I couldn't wait to grow up and leave my stressful life at my parents house. :smilewave

The best part of growing up, for me, was leaving home and being able to do what I wanted whenever I wanted. Being able to socialise more often, and have experiences with other girls is something which I just couldn't of done at home.
