I Want To Grow Up

No, not because I have serious problems with my parents, but for the freedom, especially the fun that an adult can have. My family's get together night always ends up with me being super excited and hence not wanting the good time to stop. But the adults are always tired as well as sleepy at tight, they're holding me back from all the fun I'm immersing by using that adult's authority to control me. I have nothing against all those rules we all know so well that every parent would plan out for their kids. I just want to have fun whenever I want, in anyway I want, and I'd be able to do so if only I were an adult. To be honest, I can't wait to grow up so I can be responsible for whatever I do, have as much fun as I want without having anyone stopping me.

I think this is a little tongue in cheek but I'll respond as if it is completely serious.

You're right, being an adult rocks so hard I still pinch myself... but then I look at all the bills all that fun racks up and I remember the reality of the situation. The rules are to keep you safe (for the most part). A child willingness to have uncontrolled and reckless fun need the tempering of adult insight. Being financially, emotionally and physically responsible for your actions requires a break in period, if you are lucky enough to have the support system that can provide it for you.

That being said it is very typical for someone your age to wish for the freedom they want.

I actually am aware of the down sides of being an adult, but it's all worth it.

It is all worth it as long as you can mange and most people can. It sets someone up for the future if they can be give the proper tools and guidance. Becoming an adult too soon can suck.

@Halcyon: I'm not planning to become an adult just yet, being a kid has its own benefits lol
