young and sweet only 17

As you are growing, try to work on your weaknesses. Make yourself strong for the world and it's challenges.

[i]“Whatever you think that you will be. if you think yourself weak, weak you will be; if you think yourself strong, strong you will be”[/i] - Swami Vivekananda

{@deathwish] i can understand how you feel but nothing to be scared of really . yes there will be good and bad times of course but with age comes experience to deal with things

Me too

You can be
Growing old is required
Growing up is optional
Youll have bills sure but stay being a kid
Always stay curious and never stop learning

Take 17 with you. Keep enjoying the same stuff you always have. And give the finger to anybody that says you need to grow up.

I love your post. I wanna be a kid for life

I agree. Hold on to youth. Age takes it away

I was the same when I was your age. I still don't like seeing myself grow up, it's not who I am. I'm young at heart.

Is that a line from Dancing Queen?

Anyway, you don't lose who you are, you just pay more bills.
