Kids want to grow up and be adults, adults want to turn back time to be a kid again.

Some or most little kids want to be adults because they have that concept of wanting to have no school and to do grown up stuff (living alone and have the fun that children aren't supposed to have, whether it's go partying or going to Dave & Busters).
Then those same kids who wanted to be adults are now adolescents; some wants to behave impulsively and hates school entirely where they'll show their asses just so they can get kicked out of school, and then some adolescents found out that school needs to be completed and bare it.
Then they become juniors and seniors (sometimes sophomores) and they saw that they can do more with their life by going to college, whether it's technical college or not.
By the time they graduate high school, they're adults. They go off to college to become what they wanted to be.


Adults wants to be kids again because they'll have to rely on their parents for shelter, and plus, free rent. Some even want to go back that far to change the things or thing they did. They don't want any responsibilities.

I recall the time where I was 12 and wanted to be an adult so badly. I don't regret what I said. Some 19 year olds who aren't living alone yet, just need that push. We are ready, all we need is that push.
There's no point in lecturing us when we will know exactly what we need to do.

Dont be in a hurry to grow up or leave home etc . Its a crappy shitty world out there and believe me its no fun being grown up . Grown ups want to be kids again because they live in this crappy shitty world and realise they dont want to , it was easier as a kid not knowing and protected from the truth of the god awful world we live in .

@Rhode57 The thing is, I find being an adult the best option and solution to my problems. I grew up with insecurities. Even though I had some fond memories, I had always been depressed. I am already starting to lose all love that I have for my family, because none of them have made me over the top happy. Then again, had I always been happy? When I was 12, my mother fucked up my entire school life by telling the school that I was bringing a knife to school to kill my bullies. Yes, I told her that, but I never brought the knife. I changed my mind about that idea and my mom never checked me to see if I even had a knife in my bag before I got on the bus. Had to go to an alternative school afterwards and could never go back to regular school, even though I followed all the rules and behaved and stayed to myself like I always do. Freedom is all I want.
I'm not rushing to become an adult. Maybe that's because I'm already mature enough.

@Xalvadora Freedom is not its all cracked up to be . We are never truly free . If we were people wouldnt have to be careful of what they say or do for fear of being accused unfairly for their actions or speech .
