Rant: Growing Up

I remember when I was a kid I couldn't wait to grow up. I thought when I was a teenager, people would treat me differently. See kids, all that happens when you grow up is everyone suddenly thinks it's okay to subject you to torture daily just because it's our "responsibility". I did not sign up for this world!  Kids who are in a rush to grow up and be teens, please my sake, enjoy your childhood while it lasts. It only goes downhill from here. Here's a glimpse of the exciting life of a teenager: acne, drama, tests, homework, and a later bedtime! Isn't that just what you've always dreamed of? I remember being a kid and thinking staying up all night made you cool. Now I just sleep early because I'm tired of life and sleep helps me run away from my problems (not recommended). So children, respect your elders because they are literally dying inside.

PS: I haven't been in the greatest of moods latley, so I'm sorry if this is depressing!

    I personally like being older. I know that this relates to practically no one, but for the majority of my life, I've lived with three adults and no one else. (HUGE age gap between me and my big sister) With them being responsible and mature, I was usually excluded (unintentionally, of course) from many conversations and activities. Now that I'm older and can understand and relate to actual topics, I feel that I fit into my family a lot more. I also went to private school where there were literally 9 girls in my grade. As being friends with boys was NOT an option at the time, I took what I got, lol. (NO OFFENCE, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FRIENDS! I LOVE YOU!) The first day of 6th grade was literally torture for me. Everyone had gone to one of three elementary schools and I knew NO ONE in the room. The only person that I DID know was a a boy and he was in magnet. Three years later and I have AMAZING middle school friends (A LOT more options haha) as well as my old friends. I'm having more fun now than I EVER have had before! Yay for days!

      And I am happy to be one of those friends!!! This blog is from my perspective as the older one who is being pressured by the entire family (uncles, aunts, cousins). Sorry you couldn't relate to it as much!

      I had the same situation as you, except I think I one upped you. First day of Portola was ~6 weeks in and I knew no one. The closest person I knew was Eva, and I only knew her through preschool.

    I agree with you, Kayla. The tricky thing about our age is that we're treated like children but expected to act like adults. Sometimes, this does put pressure on teens, which is how I understand most of us feel. As you said, we are given too much responsibility, but in addition, we are not given enough respect.
