I Do Not Ever Want to Grow Up

13

Written on February 9th, 2013
I am going to be thirteen in two weeks, which is actually kind of a big deal. I suddenly am a lot more grown up than I used to be, I mean two years ago I was 10, just a little kid and now I am practically a teenager. Its really weird and hard, because childhood is a beautiful thing. It is so innocent and real, kids feel everything but more than most people. I try to tell myself that adolescence will be good too, but I partly know it won't. Any comments? Anyone maybe whose already been a teenager or is one?

    I remember feeling the same when I was your age. I'm 36 now and can honestly tell you that being grown up is even more wonderful than being a child, and I had a very happy childhood. What you are feeling is SO normal. I think every adolescent feels that way, though not many will admit to it out loud.

    You are still very young and that is why adulthood feels scary - because you are not there yet. It will happen so gradually that you won't notice it.

    I wasted so much time when I was your age worrying about it and yet now find life is even better. So go and do something else rather than sitting there worrying!
