if you were given a chance to stop growing, at what age group would you like to be in?
for me, i would like to be in a toddlers group because i wanted to be babied by my parents for life. haha.. you dont have to care spending for your own food, shelther, clothing and anything else because it is your parents who's responsible for those. i can play and live happily.
how about you? at what age would you like to stop from growing?

For me the best age was when I was 7, so I'd stop there.
All the cute glittery pink stuff, cute clothes, and believing you're so grown up.
In your own happy world with Disney and other things... (well, nowadays its Kimpossible and Spy Academy or whatever )
Learning is fun, and there aren't tests every day like at ages 11-16, and you don't have the stress of being a university student.
You have a certain level of awareness, but you are content because you don't know so much about bad things... =]]
I LOVED BEING 7 lol
-kid at heart-
I recently found some "barbie perfumes" from when I was younger AND THE SMELLS BROUGHT ME BACK! =]
Hehe.... -smells like a little girl again-

i guess most of us would choose to stop growing at the toddler age since this is the most enjoying stage and you don't have any problems yet by this age.
but i would like to stop growing at age 23 (that's my current age) since this is the peak age for me and i have a stable job now.

Well, I am completely opposite from you in this one. I can't remember ever wanting to anything but grown up and out from my parents wing. Along with having someone provide all your needs for you comes the price of your freedom of choice....I always wanted my freedom and for that you have to work and be responsible for yourself. I moved out as soon as I turned 18 and with all the ups and downs and lessons learned as well as the fun times....I would not want to even pause at any one spot. I like the growing and changes in my life. I guess I would want to stop when I am too old and creeky to get out of bed and live.

No...it is not a ruling here in the united states. It is a matter of choice. My neice is 19 and still lives at home. She does not want to work and wants mom and dad to take care of her like a child. Jobs are scarce here too and do not often pay enough to make it easy for young people to move out on their own. My 21 year old lives with me because her work does not pay enough for her to live on her own. she'd have to have a room mate and I guess that I am her room mate for now. She does work each day and just recently took on a 2nd job. She does pay me rent and she is otherwise very independent. She does not rely on me to "take care of her" in other words. Even my 14 year old is looking for some work for the summer to earn money.

oh alright.. i though it is a ruling there so that at an early age you get to learn how to be independent in life...
yes i have heard that some take two jobs to have an earning because i know some of my relatives friends having 2 jobs..
well the great thing you have in your country is that you have a lot of good benefits to receive.. here? nah.. we dont get any of those.. haha!

that is the ruling in other countries right? that as you reach the age 18, you must move out and work for a living.. you have to learn to support yourself.. here in the philippines even on our 20's, we still live in our parents home.. at least in other countries there are job oppurtinities that easily hires people for work that really pays.. here, it is hard to look for a job with satisfying salaries..

My current age 20, I feel really great and healthy and as of now... I am not using/spending my own money yet since I am still in school.
Well actually, I am feeling a bit old because of that... by this age I already want to work and have my own life. What I mean is... I feel old because I haven't done anything significant for my life yet.

age 20 is too early to be able to achieve something. you have to learn alot in this age in many ways.. you cant expect yourself to be that stable already... dont feel old yet. haha.. you are still young.. it is me who is feeling old because im turning on my 24th year. haha!

I awlays think childhood is the best age to stop growing as you said you dont have to provide certian things. Now i think i would stop growing in the twenties about 21- 25. I think it is a good place to be.

i would like to stop growing at the age of 16. It is so lovely to be at the age 16 always. At this age, you have the wonderful world of friends, school, boys, gimiks, and have no worries about life and or what it brings.
All you can care about is your studies, what movies you will watch with your friends...

the age of transformation. hehe.. from child to young adult..

I'd choose to be an adolescent forever, around 12-15. I am the eldest grandchild but considered as the younger child by my grandparents so I was pampered a lot. At that age, despite not having my parents by my side, I was shown how lucky I am having my grandparents, uncles and aunties beside me and help me understand the changes I was going through. At this age, puberty was easily undestood because I was not pushed hard to mature, instead, they let me take my own time in transforming from a child to a little adult. I was given responsibilities at home but they are all kind to me so I enjoyed almost every little thing they taught me. For me, this stage is funnier that the toddler years because I can have a full grasp of what was happening around me already.

I would definately want to stop in my twenties. This is the age of true freedom. For me it signifies independence. One thing though, I wouldnt mind still being pampered by my parents at this age but I guess I cant have it both ways.(lol)

I would choose my high school and college stages. I had so much fun in school, free spirited and shielded from problems of the real world. I had simple worries in life--pimples, grades, projects, boys, and some insignificant things. I have family and friends who aided me to get through everything smoothly and easily. I committed mistakes yet be able to stand up without deep bruised. A life I would say a fantasy one.

i hated my college days because i never got to feel i became independent because i still had a nanny with me as i lived in my dormitory! argh.. haha.

My favorite stage in life is during highschool. For me that is the best ! most of my friends now are still from highschool. My experiences during highschool were better than in college. BEcause for me being in highschool, you are somewhat in the middle of the pack . You get to try things,meet other people,the pressure is not that high. Personally highschool camaraderie is the greatest.

i guess i would put a period after 4-5 years. those days were simply perfect, all what you had got to plan for was how to convince your parents to allow you to play all day!..hahaha

If I am given the chance to stop growing I would prefer teenager age, say between 20 - 25. At that age everything was free and easy.
At that age I was in the University and everything was so relaxing without the control of parents, many girlfriends around, partying all night long during the weekend and never run out of money because my parents always sent me enough pocket money as well as from my scholarship. The only problem were have to attend lecture, doing assignments, project papers and exam. So, I want to be young and free again.

haha.. so you are party person and loves girls. haha. college days for me were not as relaxing as i thought i should be. as a matter of fact, i thought of it as a harder part of growing up because you really have to choose the course that you are really interested in..
