When I was small, at the time I aged 5 or 6 years old, I wished I could grow up faster to be an adult. I did not like to study, I wanted to work like my parents. They did not need to worry about exams, results and no need to revise studies. I felt it was great to be an adult. Now I have grown up and started to work. I found there was no fun being an adult. An adult needs to face lots of problems in life. All sorts of stresses. Now I wish I can be a kid again. How about you? Did you ever wish to be an adult when you were small? Please share your comments,have a nice day. Thanks.

when i was in grade school, I wished to be an adult, so I can do whatever I want... I made plans on what i will do when that wish comes true and mind you, that was a very long list...But mostly, i want great things to happen to me.. But, of course, that was only a wish and one that i was glad not to be granted right away..Because, i have learned through the years as i was growing up to become a certified adult, that there are some things that you can't hurry..Some things must be experienced and lived and stages in life wherein a person must really go through... happiness, pain, sorrow, sadness and a lot more,that one has to learn how to deal with in order to make us better persons someday...

Oh yeah, I definitely wanted to grow up. Even a freshmen in high school "I can't wait to be 16, I can work and drive". Now I'm almost 18 and I'm in a serious relationship, no job, no money, planning on moving out by may, have no time for friends, it's just way too much. I wish I was a kid again.

yes, when i was young i also wanted to grow up faster so that i can live my life alone without my parents. i hate waking up early and go to school, i hate my doing assignments and i hate cleaning the house every saturday. Now that i've grow up, i worry a lot. about economic status of our country, politics, work, etc ,etc. i wanted to go back to my childhood. being carefree, and my only worries is what will we play with my friends this afternoon, what will i buy for this money that i have.

Hey yenwie, I think when we are little kids that we all wish we were grownups because we don't like adults telling us what to do. We think it would be so much fun to be grownup. I remember my parents telling me something along the lines of "be careful what you wish for". And unfortunately, they were right. Now that we are adults we wish that we were kids again so we wouldn't have to deal with all the stressful things that adults have to deal with. And the worst thing of all is that we still have to take orders from other adults!
