Do You Want to Grow Up Soon?

There are several children around the world wanted to grow up immediately. In this case children are getting mature and acting different according to their ages compared before. One of a kid I've known said that "Being kid takes too long! Adults can do whatever they like. They don't have to study or go to school. They can stay up late at night as they wish to watch their favorite show on television. So I can hardly wait until I'm grown up. Unfortunately,there's no end in sight in terms of being a kid. I need to do lots of home work and study all day long and lesser time to play with my friends. Meanwhile, they have to keep doing all the dull, pointless things my parents tell me to do. Life is so unfair". The statement I've heard from the kid snap out my memory recalling the things that I had thought when I was young.

I guess kids now wanted to grow up soon for them to do things that they wanted.They sometimes act and think older in their ages for them to say that they are old now for themselves. I think they better enjoy their being kids and don't take things so fast for them to avoid regret when they get old.They better enjoy their childhood life because being an adult is quite hard due to some factors and problems around to deal with.SO better enjoy each day and take one day at a time.

As a child I would always want to grow faster and do all the things that I was not able to do because of my tender age. Now I have attained much age but I want to become younger. The reason for wanting to grow up soon in childhood was not having the liberty to do things.

When I was a child I wanted to grow up quick also , I am happy to be adult now . I love my childhood and some time miss the innocent playing . I used to think just like you but now as adult I do have a lot of free time but I cant expect anyone to clean up mess I make , I have to do my own laundry , and cook if I feel hungry . Everything have its advantage and disadvantage, I think we all once think like that lol I dont want to go school , I wanted to just lay in bed I didn't see the point at that time

I don't want to grow up sooner than necessary, it is no fun to grow up as adult when i am not ready to take up responsibility and account for my own action. It is also tougher to become an adult as i need to work my own way up without much help from my wealthy parent until i bust my as* just manage to earn enough to pay for my living expenses, but i also have to worry about providing support to my sibling and family as i am expected to do so as an adult. The only joy from being an adult is that i can watch late night movie and Tv program and having the luxury to watch limited adult flick without the need to get permission from my parent, That is about all the benefit i got from being an adult. As a kid, I get to enjoy jumping into public pool and making all the splash without feeling guilty at all, fully aware that i will not be held responsible for my 'kiddy' action by adult, it is nice to be a kid again.

As a child I was always eager to grow up faster and do things that I was not able or allowed to do because of age. The sad fact is I was not able to grow up as faster as I wanted. As a child I would like to stay late nights, go out quite often, do all the crazy things but I was not at my liberty to do so. Now I have attained much age and I want to become yunger lol.

My daughter had the same idea before but when I explained to her the negative side of being an adult, she dropped the idea. What could be better than being given all the things we need in our everyday life? That when we need something, we will just have to ask, Mom I need this, I need that. I told her, enjoy while you are still young and while mom and dad is still here.

When I was young I always wanted to feel that I am still a kid but I can not because at my early age I need to work to help my family financially. Although I expreienced to play with my friends but with limited time due to my work as a garderner and vegestable vendor. Sometimes I wish that I experienced how to live like a normal kids who can play, study and watch tv as long as they want. I think you show enjoy your youth because lots of troubles, trials and challenge you will face when you grow up.

Personally I think the online community as a whole would probably take part in this error for a belief that a "Kid" is someone inferior. Somehow, I believe in this too. Some simply have not seen what happens when one's innocence has been removed. Being a Young Adult, I'm fairly sure it's difficult being an adult because not only are responsibilities dumped onto you as much as the amount of work you're given since going to college, but also what others expect of you.

Hi dear chrislavon,as a adult,I would like to say you just see the good side of been adult but you neglect side.Adult will face a lot of stuff and need to figure out by themselves,they have to raise themselves and working harder and harder,as for me,I under a great deal of pressure every day and do not have time and money for my leisure life.And I think the most important thing is,as adult you will find out that it is very hard to feel happy from your heart,yes there are many entertainment in our life but it is very hard to receive the truely happy from them. So as for me,if I can choose,I really would like to be a kid forever.
