When did I go from Teenager to Adult? Help!!

LOL you are right! especially when you are in your 20s...you dont know when you are a teenagers or adult, you tend to be stuck in that category. i'm a matured adult in work or when i'm outside...my in my family, i'm still considered as they teenagers..LOL

yah i know how you feel. i feel like i was in middle school or high school just yesterday, but im already 22 years old...and getting older by the day. its a weird feeling knowing that im an adult. right now im studying for my masters degree but ill be working by next year...and maybe starting a family in the next few years. im not sure i like the idea of getting older. it seems like ive been a teenager forever, and im not ready for that to change.

At 25, I had a mid-life crisis. I went from being my parents child to them living with me and me becoming the parent. It was aweful! I couldn't figure out where my early 20's went and was so stuck in the middle of this new life that was uncharted territory that I was angry and frustrated until I was about 29. The time does fly by quickly and I still some days can't believe that I've been out of high school over 25 yrs already. Seems like I blinked and boom it was gone.

When you are loaded with responsibilities, you just wish you were a kid again. I know lately I have been having those days!!! Uggh

yup even I have the same feeling.sometime back I was in school and right now i am in college about 4 months now and very soon goin to write my exam.just cant believe how fast time is passing.

i feel that way too. everything including time is going by so quickly. i'm in college now already a junior and i feel like i was a 16 year old a few months ago. it's crazy how time flies pretty soon i'm going to be out in the real world working and have a family. it's a weird thought.

I didn't really have that problem. When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to be an adult and was more than ready for it when it happened.

Yes!!! I know exactly what you mean. It seems like the day I graduated high school life went into fast forward! Would you like to be my friend? I am sending you a request. We are the same age. I am married and a mother also.

Hi! Oh, honey, I woke up at 43 feeling like that! haha It feels like just yesterday when I was in high school, then college, and living on my own and running my career. Now I'm married and have a 4 year old daughter. I'm really glad you realize at your young age how fast life goes. I think you will appreciate it more and get more out of it. Enjoy, sweetie, you have so much ahead of you! As they say, "Live, love, laugh." Best to you!

love the discussion as i too sometimes wonder where that time went. it was so fast and no me too im a mom and a wife. yes, hahah no , im in the same awww as you and think of all that i was doing at that age. but i am happy to be where i am and to have a wonderful family.

I am in the same boat . I'm 27 married and have 2 wonderful kids but I still wonder where all that time went. You will really wonder where it went when you get a notice that your graduating class is having there 10 year reunion. It just happened to me. I think it is very possible to have a mid life crisis at our age.

wait for sometime you know very soon.

Yes, I feel the same way! This year has especially went by so quick. Yes, you really appreciate every second thats true. Isn't it so funny sometimes the day seems so long but other days speed by. Its not that one day is longer because they are all twenty four hours. Christmas is almost here and I remember last christmas like it was yesterday. My birthday is even coming up again on Janurary first. Everyday is not promised to you so you should appreciate what you have becuase you never know when you won't get another day to live. I used to be in a rush to get older but now I don't want to get any older. I wish I was a little kid again. So live your life the best you can because it will sneak up on you it does for everyone really. Atleast everybody I know! lol

im stil 18:D.i am enjoyin every minute of it! i observe the transition and keep you updated! I have felt my self growing up lately! But i still do stupid stuff!!

I feel the same way. I look at things and think, dang, has it really been that long? Especially when you have kids, they are babies one minute, the next they are starting school. Time seems to go by so fast. Cherish every moment with your family:)

That's true! Time passes even quicker than we can imagine. It feels like it was only few days back when i was a child and rushing thorugh the school and college hours. There is no way to catch the time back!

wow that sounds scary noooooooo i don't want to be old...........

It is just because you are at happiest period of your life. When our days pass without any trouble/pain, we do not count. Only when we are in trouble/problems, we start counting "I am in trouble for so many days/months/years and so on" "when these all will end up" God may bless you happiness for ever. Trouble never comes to your/family life...... I wish!!! bye....be happy and keep happy your all friends.

The older you get, the faster the time flys. It stinks and you're right, "....if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.... What movie is that from? Anyone......? Anyone......? That is your hint.

It doesnt really matters that is a teenager or adult.
