Growing up is scary. It’s hard and confusing. People are figuring out themselves. Not all adults will understand it because they come from a different generations. They had different experiences and lives. We go threw new things and new situations all the time. Nobody deals with problems the same way.…
She never really grew up, she acts like a rebellious teenager, when she’s actually a grown woman in her 30’s…
Maturity may come at any age any time in a person's life. One moment he or she may be a carefree child, and then suddenly realize that they have been transformed into a mature adult by a powerful and traumatic experience, which they will remember their whole lives. After that, they were never same again. As a result, they rapidly matured into adults.…
Coming of age: Bobby style. What causes coming of age? How should an “adult” act? Does adulthood come with age or with the growth of one's mind. Who is really able to truthfully say that another person is an official adult.…
There are many ways in which the distinction between childhood and adulthood is “becoming blurred.”…
At a very young age, children dream of the day they will evolve into a fabled grown up. Our stupid, undeveloped brains knew that when we did, we would be able to decide for ourselves what to eat and when to go to bed. For many, the word “adult”, means a person who is completely mature, independent, and purposeful. While this may be true, the way to get to this stage of life is debatable. Some believe that adulthood can be defined as a specific age.…
Imagine the day when you realize how much responsibility you have and how powerful and impactful your decisions can be. The day you realize you're transitioning from childhood to adulthood. On this day, you are probably thinking to yourself; how did this happen so fast, can I handle all of this responsibility, what about if I make the wrong choice? All of these questions enter the mind of a young person who realizes the responsibility they now hold as a young adult.…
At one point in my life, before I entered into high school, I did not know the direction I was heading to. A time where, I felt, I did not have an exact purpose in life; where I did not care what could happen to me or anyone else. I did not try my best in anything, I gave up too fast at everything, I never tried to push through anything. My carelessness, at the time, did not do any good for me or my future. I struggled too much at the time and I did not try anything to push through in any way, shape, or form. During this time I reached one of the lowest points in my life where I never would want to end up again.…
There is more to life than just physically growing up; it’s about the experiences we gain from them and how we mature from these experiences. It makes us mature and has definitely taught me a thing or two and what I’ve learnt is, our lives are defined by our choices and the pathways we choose to take. They might be good or they might be bad.…
Becoming an adult means becoming many things. Adults have to make their own money, get a career, and do other activities that all seem pretty daunting to the average adolescent preparing to enter that stage of life. However, through maintaining a level head, active listening, and a pen and some paper, I realized many things about what it means to be a grown up and just how wrong I was all along.…
Before I begin, I want to mention that this speech contains terms and expressions that may be considered as harsh' or childish' by adults, because the whole concept of this speech can be uncomfortable for some, but hey, that's exactly what I'm standing up here for, therefore it would be best if you just learn to live with it so that this can be an informative speech for you, and an enjoyable one for me. Also, for the sake of saving time, I have made my opinions very general, and I am not really aiming these comments at every adult in the world. There are a lot of good people/teachers/adults out there, you know who you are!…
Voices shouted from the flat screen as my mother turned on her Thai shows, when I noticed I had to do my interview with my father Michael. It was late afternoon and there was no time left to do my interview except for then. My father is tall, mostly always wearing dress clothes. He was sitting at the table eating with his nice dress clothes. My interview was due the next day and I knew I had to do it now or never. I wasted no time and asked if that time was right. He agreed and we went into my room, me sitting on my bed and him laying. The fan was turned on high, so all you could hear was blowing. I caught his attention and started the interview while he was alerted.…
People never seem to quite understand the meaning of being an “adult”. I myself am not very sure of the full meaning of it. It has always seemed to me that age is irrelevant. You can be 12 and understand things better than a 30-year-old or you can be 40, have two PhD’s and still wonder if pigeons are migratory birds. Many people my age think that getting out of their parents’ house is an act of maturity but how does changing your situation prove that you are an “adult”? If they run away from home it is more likely to lose themselves trying to cope alone and underprepared with the difficulties in life. To become an adult you must achieve a separate identity. Still everyone perceives the world and every thought in it through their own consciousness.…
During your young adult years, you are just starting to experience the world as your own. This is the point in life when you do not have to listen to what anyone says, or do what other people tell you to do. You get to finally become independent and free. It is also a point in life when you have time to experiment, and try out all different types of things without making a permanent decision about it. The people who live in their young adult years are also starting to form relationships with people, and starting to form their lives to be the fullest they can be.…
All my childhood and adolescent years I had a yearning to grow up before my time. As a young child, I fantasized of all the “great things” that came along with being an adult. I mean, who wouldn’t love being able to make their own rules, never have to listen to anyone tell you what to do, and most of all a fairytale wedding with Mr. Perfect. Boy did I have this picture painted all wrong. My parents tried to warn me not to grow up so fast. They would always say “Enjoy these years while they last because you will never get them back.” If only I would’ve listened!…
