The Worst Thing in the World; Growing Up
The worst thing in the world…

Can you remember when you were just a 5 or 6-year-old kid? When you had nothing to worry about but the size of you pack of crayons? Life was so easy back then. We could play outside all day long, have fun with our friends, watch TV, play videogames and so on.

As little kids we always wanted to be older, we wanted to grow up and do grown up things. We spent our whole childhood imagining what it would be like if we were older and grown up. Now here we are, almost grown up…. and I can tell you, its not as fun as I thought it was going to be. Sometimes I wish I had never grown up. It is just too sudden. Sometimes I still wish I was a little kid and not a teenager.

I think growing up is the worst thing in the world.

Growing up means we have to become responsible, mommy and daddy won’t be doing everything anymore. Life is now full of responsibilities; homework, grades, good behaviour, helping your parents, chores and being a good teenager of course.

When our parents told and warned us about the big, scary and cruel world we didn’t get it, so we didn’t care. But now we know that the world we knew has changed and became colder. It lost its innocence and it’s not just our playground anymore. And as soon as you grow up people around you tend to change too. Not everyone is your best friend anymore. You find out what fake friends are and you realize that real friends are hard to find.

But do you still remember when those silly cartoons were the funniest thing ever, when it was so hard core when u stayed up passed 9 o’clock and when the hardest decision you had to make was what ice cream flavour you wanted for dessert. Those are one of the best memories. Even though we will never experience them anymore, we will never forget them. We could watch the same cartoons, but we will never enjoy them that much anymore. We could easily stay up till 9 but sometimes we wish we could go to bed earlier, because we are so tired. Deciding

    Growing up can be challenging even with the ideal surroundings. Your teen years are even more puzzling because you seem to be stuck in between being a child and an adult. Throw in not having a father or mother around and life gets difficult. The year 2001 was a difficult year for my family and the nation. My life growing up wasn’t picture perfect, but in one very long month I learned that kindness from those around will help you endure and survive.…

    When I think about that statement one moment stands out to me automatically. The summer I had to leave all I knew behind. I was in second grade. My parents sat me down, they told me we were moving. As a coach's kid, moving is a part of our nature. My heart broke when my parents told me. My family, friends, and life were here. How was I supposed to leave? I was too young to know the feeling of leaving. This moment in my life, I was changed forever. This moment, I had to grow up. I had to present myself strong, to my family and my new town. Coming to a new school was obviously a hard adjustment. Thankfully, being young girls are not as rude. Being young you should never be comfortable with leaving. But, there I was, a 8 year old girl, adjusting to a move that was never expected. When you are a 8 year old girl, you should never be starting over your life. “Hi, my name is Hannah Morrison. I am new…

    So I began to imagine what the world should be like instead of the nightmare it actually was. It was meant to be a place where strangers were met with a smile, not a snarky comment on the way their hair was combed. A place where boys and girls could be interested in the things that made them smile not what was deemed appropriate for their gender, or where the solution to all of life’s problems could be some with some quick thinking and a montage or two. The reality of course being that this just was not the case and that in order to get over things, I had to understand that things were not as innocent as I had hoped they would be and that the hardest problems would end in tears. Kindness was seen as a trick to get me to lower my guard, and all victories were just a pause in the endless failures that were about to take…

    We all can't wait to grow up when we're young. The world is filled with all this possibility and wonder. I've been told ever since I was little that the world is my oyster; in other words, the world was completely opened to me and I could be anything I put my mind to. So I just couldn't wait to grow up. Being an adult seemed awesome and I wanted to skip over the kid stage and get to my life, start living and taking care of myself. I thought I knew it all and I was ready to prove it. I had this idea, this grand picture that I had painted in my mind of life and how it should turn out. I thought I knew it all, until the day that suddenly I didn't. They tell you to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Life decided it was…

    When I was a kid life was so much fun but still all I wanted was to be an adult. I was always fascinated by all the great and interesting things that adults were able to do. Every year that passed I was grew more excited because I was getting closer to being an adult. Now that I am an adult I wish I could be a kid again. Its quite amazing how fast your opinion can change. All the activities that I can do now do not compare to even one day as being a child. On the other hand I still enjoy being an adult and I still have a lot to experience. My life as a child and as an adult is vastly different but still is similar in small ways.…

    What does coming of age mean? Coming of age into a young adult means you’ll have to become more independent, mature, and have more responsibilities.

    Dealing with Loneliness

    I never had many friends. I was always the loner kid, sitting in the corner, not talking or even looking at anyone, you know? The one with the glasses, the braces, the ‘uncool’ shoes; the classic victim. For as long as I could remember I’d been picked on. Whether it was someone thieving my books, or pushing me over ‘by accident’, there was always something. The awful thing was, nobody seemed to care. The teachers chose not to see it, and my parents just told me to deal with it; “just ignore them” was one of their favourite lines.…

They might be good or they might be bad.…

    What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job? How is it that we can do those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done?…
