Back in the old days, most of us never had to worry about anything. We were childish, youngsters, and carefree. we dont carry a cartload of responsibilities as much as adults. And, we like that? dont we? we didnt have to wash dishes, vacuum the carpet, and help around the house much or at least, we didnt had it hard. remember, we were amaze of pets running around your house, cool pets in the car passing by you? And ... perhaps, our funny spiders experiences? Oh man, we never had to care about looking "pretty", "cute", and "good-looking". We were already cute. We dont have to shop for acne products, new fashions, styles, and shampoos. We didnt care much about it. It didnt bother us until now, puberty changes conflict our lives. Nowadays, we spend time being more responsible and mature around the house. we no longer expert at seeing and believing miracles. we left childhood ... a while ago.
![]() Open your eyes now, you're an old hag. Do well in school; get into whatever college and graduate. If you can do well during these years, you will most likely have a better child. You will treat them a good childhood years without having to worry too much about paying bills, over working, and money. What a child need … is you. ![]() Do you like being a child or adult/teenagers? What was your experience in life? what was so great about it? Why is one better than the other? haha, i'm so random ;] |

You know, the shift between graduating high school and moving out of my mom's house was pretty tough for me. I'm not even paying rent or utilities, and still what I do have to pay for gets pretty overwhelming. I've learned a lot though. I've learned that when you work for people, at least in retail, they pretend to have your best interests in mind, but in all reality they only want you to make them money. I've found out that $7.25 an hour, 40 hours a week, is barely enough to pay for car loan+insurance+gas, and god forbid that one would try to make a living off of that amount. What does that say about our minimum wage? And as an adult, you can't rely on your parents to take the fall for something you mess up, you're held accountable for your own actions. That's a nice thought, eh? Of course there are benefits, but growing up is probably one of the biggest obstacles we have to overcome.
