be able to do whatever I wanted, without having to answer to my parents. I thought that once I was older, I wouldn't be able to get in trouble. Now, I'm 15 and I want to be young again so badly. When I was little, I didn't have to worry about anything other than eating my vegetables and who's turn it was on the swing. My parents took care of me and loved me. Growing up is a rip off. My parents want me get good grades and make responsible decisions. My friends want me to be fun and show them a good time. Boys want me to be skinny and beautiful. My classmates want me to be nice to everyone and always happy. My teachers want me to work hard, be on time and always have my homework done. None of them understand that it isn't that easy. I wish I could get perfect grades and never make mistakes, but I can't. I wish I could always be fun and crazy, but I can't. I wish I had a perfect body and I was gorgeous but I'm not. I wish I could always be nice and happy, but I can't. I wish I could always work hard and get there on time and finish all my homework, but I can't.Adults think growing up is the easiest thing because I have food and shelter, but it's not. I wish I could tell someone how I really feel, but I can't.
