Why the hell do you want to stay as a kid? You can't buy alcohol, drive or legally copulate; and that's just the legal stuff. Looking back, I'm glad I'm not 16 anymore - compared to being 18 it truly sucks.
i just wanna be 16 forever, and that's nearly over too, few months i wanna be a kid again, well, 14 or 15.. x
Alot of people feel like this at first, its a natural thing to feel though. I mean people are naturally scared of change, and changes happen fast once you turn 16..... going to college, considering uni, getting a job, relationships. Its alot for someone to think about in one go so it does make you think of how easy and laidback life is before your 16.
But the flipside is there are positives to not being a kid anymore, More freedom to do what you want, brand new opportunitys such as college or the possibillity of travelling, the chance to go for the carrear you always wanted to do.
i'm the same! it gets really bad when i'm particularly stressed/down- i think it's a comfort thing. i want to stay 'little' because everything was easy then, and i always got looked after.
the only thing i can suggest is trying to embrace the fact that getting older is a good thing. you have a lot more oppurtunities, for one, and you can still act 'young' if you want to. i'm seventeen but sometimes i love nothing more than curling up on the sofa with my mum, a hot chocolate and an old disney film for old times sake. sounds a little odd, but nobody has to know.
& besides, age is a number not a rule. what's that cliche? 'you're only as old as you feel'. i think i'd have to agree.
^ So true! I'm 20 in a few months and while it's nice to be old enough to do certain things, sometimes I still miss being a kid- the workload compared to uni and primary school, the lack of guilt felt whiling a day away watching telly and eating sweets.. hey, even Christmas
I spent too much time trying to grow old quickly! You're only as old as you feel, so enjoying being young while it lasts! Life is way more chilled that way
Yup I'm scared of getting old as well I don't want to have to deal with things like careers, families, mortgages etc... I want to just stay a student forever
