In all seriousness, can someone please tell me what's so great about being a child? I mean I get it: Life sucks, yotta yotta. It's hard, and in order to survive, you have to work your ass off; I'm not naive, I get it. However, being a kid sucks. I'm only a teenager, and every time I tell an adult I wish to be older, they think I'm stupid for wishing that--that I'm wising my life away. But what I don't get is why people love being a kid so much? I assume they like the whole no responsibilities, no cares in the world, but it sucks being a kid: No freedom, no independence, no "life." You're constantly being told what to do, and you're not really involved with the world around you. All being a kid is watching movies, eating, and going to school. Sure, it sounds great, in theory, but after awhile, you would want to experience the "real world." I mean surely I can't be the only one who feels this way? I don't know; perhaps I'm just weird like that haha.

You can't hold on to your childhood forever... Childhood is for gradually taking control of your life, and being a man (or woman) sooner or later you have to experience the world first person.

hahahah, that was quite a speech thurrr, mister. (; but no, i gotchuuu. but i think you should enjoy what you have while you have it. i mean, how do you really know what's better? adults have way more responsibilties, and sure, we have TONS of stress from.. well everrrrything, but we gotta try to make it some of the best years of your life too. you can only do so many things when you're young/old. &i don't know about you, but being a liiitlle kid was pretty great. you didn't have to worry about much. this is still the real world. we're not living in a dream, &if we choose to take part in it.. we can. but just don't waste that time away, 'cause one day you might wannna go back. most teenagers are liiike bipolar with emotions.. like i could be in the best mood ever &it comes crashing down in seconds. but live for the moments that make you happpy. (: just sayin'. quite a speech myself. (;
