I hoped by now I'd be able to ride a bike. That's done but I also thought I'd be ready to be an adult, which I'm not yet

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I thought I would be one of those amazingly cool, good-looking teenagers that you see in films and on tv. Instead, I'm a socially awkward, liked-but-not-popular, geeky, plain teenager. I'm hoping puberty will be nice to me, and reward me later.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

the strangest thing was, I had a vision of myself being pretty, laughing, surrounded by friends, being kind and charming to everyone, and looking completely different than I did now. The wierd part is that there's a girl in my school who I realized a while ago is the SPITTING IMAGE of what I wanted to be. Like, she even looks the same. And she acts the same. It's crazy.

I bet your jealous of her.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

well, kind of. I would hate her if I didn't love her, but we're friends now. Also, I'm happy with who I've become in any case. I think I've turned into a different, more interesting and sarcastic person.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Well that's good then (: If someone turned into who I had dreamt of becoming, I'd be a bit disappointed in myself. But, it's good to know you two are friends. Also that you're happy with what you've turned out to become. It's not like anyone can change what they're meant to become.

This is actually completely wrong. I know exactly how I thought I would be. Well I know how I thought I wouldn't be. As a second grader, I never thought I would be mean. I always thought I would try to help out the weird kids. Now I just help pick on them. I'm a bully. I'm the exact kind of person that used to torment me. I'm even terrible to the people I consider to be my friends. Sorry to everyone who has to read this. I shouldn't be sharing personal problems on the internet.

No, I've always been very value and goal oriented. In the second grade, I had some pretty strong values for my age. I wanted to stay smart, get into a good college, have talents, and be a good person at this point in my life. Oh, and I wanted long hair, haha. I //think// I stuck to that plan. I will say that I wanted to be an actress, so I'm a little disappointed that I stopped acting, but I replaced that talent with singing which I think my second grade self would find to be a pleasant surprise. Not everything went smoothly, but I'll take it.

In 2nd grade, all I wanted to be was like the typical cool high school kid. I'm almost 18 now, and I think I'm what my 2nd grade self hoped for; (Not being self absorbed or cocky) I drive, I have a boyfriend, I play varsity sports, I dress nice and I make my hair how I wanted to when I was little. Seems a little vain but that's what I wanted for myself in the future, when it was difficult to fit in as a non-white child.

I went to a private catholic school k-5. My mom made me wear my hair short (at times it was even with my ears) and I absolutly hated that. My school was small and there were about 35 kids total in my class. I felt boyish because of my hair, fat (even though I wasn't really) and very unpopular and unfashionable compared to the kids around me (the mandatory uniforms didn't help). At middle shcool I switched to public and my life blossomed, even though I didn't realize it at the time. I'm tall and lean, and I can pull my hair back into a long ponytail which I always wanted to be able to do. I can drive, and I have friends that I can go out and do impromtu things with. The other day I was walking with my friend out of a convience store carrying M&Ms, a fountain soda and my hair pulled back, and in that instance I knew I was who I wanted to be. And this wasn't out of superficial values, it wasn't the need to be popular. It was out of the want to be confident and happy with myself. I know the second grade in me is happy and grateful because that's what I am. I'm happy with myself and I haven't compromised anything along the way.
