I hate being a grown up. Has anybody ever told you that it sucks? Because it does. You make one or two mature decisions about your life or your future or whatever, and all of a sudden people are expecting you to make all kinds of adult decisions. Well, hey america, I'M 16! I'm not freaking 30 yet. I haven't even gone to college yet. And already it seems like my whole life i've been making the "right" choice, and i've done the "mature" thing. I've always seen the bigger picture and i've always done what's "best for my future". But do you know how much that sucks? Because all i want to do; all i can think about, is being a kid. Or just a damn teenager. Why not quit my job so i can go to my family reunion in Indiana? Because it's not the responsible thing to do? Because an adult would NEVER make that choice? Well since when did 16 count as an adult. It's amazing; no one considers 16 to be an "adult age" when it comes to important things like voting, drinking, getting married, having sex, buying a house, ect. And yet, as 16 year olds we're all expected to grow up and start acting responsible for our lives. We're now expected to make sacrifices for things because we're mature. So which is it? Are we kids or are we adults? I sure wish someone would tell me so i'd know what to do with myself. Because right now, all i am is pissed off.
