This entry is to express something that i thought about tonight.

I was thinking, how much easier being a kid was then being a teenager. I love being a teenager, but being a kid was just so care-free.

Somethings we have to deal with that kids dont: Jobs. Kids cant work, and now whenever we save up for cars and other stuff we need money to do so. So we are in desperate needs of jobs.

Girlfriends (or for you girls, boyfriends). How much easier was it to have a "special someone" when we were younger. You saw eachother in class, sat next to eachother, and went home care-free. Now we have to worry about calling them, buying them stuff, keeping them satisfied, and put more time into it. And as a kid, you liked whoever you liked and it didnt matter. Now, with a "special someone" comes drama and sometimes heat-ache. And you want to find that "special someone", because the future is coming pretty quick. But along with the drama and heart-aches comes joy and happiness. Relationships are not all bad, and i dont want you to think i'm saying that...its just that they're more care free when your a little kid. Do you guys get what i'm saying?

For some of us we have 1 more year of highschool, others are already in college or just starting, so the future is basically now. But when you were younger it seemed like the future would never be here.

Another thing is college. Where you want to go? What do you want to study? As a kid it was like "oh yeah, i want to be a doctor", "i want to be a vet", ect. But its not that easy. Not only do you have to think about the positives and negatives of a career you want to do, but you also have to have made the grades to succeed in that field.

Lastly i was thinking about "bad stuff". I didnt know how else to word it. Okay, think back whenever you guys were a kid. Whats the one thing you thought was the worst thing in the world? Disobeying your parents? Not cleaning your room? Not eating green-beans? Honestly, those things weren't bad when you look back on them. Now we are faced with so many "bad things". Sex, Drugs, Alcohol ect. And unfortunatly most of the time we give into those things. Not everyone, i'm aware of that, but sadly most of us do. And i'm including myself in that, so dont think i'm trying to condemn. I'm just trying to make a point.

I know this is a random entry, and maybe you guys dont get a word i'm saying, but it was just something i was thinking about. I love being a teenager, and despite the drama that goes on, and all the hook-ups and break-ups, and all the schooling, these are our best years, and we gotta make the best of them. Being a kid was so easy, but i dont think i'd trade being a teenager for anything.
