A few days ago, I was thinking at something… I’m a rather calm, but if you step on my tail, I do react. Besides this, I leave you alone so that you can scream in peace. I didn’t do stupid things, and all my life I have been considered a good child and a hard-working pupil.
THAT’S THE THING! Why? Kids, these days, are taught to act like adults, not like children. For example, two years ago, in the 8th grade, I told my mom that I wanted to have guitar lessons. She agreed, but in the 9th grade => fiddlesticks!
This year, I wanted to take up skateboarding. Mom, this time, asked herself where could I possibly get this idea from? It might be better for me to stay indoors , learning, ‘just so that she would know me safe’ or to have tutoring at 52121111312 thousand subjects, instead of doing something more interesting, something foolish, or, as a best friend said, ‘a sport that breaks your legs, but also rises you up in heaven’.
Generally, parents are afraid to acknowledge that you have grown up. Since you were little, they have been telling you when you were wrong, even though it might not have been a big mistake. They don’t let you be a child! You get through this period, which is an important one, and after that, you wake up at 16 and realize that you have grown up rapidly and that you have to slow it down, but you can't.
It’s a bummer to know that you can’t turn back time, to become a child again, because you’re already a teenager, but you don’t want to face the problems that you have now either. So, you’re kinda stuck in two different states, like two parallel worlds… life is strange…

Embrace it ! growing up I mean. Btw, parents will always see us as the little cute babies we were. It is unavoidable.
