Lately the idea of growing up has been on my mind. There has been a great amount of pressure placed on us as from our parents, teachers and ourselves. As a kid we have everything done for us. We had someone pressuring us to get our work done and helping us get through the hard stuff. Now that I am growing up, I realize that there isn't this strong support I once had. Sure, there are people available for help, but the amount of responsibility is drastically increased. Getting used to that has led to some mistakes and challenges. I guess its all a part of growing up. I want to do so many things but can't find the time to get them all done and that can be very frustrating. I know that I have the rest of my life to do get everything I want done, but for some reason I feel like that has to be now. I look around and see my friends all moving forward in their lives and accomplishing great things, while I just feel stuck in the same place.
