I don't want to grow up?!?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I'll try to advise you, but it's a little harder than you might think because (1) I'm not a 16-year-old girl, (2) I'm very much older than you, and have a life expectancy of about 17 years (according to the insurance whiz kids), and (3) am looking forward to everything that life holds in store for me.

I'll be 70 in April. I'm a grandfather who's raised or helped raise five boys. I have two granddaughters and four grandsons.

I enjoyed some parts of being a teenager--some were not as much fun as the others were. But when I was 17, here was what was waiting for me: 1. driver's license, 2. falling in love, 3. college, 4. career, 5. marriage, 6. children, 7. realizing several lifelong dreams.

I won't pretend there haven't been bad times. There've been a lot of them. But I would weather twice as many of them just to have the good times I've lived through.

I don't know what God has in store for me, how long I will actually live, or what kind of shape I'll be in during the years ahead, but I'm prepared to take everything in stride, just as I've been doing these last seven decades.

You are just getting warmed up, sweetie, and you are a lovely young woman already. Enjoy life. You get one good crack at it and it's up to you to make the most of it.

Things will get better and better and you only need time to make them that way.

I know how you feel, I am 18 now and hated turning it I felt sooo old. All my cusins are yonger to and the yongest is 1 years old.
Everyone has to grow up some time. Just make the most of being a kid.

I am exactly the opposite. At 15, i wanna get the **** outta high school and move on to the real world. Try thinking back. That may help. Or wait till your about 85, thats when you become a kid again ;P

if you're panicking over this you're gonna have a heart attack when you turn 18.
p.s. after that birthdays don't matter much.
i turned 19 today and it was meaningless, just like any other day of my life.

I'm 19 hush girl

But you'll be the first to get your full license, the first to graduate (out of your cousins), you'll be the first to get to go to bars and clubs etc. You don't need to worry and you don't need to go back to school immediately either, take a year off, travel, see the world and get to know what you want in life.

You have lots ahead of you soon enough you'll see the benefits of being the oldest because trust me your little cousins are wishing they were the oldest so they could do all the things you get to.

Don't worry about growing up, it's scary but when you get here you'll realize the freedom and the things you get to do. Make a list of things you're excited to do when you're 17 that you can't now, you may need your parents help, just ask them "So when I turn 17, does my curfew change? does my allowance increase?" etc and that'll help remind yourself how great being a grown up is and the good thing about being an adult is that you can always go back to being a kid, I'm 23 and next month I'm going to lazer tag with my closest friends. Go plan that party of yours and celebrate another year of having friends, family, health and being the best you you can be!

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
that's always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

stop being silly. i dont want to sound harsh but honselty have a think about it long and hard. its not like everyone else is years ahead of you its a few months honestly. and there is nothing you can do to stop getting older thats pretty much what we are here for. live your life and be happy that you are here and stop worrying about stuff that you havent done. learn from it and motivate yourself to not sit around and worry about getting older or growing up go out and do the things you wanna do. do things so when you are older you can look back and say i glad i didnt sit around depressing my slef about stuff and actually did something about it and i have done everything i wanna do. and trust me there is nothing wrong with growing up. its fun. you get to do ****. i have a 2 year old son. and you know what ..... yeah ive grown up and have a family now but no one said to me you have to act like a grownup. i am the biggest kid around. just cause you ages go up desnt mean anything. trust me. yeah i am still young my self i am turning 25 in september. but i tell ya. i have had the most fun with my life and ive done everything i said i wanted to do. i am married now with the most beautiful little man i would never change a thing. when i was 16 i didnt wanna grow up but the sooner you learn theres nothing you can do about it the more fun you'll have. so stop worrying about the **** ya cant do anything about go out and make the most of thing you do have. xoxoxoxox and dont be scared about making mistakes. you will make some bg ones in your life time and everyone does. all you can do is keep ya chin up learn from them. a few months older than everyone isnt that bad. youll be one of the first people who can drive to school when you turn 18 and just stuff like thats. a few months is nothing. stop stressing about ya age and go out and enjoy you life. xoxoxox take care look after ya self.

I know its hard letting go of your safe simple world when your a kid. I hated the idea myself when it was coming around. Hey don't try to rush things in your life. Let things happen when it feels right for you. You also don't have to know where your going or what your going to be right know. All you have to know is what you want to try. So find a college or school that you might want to go and then look at all they have to offer. Then pick the classes that pop out to you the most. If you don't like them later on thats ok pick something else. Getting older is tough but its an experience that you have to face. Best wishes to you. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk.
