The lack of Eternal Youth is the bane of my existence. When I turned 15 I realized how much I missed being 14 and the older I get the more I realise the past was so much better.

Everything was better when I was young.

I promised I would kill myself when I turn 18 because im so repulsed by the adult world. Obviously i'm not gonna do that since im already 18.

I miss pretending.

I completely understand what you mean. Like if i could turn back time, i would because i only really realised how important, fulfilling and just generally enjoyable the past is when it's already gone. If that makes sense.

Yeah, I get that too. I was one of those kids everyone says is "13 going on thirty", pretty serious, and I wish I'd spent more of my childhood acting like a child. Everything is so much easier with the security of just being a kid.

In my experience, it helps to just pretend once in a while. Have a picnic in your living room or watch a disney movie and let yourself just react. Somersault a little. It doesn't fix everything, but it's worth trying Emoticon: Smile :)

It's always strange for me to hear of people feeling that way. I'm the complete opposite, I could never imagine going back to being so young, I'd hate it. I do have times where I tend to freak out a bit about my age, mostly before birthdays, but on the whole I prefer being an adult. I've got freedom that I never had before, and yeah, there's a lot of responsibility that comes along with it, but I couldn't imagine going back.

I'm the same... I'm really feeling it now because I've been doing my GCSE's for a year now and they are SO stressful and then when I think of it the exams from now on never let up. I have A levels after them I may have to try and get into uni and of course getting a degree takes a lot of work and then it doesn't even let up when you finish school there's job interviews and the thought of them makes me want to curl up into a small ball :')

I just miss when I didn't have to worry about any exams that mattered :') Now i'm stuck here doing what seems like millions of GCSE's :') (I'm just doing one extra one so that might be an exaduration)

and then I have to decide exactly what I want to be and I have absolutely no clue! xD Growing up sucks. I'm just hoping it'll get better but the prospect of whats coming up scares the life out of me!
