growing up
ive changed a lot this past year.. way more than i can ever imagine. i was a really different person a year ago and i guess i just grew up. got a lot more maturer and learned a lot about life.. especially by learning everything the hard way/mistakes. im sure i'll be changing a lot more for a while... had a talk with a friend just then about ppl "growing up". and he said it was pretty young for me to grow up this fast.. life changed when i was 15/16. i think i changed cuz i HATE being looked down for being ONLY 16.. yes im young but please dont judge me.
and some ppl NEEDS TO GROW UP and act their age and not their shoe size :hehe: was there an age where u just CHANGED completely? or did it just progress? Last edited by bebu*funfun; Oct 28, 02 at 01:03 AM.

I was forced at a really young age to grow up.. when I was 12 I had some huge issues to deal with and as a consequence, I grew up and matured a lot quicker than a lot of my friends. it kinda sucked in a way because I lot of the things that they were doing for fun, for me were meaningless.
But I don't think that was the one main point in my life where I have changed. I think that change goes in steps, you slowly progress until something major happens and a big jump occurs.

from about 16 on you change every year i'd say or atleast till your 19, thats where im at now so i dont know about the rest, but i'm sure its the same. you get a little older in the way you think/act/dress every year. dont be afraid of change and go where life takes you.

I've always been more mature than my peers, which sucks sometimes but in the long run, has been excellent!
When I was born, my Babba told my mom that I have "an old soul" and I think it's very true...I don't feel like I'm 18...I don't do 'normal' 18 year-old things like partying and drinking and crazy shit regularly. I feel more like a house-wife....I go to work, I spend time with my boyfriend, I clean, we stay in on Saturday nights to watch movies and stuff like that. And I'm quite content with it =)

I'd say things started to change at 16, the whole growing up and maturing and everything els. I also started hanging out with people a year and 2 older than me, so that might have had an affect. To tell you the truth, I started smoking weed at sixteen and when I did it changed my way of thinking and kind of added to the maturing process. It expanded my mind of way of thinking, taught me to see things through other perspectives, helped me come to terms with reality and realize a bunch of things. It basically made me do a lot of thinking and understanding.

i think i changed the most when i was 12/13..after going through some hard times..but i completely changed again when i was 15/16..i was forced to mature because that was the only way i could get past some things...people have always said i was mature for my age..but i figure it was because i always hung around with older people..it's all on how u grow up and wut happens in life...~

blah i say have some fun and be as immature and obnoxious as you can but when you need to be mature, be mature.
but the important thing you learn as you grow up (in my opinion) is respecting other people as well yourself. other than that go out have some fun and live life to the fullest when you can =)

wow very thoughtful things im hearing here..from ppl i totally did not expect too. i was forced to grow up this year when i started working..started payin for my own neccessities and having my very first bill to pay off every month. i luv it cuz my 21 year old sister still gets spoon fed everything at home. my point is to prove to my parents that i can be independent after i graduate..even though im younger than the normal age to get out of highschool.
respect is something i follow extremly seriously...especially to older ppl (who are pretty much all the ppl i know). be immature when i wanna be and be mature when its needed. fair enuff. i can see LOTS of growing up these few years.. im kinda scared, i dont know wut i'll turn into. i dont wanna go through nemore..i always learn the hard way in things..i hate it. suck it up and be a big girl

growing up is mainly being able to be independant. a person who chooses not to drink or go out and do wild things is not more "grown up" than person who chooses to be wild. this i find is a typical high school mentality which is rather stupid but i guess once you're out and know what its like to be stressed out over being able to survive, then youLL know the value of being able to be childish and and have some wild fun.
but bev.... just go with the flow cuz in the end youLL grow up anyways =) you're still young so enjoy being able to be seriously immature since you still have an excuse to be

bev, I was exactly at where you were a year ago..
but realise soemthing.. people will always judge you on your age not matter how intelligent or mature you are. Just be proud for yourself that you are who you are.. if people are gonna be dumb and doing that.. then they're really NOT worth your time. I learnt that the hard way too.. but if you want you can to, but I'm just letting you know. :) oh yeah.. watch out for the 'agist' remark... :soak:

martin..im not lookin forward to the stressful life after highschool, even though ive been lookin forward to just gettin outta there into a newer environment. i already go through TOO much stress.. i took the comment "be involved in everything while ure young" dealio too seriously.. gettin myself in wayyy too much stuff, while tryin to have a social life as well. growing up is fun.. being immature is always fun. i'll always have an immature side.
jovs.. agist remark. try this one. *hot dude hands out after party flyers.. hands it to everyone at the party..comes to me didn't look who i was..shoved me a flyer..looked at me...says..woops my bad maybe u can try to sneak in...grabs the flyer back and laughs off* bahahahaha it was funny. take a step at a time and grow up to be a big girl.

I call you over! hehe
Yeah it was really when i was 15 years old. I started going to parties and doing stuff. It was a really big change in my life. Was always a shy person(still am but not as bad) and just opened me up and taught me lessons. Some of them hard and well learned the first time and others jsut a trail and error thing that you will learn not to make again with age. Going older doesnt seen like much fun, looking back at it there was lots less to worry about in life and everything. Its like getting older makes things harder, but dont worry we all have the strenght in us to get to the next day. Be young at heart and dont stress the things that you cant control. *hugs* Hope my rants helped a little ~NeAL

Apparently I have been mature ever since i was a small child?!Hard 2 beleive aint it? But yah sincei was 12 I did a lot of growing up. Many horribly things have happened but I do not look back in anger for i do not look back at all. Things from the past made me who I am today and things that happen today make my tomorrow...and for that I am thankful. I am thankful for all of my mistakes for in every mistake I have learned a life long lesson that I will forever keep in mind body and spirit.
Its amazing to see how much I have changed over the years...ita mkes me damned proud...one day I will be a productive member of society!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i just said all of that shit HOLY FUCK I FEEL LIKE THE JUICE MAN! BINGO NOW!!!

i think for most of us....life started changing once we got caught up in the whole rave scene
well for me anyways, i met people and experienced things that i couldn't even imagine and cuz of the party scene, i came out! lol guess cuz i actually met other bi/gay people, i didn't know ANY before i started partying. not really into the whole rave thing anymore, but i will take what i learned from it, and go on with life the best i can.... S-U-C-C-E-S-S that's the way you spell success!!! =P

raving = introed to ppl older than me (more than just a "few years older" = influenced by them = matured = grew up
yah u can say RAVING got me to grow up. other than that they were stupid things i did that got me in trouble that got me to think about how delicate life is and made me think of life as a long process and decided to smarten up and grow up.

I'm never gunna fully grow up...that's one of the reasons i'm becoming a kindergarten teacher. I'm gunna have just as much fun as they will playing and coloring and singing!! I have 2 parts in me...one part started to grow up/mature a couple years ago in grade 11 and the other part is still a kid and as far as I can see always will be.

I think i've grown in sooo many ways this past year, i've taken responsibility for myself and the things i do~ I've taken many leaps that id normally be too afraid to, and the thing thats weird is i havent really had a whole lot of reliance on anyone but myself!Im not the crazy girl i used to be thats forsure, i used to be all about being crazy but now im really laid back id say~ the weekends i spend mostly w/ my boy just chillin' :), nothing more nothing less, but i like it!

i've grown up a lot this past year. my mom lives in the states now and she used to do everything for me. now that shes gone i've had to learn how to deal with things with out her support. i've become really independent. i still have my dad but it's just not the same. i dont even talk to my mom anymore, its made me realize that i have to grow up and start really thinking about my life, and my future cxause she's not there telling me the right thing to do. my dad doesnt give me rules or anyhting to live by so in a way i have to make the right choices for myself instead of my mom making me do everything right, and by doing that i've learned from my mistakes.
