Analysis Of DonT Growing Up Too Fast

Have people ever told you that you are very mature for your age or that you have an old soul? If the answer is yes then you know the struggle of growing up too fast. Even though someone may tell you “your very mature for your age” may sound like a complement but to me it’s not. From a young age I remember being the kid never outside always in the house reading, writing, cleaning, and taking care of myself even when my mother, aunts, cousins, and grandma were home. I was forced to grow up faster than a child should during their childhood and teen years.

Here I stand on the brink of adulthood, a daunting place to exist. I peer over the edge and gaze into a chasm, bright but blurry. I am afraid. I am anxious. But I am hopeful. I am hopeful because I know that my past has defined me, but it is my future that will continue to mold me. As my years as a teenager draw to a close, I find myself reflecting on pivotal moments that taught me what it really means to be a good human being.

Whatever happened to everyday bike rides through the ‘old road’ with friends during summer? Playing in the mud and getting dirty, swimming in river banks and lakes, having water fights with water balloons and bottles, drinking cold homemade lemonade and sitting on the edge of the road eating 50c ice blocks as the days got heated? These are just a few of the many fun activities I did as a young child from the ages of 6/7 until the age of 13, when I was introduced to my cellphone. They are also things which have now become rare, boring and have been made a second option in the minds of the generation of today. Kids these days have dropped using their imaginations, going on adventures and

Here we all are, in this school, to take the succeed in first step to being an adult, plausibly due to the high expectations of friends, family and ourselves to be advanced. “Oh, the places you’ll go,” this famous Dr. Seuss quote will now stick with us and give us a motto to reference on mnay occasions. Whether the occasion is great or tragic, we will remember it shows the strong opinion that we all have a purpose and a plan for our lives and we are where we need to be. As well as, there is no time superior to the present to pursue my future. Now you tell me, against the stress of all these things, do we

There is more to life than just physically growing up; it’s about the experiences we gain from them and how we mature from these experiences. It makes us mature and has definitely taught me a thing or two and what I’ve learnt is, our lives are defined by our choices and the pathways we choose to take. They might be good or they might be bad.

and it couldn't be more true. Growing up is inevitable and is a epidemic people have been trying to battle for years, the

Most people have been told to grow up at some point in their lives, but what does that really mean? I wonder if the person saying that actually knew what they were saying and if the recipient fully understood how ironic and grim it was to tell someone to grow up. The person telling someone to grow up must be very unsettled or very ignorant because maturing and growing up is the hardest thing to do and some people never quite do it. In the novel The First Part Last, Bobby learns what it is like to grow up by coming of age. By the end of the novel, Bobby has found who he really is by maturing, dreaming, and becoming more responsible.

Even after having a kid, some people still have the feel of childhood and do not get the concept of being adult, in some cases people are forced to grow up, but do they really ever grow up? In the story, the first part last by Angela Johnson puts Bobby and Nia into an adult situation when they are just in high school, still living childhood lives. Throughout their experience, there is the same concept, coming of age. Bobby does come of age by considering himself a man or an adult, by taking the responsibility of a child on his own and by stopping the activities or actions he did as a child.

What does it mean to grow up? Does it mean washing your car, paying your bills, getting a job? Does it mean getting married, having kids, and sprouting gray hair? Is it necessary? Is everyone capable of it? Is it going to be hard and will it be worth the effort? All of these questions are probably what made Peter Pan decide to never leave Neverland. Growing up means a lot of different things to many different people. If we look at the words “growing up”, we simply think of the physical aspect of ageing, growing tall and wide. But for most people, growing up means something deeper involving a change in the approach that an individual has to life and the actions that are taken with it. In this essay, we will look at why people have

“The hardest part about growing up is letting go of what you were used to, and moving on with something you’re not.” Growing up can be fantastic. Growing up can also be scary. Many people do it on their own time. Others must do it quickly. Some have a nurturing family and a wonderful environment in which to do this. Others still are not as fortunate. The point is that everyone’s situation is different, unique. No matter how similar one situation may seem from another there are countless other things that affect how a child might grow up. One’s own life may seem perfect to those on the outside looking in when in reality, there could be a constant struggle that is known to few or even none. For myself, growing up was something that had to

In today’s society, parents are challenged with the ability of children to grow faster than ever before. Tweens are moving closer and closer to teens, and fulfill these adult-like roles. The media plays a major part in this dilemma, along with the need to fulfill major responsibilities, and the lack of family presence.

As we continue to grow up, we learn that being grown up is not as we imagined it. We once convinced ourselves that growing up was the goal to achieve, and life would be much better once we were in fact grown up. When we in fact do grow up, we think back at our youth and laugh because we thought growing up was the most wondrous thing to accomplish, but now, more than ever, we crave for our youth; for the days we would sit in the grass and daydream of what we are to become when we grow up; and finally for the days when life was simple and we could imagine it any which way we wanted it and no one could do a thing about it.

My future is something I often think about. Most often, the questions that arise include the common doubts of “Am I doing this right?”, or even the occasional midnight philosophical questions such as “Why are we here?”, and so on. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus on the factors that have allowed me to reach this point in my life and how these factors influenced and continue to influence me, in order to provide me with a visualization of my future.

Growing up is something we all have to face regardless of our age, gender, social or cultural status. Growing up is a gradual ladder toward changing (developing) from a naïve child into a mature adult. This change is shaped by the influential people and experiences we have met along the way. Growing up is not an easy process in most cases, but with proper support and positive guidance growing up can be the most rewarding experience. Through the journey of growing up we adopt a sense of responsibility and independence. Growing up is the difference between being told what to do and what decisions to make to making your own decisions and choosing the path you think is right. Becoming independent is one of the most frightening

Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life. Accordingly, the high school years are a time when teachers emphasize the importance of graduating and attending college in order to have a “succesful future.”
