I want to grow up. Or do I?

BY MAKAYLA B. – 12 YEARS OLD

If someone were to interrogate you and inquire about what part of being an adult is fun and why, what would you say?

Would you say because you can do whatever you want? Or maybe because you can eat whatever you want and stay up as late as you want?

Well if I were asked that question, I’d probably say being able to do whatever you want would be the most fun. I would be able to buy a dog. I can’t right now because I am not allowed to have a pet. The reason for that is because I used to have a pet fish, and I was too young to take care of it, so my parents had to for me.

Being an adult may sound fun, but it’s not all fun and games. Though being an adult may sound fun it also can get challenging at times.

Depending on the job you have, and if you enjoy what you are doing, going to work seems like it can be a drag. Adults have: expenses (paying bills, food costs, etc.), they have to keep their house clean, if they have kids, they have to deal with all types of bad behaviour, and of course, there is traffic.

So while being an adult may be fun, it also has its challenges. Adults have many responsibilities, and although it might seem like it is fun being an adult, the challenges and the responsibility do not seem fun at all.
