I am having depressions about growing up. Currently I’m fourteen years old …And i am always feeling depressed that my childhood is going to finish soon. I had always wanted to grow up but suddenly , its different. I don’t understand why i am so upset …most people take it so normally …and most people dont face this until they’re like 26/27 when they really stop wanting to grow up.
I am really trying to think this whole thing over …starting from WHY i am so upset. I don’t understand whats causing me to feel this way.
And I don’t really understand if I am a kid or not ? and when am I not a kid…
Anyway, I think if I find out the differences between Childhood and Adulthood…I can sort of work out what I like and don’t like and figure out why I am so depressed. So Here’s my question : What is the difference between Kids and Adults and what are the differences between both lifestyles (Basic Distinct ones).
Thanks!

You are just on the brink of adulthood. It is normal, whether you think so or not to be a little aprehensive about the changes you are facing. I personally think that the main differences between adulthood and childhood is responsibility and priorities. Naturally as you get older you have more responsibility…for your actions, to the community (bills, etc.) and your priorities change…what’s important in jr. high and high school doesn’t have the same impact on you when you are older generally. You have to spend more time on chores (jobs, housing, cleaning
….when you are an adult but that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun. Attitude is everything. I have often told my children that you know you are grown up when you see something that needs to be done and you just do it without being told…because you know it needs to be done. This can mean working or anything. Life is more complex than this but that is basically it. You do what you have to do when it has to be done. You can choose to enjoy what you are doing (picking up dog **** out of the yard is still something I’m working on enjoying….but hey, at least I’m outside!) Anyway, what I said about attitude applies. Not everything will be fun and games but enough of it will or you can make it that way that you should have nothing to fear or be aprhensive about.
Have you thought about what you want to do when you get older? Where you would like to be or what you would like to be doing in say 10 years from now? There is an old saying ..worrying is doing nothing about something…or something like that. Make a plan/goal and work towards it. Change is difficult…only if you make it so…change is different for sure but it can be an adventure if you let it.
By the way, I don’t want to depress you any more than you are but at 60 years old I can’t run as fast as I could when I was 14 (but I can drive!) and touching my toes and sitting cross-legged on the floor sometimes requires a LOT of effort…but you have a LONG time before you have to worry about that!

The biggest difference that should appeal to you is the Freedom that comes with being an adult!! It feels Good to Decide for Yourself about every little thing. Maybe you were raised around depressed people who made adulthood seem depressing but it’s not!! It is a blessed relief!! I am free and I can do anything I want to do!!! I’ll pray for you and you think about getting some Cymbalta from your MD. Okay? Okay!!
We have a plan!! Gonna pray right now 8:59 CST. @8-) See Ya Next Time!! Take it easy today.
I am going to ask God to give you more confidence in your decisions and in your looks and with your school friends. I want to pray that you make it safely through this time of your life when your hormones are causing so many doubts to cover you with fear and depression. I am getting a feeling you are from a foreign land if that is true. And I want God to help you overcome your problems with low self-esteem. This is a hard part of your life and I am just asking Him to comfort you now, today, and help you learn to deal with other people who might not understand you. I will remember you. @8-)
