Personal: Journal #2

Do you worry about being an adult? Why or why not?

I do worry about becoming an adult. When one becomes an adult, the world all of a suddenly become a whole lot bigger. A lot of things suddenly open up. A few things go away. A lot more can happen when you are by yourself.

A lot of things suddenly open up, the freedom of being to do a lot more than you can. Like driving for instance. Like right now, as I type this, I'm not able to drive, I don't have my license, but when I'm an adult I will. Then I'll have to worry about getting into car accidents (knock on wood), or getting a ticket. A lot of kids "hang out" in the streets getting into trouble, while I feel safe inside my home, quietly clicking away at my computer.

A few things go away. Like when one is older, people can see him/her as more capable of doing something bad, but that doesn't mean that you can't do something bad when you are young. When I was in middle school, someone scrawled a bomb threat in the bathroom. Anyone is capable of anything. More things can also happen when you are by yourself. Like getting mugged, or attacked, that's something that I'm also worried about. I am happy young, and not so sure if I want to grow up.
