Growing up in this economy

Well my growing up experience has been disappointing at times and extravagent at other times. But during the process of growing you sometimes find yourself waiting to grow even more,but then there are times where you wish you were still that innocent child from back then. When you're a kid you have no worries, you just live life. but when you become a true teenager thats when you feel your world crumbling underneath you. You begin to realize what responsiblities are because now you have to pay for the small things that you want.Such as cellphones,clothes,gas for your car, and other such things. when I was young I never thought life would be this much of a challenge,all I had to do then was go to school and that was it.But now you have to go to school,get good grades,graduate, and even after that you may want to college, so there goes another four years of school that you have to deal with. Then when you become an adult you have to prepare yourself to "leave the nest" and become independent by finding your own home paying your own bills. So long story short,stay young as long as you can because you only live once!
