I live in the U.K. I am 18. I'm an adult.
There, I said it. Its time I faced up to that fact. In many ways, I want to be a kid again. That carefree attitude, very litle REAL responsibility, everything done for you, pocket money, living in your house for free, etc. My life as a child has flashed by.... It has been so much fun. I have experienced a lot of things, some cool some not so cool. But i wouldn't have changed any of it. All of my experiences have shaped me into the well rounded person I am today.... And now its time to move on. To say goodbye to childhood, and to move on.

Does anyone else feel the same, anyone who is my age obviously. I particuarly want to hear an American persons opinion on 'officially' becoming an adult.

Yes, I feel like that, and I" only 14, close to 15! My mom's cutting me off at sixteen, because then I can drive a car, and get a job, and all this crap. If I have to get a job to get money, that's fine with me, that's how I've always gotten money, it's just the fact that she's pushing me into adulthood really fast that I don't like. I take things at my own pace, when you push me, I push back, and then things get ugly. Good thing is, I've already got a job set up at Toys "R" Us, problem is getting there, it's a short car ride, but I don't have a car, and it's an hour and a half bike ride, which would not really be good for making the money by hour thing. I just want to be able to play around all day, and not care about war, and the Middle East, and all the starving people in Africa. I just wanna play with my Lego, eat a hearty supper, and sleep at ease.

I'm American - 25 and married... Things get a lot more difficult once you are "out of the house" and on your own. I moved out of my parent's home when I was 16, and the transition wasn't as noticeable for me, but the one thing that will grate on you is that you now have a completely new responsibility ethic.

For example- Now that your an adult, you can get credit, but you can ruin your life with it. You can drink, but the law will treat you more harshly in other situations. You can get a decent paying job, because your "age" apparently allows you to be safer in such environments, or act more responsibly.

Age is merely what you make of it in my opinion however, and the functions of society are all availiable to anyone to a degree. Now that you are legally an adult, do your best to make those functions work for you as well.

Also - never listen to this baby puke.... He's thinks it's funny to have no friends. He has no life- and is such a loser that he has plenty of time to make multiple spam accounts. I really pity the racist bastard davester... He needs a life quite desparately... My baby sister is more social than him. She has real friends!

I am just starting college and it is cool to be doing something new but it comes with a lot more responsability. As long as I can play halo I will never grow up!

Ok sounds like an after school special. j/k

Yeah i hate being old. I'm 23 and i go to college. You've guys heard me whine in the past i bet. I have a super boring job. I just surf the internet all day. Im a work-study at the alumni office at my college. This job is super boring. today i have to sit at the front desk all day and deal with old women.

Yeah it sucks being old, i have to pay rent every month. Then i have to pay for a my car, insurance, cell, phone, and cable internet. Man so wish i was a kid right now. I would barely be getting out of bed.

Theres a song by MxPx called Responsibilty. That song always reminds me of being a kid. I dont feel like an adult but i get treated like one. It sucks.

I am 13. I have decided I want to be 16... then stay 16 forever. No, wait 17. Then I can see "R" rated flicks alone.

Me and you should make a club... the "my job is so boring I want to kill my self with a spoon" club. I work at a bank and all I do is sit here and take papers out of folders and put them into a scanner then sit here for a half an hour watching them that is why i'm on here so much, a monkey (not even a trained monkey) could do my job... I have never done anything where time passes this slowly man it sucks. I can't wait till I finish college and get a job I actually like.

lmfao thats good stuff. yeah you would think working with old women could be cool at times. But its disgusting, i have to hear them talk about things no man should hear. They female bady is so gross. I cant believe some that bleeds for 5+ days doesnt die.

But i can say i do get away with alot of crap here. All you gotta say is "I'm sorry" and you canget away with murder.

Ya that is true. "Oh really" "I didn't know" "I had no idea im sorry" works well also, but im so insignificant to the bank that nobody really pays attention to me. They only time people come by my desk is to steal stuff from me it really gets annoying. Every day I have to get a bunch of new pens, my stapler has gone missing many a time, and I have even had my chair taking before. I wonder how long it will be before some one just takes my computer or maybe my desk and leavs my comp sitting on the floor, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah people used to steal stuff from my desk all the time. So then i just left the top of it totally bare. I just have a lamp, my phone, and some stupid Zen garden that one of the Heppie ladies gave me. i always poor water in it. So now nobody looks to steal anything. Also i keep wierd things in my desk like folded papers and candy wrapers. so when people open it there afraid of getting a pen with food on it. Also i dont think i have a stapler i just always use the copy machine one. Now that i think about it i waste alot of the companies money. Some times i print out emails that way it looks like im doing something. Then i just read them and throw them away. I also take bottles of water and cokes without paying for them. Then when i take my car for errands i usually add 5-7 miles so i get more back at the end of the month. I also use the supply closet for my own personal store for school supplies. See you just gotta find i way to sick it to them.

Ok my job is almost exactly like the one on office space. except for TPS reports i do alumni event letters.

It says a lot about the true level of activity and maturity of the people on these forums when you realize that everyone is always trying to prove they have a more active social life than everyone else. My question is, "Who gives a -blam!-?" I'm here to talk about Bungie and maybe some other stuff.

Anyways, yea, I know growing up sucks.... but hey, with responsibility comes freedom. Sometimes.

I'm 20 and I freaking hate it. I mean yes...I've had great times and I've met a ton of cool people. But there ARE somethings I would go back and change if I could. For instance...I would've forced my parents to send me to a better school district. Ours blew, also, I would've actually tried to get some scholarships, paying for college is a -blam!-, especially when you lose your fin aide. There are a ton of things I am happy about from my childhood and throughout my little life span. But there are some things that need to have never happened. Finicaially(sp) I hate being 20, but being able to have the freedom I do now isn't so bad....i could rant forever....so to make it short, 50/50 Is about how much i want my childhood back!
