That you can never be as utterly irresponsible as when you were younger, that you can never rely on anyone else or expect them to pull you out of doing something stupid or destructive? That you are never going to have a tiny little child body ever again? That you will never get to redo growing up and either make different mistakes or do things differently than you did? That you'll never fit in kids clothes or be able to wear puffy princess dresses without looking stupid? that you'll never get to do stuff other kids did that you missed out on because you are too old now? that you will never be pretty in that fresh unblemished way that some people seem to acheive in their teens but that for you was marred by acne and dark circles round your eyes or some other set of imperfections? that you'll never have the body some of your classmates had in their teens? do you ever feel bad that you wasted your youth being cynical and never got a chance to actually be innocently in love and trusting (even if it did spare you some pain)?

Replies Bennette Posted at 5:20 pm on Feb. 23, 2007 for me, it doesn't make me sad at all.  I love the fact that i can support myself, and (for a while) i supported my ex too (when she was my gf).  That made my life happy.  Being dependant on others isn't something i like. The only thing i dislike is not being able to fix mistakes, but at the same time, i know that by making them, i've learned better.  I'd only change them if i could keep the lessons learned from them osmoticdespair Posted at 7:38 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from deadwood83 at 2:24 am on Feb. 23, 2007 Quote: from osmoticdespair at 7:12 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from clown killer at 2:11 am on Feb. 23, 2007 ill be happy to get out of school unlike yall i can meet my friends out side of school cause i have   pepole skills haha the sad thing is this actually *is* part of my problem See a psychologist to sort out social anxiety. nhs deficit says "looks doubtful" bball beanie Posted at 6:55 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 yah i dunno about the cynical part but i wish i could wear the poofy dresses again...good times deadwood83 Posted at 6:24 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from osmoticdespair at 7:12 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from clown killer at 2:11 am on Feb. 23, 2007 ill be happy to get out of school unlike yall i can meet my friends out side of school cause i have   pepole skills haha the sad thing is this actually *is* part of my problem See a psychologist to sort out social anxiety. osmoticdespair Posted at 6:12 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from clown killer at 2:11 am on Feb. 23, 2007 ill be happy to get out of school unlike yall i can meet my friends out side of school cause i have   pepole skills haha the sad thing is this actually *is* part of my problem clown killer Posted at 6:11 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 ill be happy to get out of school unlike yall i can meet my friends out side of school cause i have   pepole skills melodramatic Posted at 6:10 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 well, no, not really, because I still act really childish sometimes. osmoticdespair Posted at 6:09 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Quote: from dissilusioned at 2:07 am on Feb. 23, 2007 Its funny, you spend years 1-15 wishing you were older, and now i kind of want to slow down time for a bit, so i can just enjoy being 17. Laurie xxx yeah when I was a kid I wanted so bad to grow up and my parents said when I grow up I will want to be a kid again and I didn't beleive them, fool that I was! It is scary though! I will wake up 20 years from now and freak out that only yesterday I was 20! divine judgement Posted at 6:09 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 na not really. cgman Posted at 6:08 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 still a sophmore. Though I know what you mean. It'll hit home i'm sure in a couple of years.         justbadnews Posted at 6:07 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 to an extent.  but they older i get, i believe the more childlike i get at heart. Dissilusioned Posted at 6:07 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 Mm, im at college so im not totally old yet, but yeah i do miss the good ole days. Its scary just how quickly my life seems to be going. The nineties seem like yesterday to me! Its funny, you spend years 1-15 wishing you were older, and now i kind of want to slow down time for a bit, so i can just enjoy being 17.

Only for a moment.  Plus I haven't really made any bad decisions which I would regret. Squee77 Posted at 6:06 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 yes i do. Death of rats Posted at 6:06 pm on Feb. 22, 2007 That hasn't occurred for me yet, but I still think the answer is no. I can still look as stupid and be as cynical as I want once I leave school, but with the added benefit of being self-sufficient. Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
