"If You're Going To Screw Up, Do It While You're Young."

Question: Do you worry about becoming an adult? Why or Why Not?
Answer: 
not really. i have a really realistic attitude towards life and it gets my through just about everything. i don't consider my self pessimistic nor am i optimistic. i'm just plain realistic. i realize that some things are beyond my control and i don't go out of my way to get upset or worried by them. growing up is a part of like. it's a big change but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. changing is what makes us human. and we just have to accept the fact that we can either be prepared or unprepared. if you do everything in your power to prepare for life then you'll be fine. if you don't, then there's a good chance that you won't be okay. that's the reality of life. so, i guess my answer is no. i am not worried about growing up. 
for example, if you study for a test, you'll be fine and you'll pass. if you didn't, then you're probably going to fail. that's just the reality of the fact. worrying and being nervous isn't going to help you pass that test one way or another so there's no point in worrying or being nervous. on top of that, if you worry too much about the future, you forget to live in the present. you forge to just have a good time living life and the experiences that life has to offer. schools and parents only pressure kids to worrying about their future and their lives as adults. and then they get mad when kids are rushing to grow up. stop rushing us. let us just enjoy our childhood and friends while we still have time. we'll have plenty of time to worry about being an adult when we're adults. i mean, there's nothing wrong with preparing but worrying and stressing out won't do much for us at this moment. some things you just have to experiance to understand. so how are we supposed to know how to act like adults, if we aren't adults? for now, i'm fine with just enjoying my life and having a good time. you don't miss what you have until it's gone and i don't want to be that person who grows up and realizes that they completely missed out on their childhood. you know?
