Hello, I have been on this forum for a short while. (Like a few months). I have mentioned I am 13, which matters in this post. In 5 years, I will legally be an adult and in 3 years I will be seen as an adult. Rn people still see me as a child even though I’m a teen. The transition from 12 to 13 was a big point for me because 12 is a younger, innocent age. 12 is the age where people don’t expect them to be that mature. For example older people say, “What are you, 12?”. I still want to be 12 because it’s more innocent. I can’t handle growing up.. tho some day I have to be mature and dominant. That will be in 3 years so I need to prepare. How can I accept growing older?? Will it just happen?

It’s I guess the “what’s expected of me” and the “How do be an adult when I’m actually still only a child”
As a parent with two sons now 21 and 18 and how they are maturing at different rates I think it’s important to remember that we are all individuals and there’s no rush, expectations are forced up on us sometimes but it’s vital to just be you and to not worry about age. Just be the best version of you and enjoy your childhood as it’ goes by so quickly.
School prepares you for the workforce but it’s doesn’t prepare you for life all of that comes with experience and it’s the experiences we have and we deal with them that shape us .
Just be you and focus on now not about being an adult, if you look at how many years you are a child in comparison to being an adult then you see your only a child for a little while and growing older doesn’t mean you have to stop and take on a role dictated by society, just don’t allow that to happen as you can still do childish things well into your 90”s.
Have the best fun and don’t feel pressured to be anything.
