Remember being a teenager and thinking "Adults are so exagerative" when they talked about the real world?

I remember feeling that way, it makes me want to smack my kids upside the head when they act like I don't know what I am talking about.

I have a greater understanding for my mother these days.

Yes, adults used to exaggerate about everything. I couldn't wait to be able to go to work, go to my super cool apartment, and just hang out. I wish! Adults do not exaggerate, if anything, we downplay how hard it really is because then the kids would never leave! I too understand my mother much more now that I am older. I feel badly that I said and thought so many mean things about her.

Not really... I just think "Oh god... few months im going to have to actual deal with this."

I'm more pissed off at people's lack of respect for my understanding of the world.

But i'm really looking foward to finally growing up... it's nice being a child and all but after a while your voice needs to be heard.

Yes, in many ways. I used to think, 'Ooooooh, I can't WAIT until I go out into the real world and move out of home and get a job so I don't have to go to school anymore!'. If only it were that simple!

HAHAHA no kiddin! And geez, I acted like my Mom wasn't even human! I just don't remember as a teen realizing that my mom was a PERSON. With FEELINGS. Man, guess I should have listened to her..hahaha getting old is funny.

i am about to be a teenager in like a month

and i do this adults are so exaggerative
