I feel like I'm growing up too fast...?

Question

My best friend in the world just got a boyfriend. And I'm extremely happy for her! She is really crazy about him and he seems good for her!! But it kind of hit me hard. I didn't realize how fast we're growing up. I'm entering high school this year and it's so overwhelming! It made me think, "Ok, so she has a boyfriend now. Maybe I'm next!" Of course I've always thought of what it would be like to have a boyfriend, every girl has, but now that it's happened to one of my friends, I'm worried. I just don't know if I'll be able to handle it! they talked about kissing and all that cute stuff, so my thoughts are just racing! Does anyone know what I can do about this and if anyone has any comments please say 'em!

ThanksC:

HUG- Hun, you ARE growing up! Highschool is a Whole other world, but a good one at that!!

Things change, && walls go down. You should be excited! This is only the beginning!

Well from my experience a h**l of a lot of my friends and classmates were growing up way too fast around me. But although sometimes I've felt pushed to grow up, I've always tried to act mature without TRYING to 'grow up'. Things happen for a reason so don't let other peoples actions effect your ways. It is nice to feel a little immature. Your only a kid once so you might aswell take full advantage of it or you may regret it in later years.

The trick is to have an even balance of maturing slightly and still being a kid.
