Nostalgic of the past.....?

Question

I know it's crazy and stupid for me to feel like this becuase I'm only 15, but I feel like when i turn 16, my childhood is over. because after that is 17, 18, 19 and then I'll be an adult. It's like I'm afraid to get older. I just wish I could stay a kid forever. And now that I'm in my second year of highschool, I feel like I miss elementary and junior high so much. I really enjoy hanging out with friends that are a few years younger than me because I feel like I can relate to them better than people my own age and older. And I have also always been kind of small for my age. People often mistake me for being 12 or 13. I always wish that I was still 12 or something. I've talked to some of my friends about how much I don't want to grow up and they have kind of helped but I still feel so nostalgic. How can I feel better about growing up and realize how good I have it right now before I'm not a kid anymore?

Answer 1

Well, life is about change, and change means both new opportunities, and saying goodbye to the past. Some people are blessed and see only the new opportunities, and some of us think more about the things we have to say goodbye to. It's OK to feel that loss. But just remember to also try and appreciate the new - the wonderful possibilities that you couldn't have when you were 12.  The new people you'll meet, the things you'll be able to do, the freedoms you'll have, the things that you can understand and experience when you're older that you can't when you're 12.  

Answer 2

well your not a kid there is a small kid inside you :P , I'm 15 too I don't really want to grow up but I have to act all grown up  cause I am the old sister I have to be a good example ....

Uuum we lived a nice childhood  now its nice to act/live grown up its kind of fun putting on make up and wearing heels (i don't wear heels)

Both young or old we love to have fun and enjoy our lifes so get over the past the past is in the past :Pp~
