Essay Example on Growing Up

Growing up can not only help you as a person but it can also benefit others as well. And you get to do all sorts of stuff as adults. One thing you get to do as adults that you cannot do as a chiled is, “ You get to work”. “ This could be a con for most, but I personally love being able to generate an income for myself in which I can spend it on whatever I want.” This is good because by being able to work you can make money. Although you can work as a teenager having  real full job with a really good pay can be very beneficial to all so you can bye a place to live and other things you need like a car, food and things to keep you can your home clean.(Reasons being an adult is way better then being a kid by Kait MacKinnin 1)

As a kid or teenager  some are having to learn how to take care of themselves or others which is equivalent to growing up, “Sometimes, there are kids that are put into situations where they are forced to learn things that most kids their age don’t know. Whether it’s cooking for themselves, at a young age, having to get the groceries, or maybe taking on important tasks around the house. Some of us understand that in order for life to run smoothly, we have to learn how to cope by ourselves and raise ourselves in some aspects of life”. This is important to kids and teens so they can learn at a young age then grow up to be very good at taking care of themselves and others. It’s also a good thing because then the child won’t have to rely on others. (The benefits of growing up fast by Kyma Madyson Herrold 1). 

Another good thing about being an adult is that you no longer have to ask permission to do stuff,“I still ask my mom for her permission but disguise it as me asking for her opinion. But the difference now is that regardless of  whether or not she says yes, I can still do it anyway and face virtually no repercussions, at least from my parents”. This is fun for people such as adults because they no longer have to get the exception from their parents to do something. They also won’t have to feel like their parent has to say yes or has to say no, they no longer have to rely on that parents response.(Reasons being an adult is way better then being a kid by Kait MacKinnin 5 )

Although an adult is really good, being a kid or teen is also very good,“Adam cleaned the apartment when she was too tired, which was often . He cooked supper for them so she could unwind after work. He did the laundry, ran errands, and took care of her physical needs. Adam stopped being a child and became the parent to his mother. Their roles were all of a sudden reversed, and Adam felt the weight of adulthood before he was ready to shoulder it”. This does show how being forced to grow up can really damage a kids spirt and ego because they feel as though they have to grow up inorder to keep you there. This is also very damaging to their social life because if they are always doing grwonup stuff they won’t ever have time for other stuff such as friends and school. ( The role reversal: growing up to soon Dr.Gregory l 8) 

To sum this all up, Being a kid is good and fun but turning into and adult and being able to do more fun stuff and also being able to hold a job and earn money is way better then going to school and going to parties. This all just shows hw much better browning up is for the person and others around them.
