| I won't ever be one, So i don't fear it. |
| im going to graduate school soon and i have no idea what i want to become or work as a profession/Occupation but other than that NOPE aint afraid just the "job" part is scary >: |
 |
| Going to school, not having to worry about anything was just awesome. After that I wasted a year doing nothing and now I'm a trainee/apprentice (whatever the correct english term is) for a job I hate. Every day I want to quit but I can't since I somehow have to earn money and stuff. But I have no idea just what exactly I want to do in the future, there is no job I'd consider fun doing. So yeah, growing up sucks. |
| I'm not scared I just don't wanna adult body. Not very good for cosplay :( |
| Not really. I don't care. |
| Y'know, there's really not such an obvious transition from being a 'child' to becoming an adult. I'm now 17, and I've come to the realisation that life has become a lot more srs business. At this age, the things you do and the choices you make start to have a solid, realistic impact on your future. It's pretty lame, but like I said, the transition doesn't come all at once. I was left wondering, not so long ago 'When did my childhood end'? The sad thing is, you probably don't realise what it really means to be a kid you're past that stage of your life. I totally understand how becoming an adult can be scary, but you have to reach that point in your life some time. Honestly, I should be pretty worried. And I'd be lying if I said I was entirely confident about my life in the future. I don't really know where I'm going. The bottom line though, is that it's not really something to panic about. You don't become an adult overnight. Education provides an obvious route into adulthood and future success, you just gotta stick with it and take it on a bit at a time, even if you don't see a clear path ahead of you. TL;DR: It's daunting, no doubt. But in the long run... s'all good. (Almost) everyone finds their way... eventually. |

| I used to be afraid but not now. Just because your body matures doesn't mean that you have to act mature as well. I love to watch anime, play video games, surf the web, etc. 20 years down the road I'll still be doing the same thing, I would bet money on it. You can always be a kid at heart if you choose to. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently. |

| No. |
| The responsibility scares me a little but the feeling of actually earning your own money to buy stuff is more compelling :D |
     Thank you to Cyruz-chama for patiently helping me with my siggy ;) |
| hmmm. im 24, all I can say is when I was 14 or 15 I couldn't wait till my 20's...I found out I drank a whole lot more b4 I turned 21 then after. Life gets hard, if your the least bit sociable, H.s. can be great to get laid and party! I hated school always, but to tell you the truth the first couple years out I missed H.s. it was a social setting. You can srsly become a recluse, especially us otaku kids. I am managing tho, I am a lazy stoner otaku,, im looking for a job but. Im basically a NEET. I do go out and stuff tho. tl;dr-enjoy yourself always every year of your life has it's up's and down's.... |
| Unfortunatly Im 20 which means Im already an adult. I wish I could go back to high school :( |
 |
| I'm 18 and fortunate to still be living with my dad and barely paying anything. i go to school and have a part time job... I'm gonna be screwed when i have to move out and take care of a family. Idk anything about raising kids or bills, buying houses/apartments, etc. It feels like your childhood dreams become just memories when you become an adult. remember when everyone was like "I Wanna be a ____ when I grow up!" and then....it never came. I don't want that to happen to me. I wanna live life having fun with next to no worries. like THAT'S gonna happen XD |
| It's normal when you're younger to worry about being older. I had the same problem. With me, I would look at adults and think "God, they don't look like they have any real fun at all, they just work and live day to day. Plus, their ideas of fun are so mundane." I thought that was what would be in store for me and I hated it. Then as I got older I realized that it's not the same because even though you mature more over time, you still stay the same person you are, your general interests stay the same and most of the people around you will tend to be the same way too. Few people realize that they're going to grow up into their own generation with their own personalities and interests, and not the adult's they saw before them. For some people, leaving home and working or going to school seems really intimidating. You might be able to say that you had a similar feeling when you first tried to ride a bike, or swim, started elementary school, or transitioned to middle and high school. You have a certain level of doubt that you won't be able to succeed. But once you get started, you realize it's not as bad as you imaged. It's no different than working full time or living on your own. It's simply taking another step. Hell, I'm 24 and I still sometimes wonder if my life is going to suck when I'm an old man in his sixties (assuming I live that long =P), haha. But even though I'm currently back home with family for now, I lived away from home from when I was 18-23 and while on some occasions it was challenging, it never stopped being fun and you really understand yourself better when you branch out on your own and gain a deep sense of pride at what you accomplish during that time. And even though I had to work full time (still do, actually) and/or are a full time student you find that you still have plenty of time to have fun. So while I understand that not everyone can relate to this I also think quite a few people can, so if you do; FEAR NOT! You'll be just fucking fine, so relax a little and enjoy everything while the adults are still paying for it, for you! XD |
| Just turned 18 on the 11th this month. Nothing is exactly different. Yet.... Im mostly worried about leaving highschool though, thats for sure. Got my health card thing, asking if I wanted to donate organs upon my death.. Little weird to think about. |
| No, i am not really scared. hehe. Now, i am turn 20. I'm just afraid to lose my friends. When, i left my old school, i would cry, because i had to left my friends. I was really miss them. I always think about that because I am not sure that people that i have met have a second chance to meet me again. I hope it won't happen again with all my friends in university,especially my closest friend. |

| i'm going to be honest if paying bill's is apart of being an adult it fucking blows. |
| Riveting is rosy, pockets full of posies, given to the mother of the deceased. Awaken at war, 'til I'm restin' in peace |
| eh somewhat, getting to the end of college iubkram said: i'm going to be honest if paying bill's is apart of being an adult it fucking blows. |

| I'm more afraid now then I was like 6 months ago or so when I wrote on this. Sometimes, I just wish life was easy. |
| Um, not really? I'm excited for the most part because I want my freedom away from my parents XD To live on my own and be even more independent than I am now :B |
| For me, life after high school has been a lot easier. College has been more or less a breeze. But, now that I'm graduating in a month, I feel like I'm becoming a "real" adult so I'm kinda nervous. Though I'm more worried about being a student teacher in September, I hear you have no life, which will be an eye opener for me since I'm used to having constant free time.... Also, after 4 years of dorming, I don't know how living at home full time is going to feel like, I'm not too excited for that... |
| I'm a bit scared of becoming an annoying, impatient old man that is hated by everyone |
  |
| No |
 |
| jeez. It's insane how everyone who replied to this when it was originally posted is an adult . It feels weird to read these comments |
