I think that the biggest difference that I noticed when I became an adult is that I lost a lot of my innocence. I got involved in a relationship very young that wasn't the best thing for me at all. He was 3 years older than I was, and I started having sex with him. I was way too young to be doing the things I was doing with him. Although I don't regret this experience (because it's helped make me who I am today), I really wished it had happened when I was a little older.
The relationship quickly turned abusive and violent and I let it go on for four years because I was terrified of him. Now, I don't trust people very easily at all, and I don't do well in relationships. I never have, and I probably never will. However, the positive side of this is that I will never have another relationship that will hurt me, and I can understand what other women are fighting with when they are involved in an abusive situation. I'm quick to jump up on my soapbox and speak out against violence toward women, and also talk to teenagers about dating and their readiness to become more intimate.
The other loss of innocence that I miss is the ease with which children believe in things. Not just Santa or the Tooth Fairy, but also the innate goodness of people, the thought that there is always someone out there looking after us, and the belief that there are still fairies, dragons, and unicorns out there. I miss the comfort of having such easy faith, and having the thought that no matter what, everything will be ok.

Innocence

Optimism. When you are a child you feel so optimistic about everything, you think that your going to marry a prince and have a fairytale wedding or if you say that your going to be the president you really believe that this is going to happen. but when you become an adult seeing how most things don't go your way we sometimes loose optimism.

imagination, as in imaginative play. A certain degree of creativity. An open-ness to the world. the ability to live in the present (yes, kids always want to be older, but when they're involved in an activity, they're truly involved and not worrying about what's next.

You loose a big part of your life. I am 15 and I can feel myself transitioning more and more everyday. One second you were care free and the next, your always asking questions and wondering why.

Just what you said: Innocence, inner-child, believing that you can become whatever you want.

optomism is always there, sure you lose trust in some people, you learn to be weary of people perhaps. Innocence, being naive and carefree.
