But then spend our adult lives wishing we could be young again?

I often think about this and the only reasonable answer I can come up with is that we don't know what we have until it's gone. Cliche yes, but it's true. When we're kids we don't appreciate our carefree life, we want to be older because everyone else is and therefore are in a hurry to grow up and don't sit back to enjoy being a kid. When we're adults, we don't want the responsibility that comes with being an adult, we want to be kids again to not have to deal with everything that comes with life. When you're a kid the biggest decision that you had to make was who you were going to sit next to at the lunch table, as an adult you have life altering decisions. I for one regret ever wanting to be older than my age. i desperately want to be a kid again, I'm only 18- still kind of young- but I already see the responsibility that comes with being an adult and I want no part of it.

Because we see growing up as something really cool-staying up late, working, driving-ect. Then when we are adults we see that being a kid was better 'cause we didn't have to worry about paying bills, driving, working, ect.
I know I'm a teenager still-almost 14, but I'm kind of glad that I'm still young because I don't want to grow up really fast. I wanna enjoy my kid years and have some good memories to it-instead of just wishing to be treated like a 23 year old.

i don't wish i could be young again!!! i love being an adult! and wanting to be a grown up when you are a kid is actually part of life.
when you are a kid you wish you could grow up fast..then when you grow up *mentally as well as physically* you realize all the lessons you had to go through were part of helping you become an adult *hopefully anyways*.
and of course there are always some adults that continue to ACT like children...so some ppl NEVER grow up.
EDITED:
Steph....sorry to burst your bubble BUT even when you are an adult some ppl still won't respect you. if you think teens are cruel...well so can adults be cruel...even more so.
just be true to yourself! and don't worry what others think of you. screw them!

It's just the way of life. As a kid you feel you can't do anything fun until you're old enough and then when you become old enough you realize it's not as fun as you thought it would be and wish you were a kid again. I know I don't I like being an adult and welcome age as I will become more graceful the older I get. Hopefully.

Because we can't see into the future and we don't listen to our parents. I wish I was 16 again and I'm only 23 and I see how hard adult life is already. It's not as fun as I thought it would be, jobs, bills, responsibilities, OMG, I wanna be a teen again, lol!

some people are in a hurry to grow up cause there is more you can do as an adult. once you hit at least 21 there isn't much out there that you can NOT do.

so true, so true, being young again, what a great thing that was, so long ago. If only we would be able to see what it is really like as an adult, then no one would rush those precious young years.

Do NOT be in a hurry to grow up. You'll never have any MORE free time as you get older. Trust me. Try to enjoy every day because each season of your life gives you chances you'll never get back.
