Description
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention by a commenter that the 'randomly placed apostrophes' were throwing off the flow.
So I removed em. THERE WILL BE NO PUNCUATION. This will be a continueing trend throughout the rest of my poetry. I've seen the light and old habits die hard.

Poem about people acting older than they are, or wanting to be older, not taking the time to enjoy themselves while they're what they are. =]

*slow clap* I love it. A lot of my friends/family/teachers/etc are like "Grow up already!" I have like, (hopefully) 60(?) years to grow up! Be young when you're young! And again <3 your poem~!

I totally agree. The ones who go out to party a lot try to be grown up and very fashionable. Most of the time, it's great to be young, because you don't have to blamed for many things and there's always someone you can look up to for guidance. Being the opposite, it's hard being a leader when you don't have much plans.

there are girls in my class who spend all breaktime and lunchtime in the toilets brushing their hair and putting on make up trying to look older....then there are girls who climb on the lucnh tables...

I'm afraid I don't agree with this poem. Having more responsibility can also mean having more personal freedom. Believe me, that's something some people really wish they had!
But I still like the poem. XD

I love your poems! They always seem to touch my heart.
I don't know how many times I've seen little children younger than myself dressed in clothes that make them look like little adults. It's even worse for teenagers. They not only dress stupidly, but they do stupid things as well. All to try to be more "grown up"... I don't get it... =__=
I dress comfortably so that I can enjoy my time as a kid! I see girls in my class dressed in outfits that just look painful and annoying to wear. High heeled shoes, shorts skirts, dangling jewellery... How are you supposed to play games, climb trees, and jump around in the mud on a rainy day with outfits like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you completely. Why some girls wear those god-awful, annoying,uncomfortable clothes puzzles me. I mean I'm a girl and right now I'm wearing an oversized T-shirt and basketball shorts. People need to stop trying to grow up so fast
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad to know someone else agrees with me! 
Sometimes I get comments like "You should dress more like this, you'd look pretty" or "You dress like a kid". It can be annoying, but most of the time I just laugh. I am a kid and just because a girl doesn't wear girly clothes doesn't mean they're not pretty. It's okay to focus on your appearance, but most of the time, girls who try WAY too hard to be pretty on the outside have an ugly personality on the inside. I think how we dress reflects on how we think of ourselves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. Honestly I wouldn't deny the worst you could say about me if it was true. because honestly i don't care what others think.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a great quality to have! I think more girls should be like this, not caring about what other people think. So many girls quit sports and activities just because they don't like how they look. It's ridiculous.

thanks and i agree with you. I mean those who are judgemental are so insecure inside. It makes me sad to see others critisized
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob. I know, it's sad that people have to pick on others to feel good about themselves. It would be nice if we could all just be more accepting. That goes for everything too. Colour, age, sexuality, etc. People are quick to judge and don't get to know the person. I admit that I do that sometimes, but I try not to. Even if a girl is dressing provocatively, I try to give her the upper hand until I see her do something that is rude or inappropriate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i know i give everyone the benifit f the doubt until they prove they dont deserve it. i know a girl and i am her only friend because she has anger issues and i'm the only one who knows that. she didn't even tell me her sister did.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow! That's really nice of you. You sound like a great friend. There should be more people like you.
I hate how people judge friendships by quantity and not quality. Sure, I have friends I talk to at school, but if someone asked me how many friends I had, I would say one. I only have one friend I ever hang out with because we share morals and get along well and we don't even go to the same school. She's the only friend I have that I trust and could share anything with her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks and your right I used to have one friend i could trust but then she moved away so we don't talk to each other. I've had issues with real relationships since my brother died so i don't have any really close friends. it's not that i don't like them or vice versa im just not done healing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know what it's like to lose someone, but I do know what it's like to end a friendship and grow apart from a close friend. I understand where you're coming from. I've moved around a lot. I had friends that I absolutely loved like family, but as we got older they changed and I stayed the same. I never really had a crowd or a group of friends that I fit in with, so I'm used to chilling by myself, and I actually like being alone now. It's not that I don't like my friend but it's more comfortable to spend time alone. But I do try to spend as much time with loved ones because I never know when I might not see them again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never really had a group either and i like being alone with my thoughts. but i've isolated myself from everyone emotionally so i don't get hurt. but im begining to draw closer to that real relationship agian. i guess its taking so long because i never reaally grieved
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean. I never had a lot in common with girls my age because they're all gossiping and talking about boys and makeup and that's okay, but I'd rather talk about things like school, careers, life, interests, dreams, and not just girly things. Because I didn't have someone to talk to with the same interests I was very quiet. But now I'm coming out of my shell as I'm starting to find out who I am. I'm not as worried anymore. Of course, I still worry about getting stabbed in the back or lowered to a backup friend (it's happened), but I think I could handle it now.
That's good to know. Everyone usually has a time in their life when they just need to let out some emotion. I know I did, and when I look back on it I just laugh at myself and think "Wow. That felt good."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I still have trouble talking to other girls my age for the same reasons. my closest friend is a guy we talk about school and art, since we are both in advanced classes and love doodling on our assignments.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol yep! And sometimes I'll get intimidated by these girls cause I'll think "she's really pretty, why can't my hair look like hers, etc." But once I start talking to them it's like I'm talking to an ordinary person and I forget all about appearances.
I would love to have a guy friend. I think that would be awesome. Guy friends could play sports and video games with me, and not a lot of girls are interested in those things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah when was the last time you could talk to your girl friends about the newest video game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly! It's fine playing games by myself, but I think it would be more fun with friends. Another example is anime. It's a Japanese cartoon (that's how I have to explain it to people) and it's really cool. I would love to have friends to talk about anime with.

yeah, my friend and i both watch hetalia and we confuse our social studies teacher when we sit and just laugh through her class.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love Hetalia! It makes history a lot more interesting. Ever since I discovered it, I can never think about the world the same way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, you can't who's your favorite country?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like a lot of countries, but my favourites are Canada, America, England, and France. How about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a tie inbetween England,Russia,and Austria.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool! Russia and Austria are awesome too.
I think after watching Hetalia I've become more patriotic. Just cause my country's stereotype is funny to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think my countries is funny too. i think its even funnier because i dont eat hamburgers and i knew where japan was.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol that's what I love about stereotypes. Some things I understand like people saying "eh". Canadians do say "eh". We just don't realize it. I thought I didn't say it, but according to friends apparently I do. I don't understand where "aboot" came from though. Canadians pronounce most words like Americans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and it's pretty funny how america says "I'm the hero!" because america has troops in wars we have no buisness being in because were 'trying to be the hero'. And I admit i was kind of surprised that America didn't have a southern accent. because thats one of america's main sterotypes, that we all talk like red-necks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand how America is always trying to be the Hero. That is so true. xD Same! A southern accent would have been hilarious.
I honestly wish Canada got more screen time cause Canada was in World War 1 and 2 from start to finish before America decided to join. Yet Canada is just too nice to take away screen time from his neighbour.
I'm going to volleyball so I will probably reply in an hour or so.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok I might not be on then it's 9:15 here. but i think its really funnt how to most people america consists of Texas,California,New York,Hawii,And Alaska. I think its even funnier because I live in North Carolina.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's 9:15 where I am now. xD
Lol really? Are those the most commonly known states?
I'm not sure what people think of Canada, but it's probably something like they think Canada is made up of British Columbia (Vancouver), Ontario (Toronto), and Quebec (where the French Canadians are).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, Because if you live in america you're either country or spray tanned.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol well if you live in Canada, it's most likely that you're pale, unless you're an immigrant. We don't get a lot of sun year round, unless you live on the West coast like me where the Pacific ocean is. I live in British Columbia, which is basically the California of Canada, except it rains a lot.
I've been down to America, but I've never really talked to any Americans. I'd like to though, because I'd like to form my own opinion on Americans rather than believe the stereotype. There are rude Canadians, so there must be nice Americans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, id have to say that i am more timid than most americans. And honestly americans can be a bit overwelming sometimes. So when I get flustered i just go hide in my room and draw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does sound like it would be overwhelming. And the population is so large in the US, there are so many of you. xD I can barely handle a crowd of Canadians, I don't know how I'd handle a crowd of Americans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i plan on moving to a less populated country after i finish school. America is just to stimulating for me. And i live in one of the less populated country areas. Others might like all the people, but for me people are a nuclear apocolypse and my bed room is the only safe refuge i have
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know what you mean. In Canada we don't have that problem, but if you go to bigger cities like Toronto or Vancouver, then it can feel a bit overwhelming. Bigger cities are more exciting, but I prefer smaller places. I don't know how I'd live in a big city. I'd like to move to a small town in Europe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah well there is lots of people everywherw here. And i feel the need to avoid people like the plauge
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess one way to look at it is the more people, the more friends you make.
It's interesting to talk to people sometimes, but other times I'm like a hermit crab. I'll go out and socialize for a while but then I feel the need to crawl back into my shell.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah im not really trying to fit in. I guess i dont really care if my social life crashes and burns i have to go im going to church. I'll get on later.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome~. I barely have a social life, but it's fine cause I have more time for other things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah all my friends are from church or school. Thats ok with me and if anyone objects to that i dont really care care. I mean, i dont care why should they?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly! As long as they're good friends, then who cares where you met them? And places like church and school are usually easy places to meet new people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, other than the park I don't really go anywhere. especially the mall......Too many people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh man I hate the mall. Not only does the whole world go there, but the only good mall I have in the city I live in is boring. I don't like shopping anyway. I know some girls like to go buy shoes and clothes and stuff with their friends, but that's not fun to me at all. I'd rather go look at video games, movies, or sport things, and even then I just wanna go home after an hour.
