Ok so this is my issue! I am about to graduate high school and I am not ready!!!! I never have been. Growing up has never interested me. I would be content to go to Neverland with Peter Pan and never grow up. I mean seriously think about why growing up is so great. First of all you and your friends all go your separate ways, you have to get a real job and take care of yourself and while having a sense of independence is nice I'm just not ready. Don't get me wrong, I am so ready to settle down with the love of my life and start a family, but somehow I just wish I could skip the whole saying good-bye to my friends and growing up stage and head straight into the whole being a wife and mother stage. I think about that but what if I'm not ready for that either. What am I ready for? Just when I find the perfect guy, I have to go and leave him by graduating. How fair is that? So I realize that by now I am beginning to sound really childish, but since I don't want to grow up I guess you can understand. In a way I think I am reverting back to my old childlike tendenecies if that is even possible. I am beginning to think I am crazy. Everyone in my class has declared me criminally insane on account of the fact that I am so dreading this whole graduation thing. I just don' think they realize the seriousness of it all. Yes, I am probably overreacting but I have thoroughly enjoyed this whole high school thing. The world is a scary place, and in three weeks I am going to have to face it head on!!! Look out world here I come!!!
I don't want to grow up!!!

nobody wants to grow up. I'm not ready to move on after graduating from high school either but what can I do? I just have to deal with it.
Amen.

Growing up is part of life and you learn as you grow.
I am the same way. I think I was the only one who did not want to graduate high school. It was hard for me the first year of college, because I missed high school so much. But now, a few years later, I am just loving the college life. I am still in good contact with all of my best friends from high school and visit them at their college frequently. There are still things I miss, but that's life. I am sure you will be fine.
i agree. im actually TERRIFIED of growing up & leaving high school & having to deal with real life problems. it's scary. but it's better to try do deal with things day by day & not think TOO far ahead.
