“I’m not adult enough to get a job and have my own apartment, but I’m adult enough to make decisions on my own, know right from wrong, have ideas about the world. That’s why it’s so hard to be a teenager-it’s like a middle stage.” -Vance p. 18 This describes my life perfectly. I can see his frustration, he knows what he wants and how to do it, but he can’t quite reach that goal. I have been there and maybe I still have one foot stuck there. But the only cure to this problem is time. It will make you older and wiser!
I agree with Vance. Even now (and I’m in my last teenage year) I find that I can make these decisions like choosing a college, paying for it, going to school in the fall, doing homework and dealing with the issues that come up. And yet, you’re never quite old enough to do everything, according to your parents. And everyone goes through this stage of life, it’s like a coming-of-age rite.
