I can't play any school sports until I'm thirteen,I can't get an email account until I'm thirteen,I can barely to anything on this website until I'm thirteen,a majority of the clubs I want to do I'm too young for, it seems like everything I'm too young for! I don't get why. I know how to be safe online, I'm very smart and athletic and talented so I doubt see why there is SO many clubs and after school activities I want to do, and I have great advice to give, but I have to wait for 3 years. I think this is stupid! I know that crazy people are online, but I understand not to fully trust them, and not to meet them in real life. Some say that 10 year olds are too immature. Not always true! Some kids are very intelligent, mature and adult like. She adults can be very dumb immature and childish. So why can't I participate in do many things. Someone asked me a question I can give a perfect answer to, but I have to wait soooooooooooo long. I'm sick of adults thinking that we are all young idiots. I'm tired of being held back because of my age. I'm tired of people saying “you're too young" I want to be treated like I'm old. A teenager. Not a 2 year old.
I know it doesn't seem fair, but that's how it is, life isn't fair sometimes. Adults don't think kids are all young idiots, we've just lived longer, seen more, and are more aware of all the dangers out there, your parents are just doing their job, keeping you safe, teaching you to make good choices, be patient, wait until you're old enough and enjoy being a kid. Being grown up isn't nearly as much fun as you think it is. [ tlynn828's advice column | Ask tlynn828 A Question ]

People just want you to be safe, and there is nothing wrong with that. You're probably at the stage where you think you're big enough to handle everything that comes your way, but trust me, a lot of us have been there and done that. I wish I was thirteen again, so I won't have to worry about anything. Being young is truly awesome. You don't worry about bills or difficult choices that can change your life drastically.
So, enjoy the things you could STILL do and stop worrying about the things you can't do. [ Mesa's advice column | Ask Mesa A Question ]
Sweet_LiL_Angel answered Thursday January 30 2014, 11:11 pm: I hope you got your rant out. One reason is because your brain isnt fully developed. Two because adults don't want you to grow up to fast. There are city activities and sports you can participate in. A lot have scholarships if you can not afford them. I have two children my 7 year old son has played baseball 4 years going on his 5th this year, basketball, two years of soccer and more if he would like to. My daughter is 4 and does gymnastics and loves every moment of it. Look up programs in our community. Volunteer and a soup kitchen. Just because you think you are grown up enough to do something does not mean you are because when you get a little older you were going to wish you were younger and I am not some Grandma giving you advice. 23 I wasnted to grow up quick and I did and it isnt easy take life slow enjoy the things you can do and when you getto age to do the things you want to do it will make them that much more meaningful.Good Luck [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
