Since you are right in the middle of adolescence, you are very well-prepared to speak about the subject of growing up. What do you think of the process of "growing up"? Is is a largely positive experience, or is it a painful experience? Think of a major life experience that has changed you. What major transitions have you had to face? What moments have forced you to grow up?

ReplyDeleteYou grow up and work. You try to survive in this world while supplementing your needs and wants. The world can be yours as long as you work for it. In life Hard Work+ Talent + Opportunity= Success. As far as opportunity go, they are everywhere, you just need to know where to look.
ReplyDeleteWhen my grandmother passed away I grew up because I needed to be able to help around the house. I knew that i needed to become a more grown up me. I live with my grandparents so now i have to be able to work around and outside the house to get things done faster. My kitchen just got redone so i had to help out.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up is to progress from childhood toward adult hood. During this time of everyones life there can be many negative challenges you must face in order to become an adult. More stress and responsibility is put on you as you grow up. Although you gain much more freedom, this forces you to learn to care for yourself on your own without any help from family members. This can be difficult to transfer your life style in such a short span of time without any guidance.
ReplyDeleteSince I am a 14 year old right now I am in the middle of the growing up stage, from a child to more of an adult. I think of the process of being exciting. It is hard to think that in less than two years from now I will be driving. Already I have been given more responsibilities at school and at home. I think that maturing and "growing up" is positive, being able to have more freedom, independence and learning how to live life by myself. I also think the stress is increasing as I get older. The school work gets harder and soon I will have to start thinking about what I want to study in college. Elementary school to middle school wasn't a big change the workload was very similar and all of my classes were right next to each other with most of the time the same people in it. Middle school to high schools transition is much more dramatic although we are only a couple days in, the way things flow is different then it was in middle school. Last year homework spent around 25 minutes a night, but now I am prepared to have to put in much more work everyday in order to maintain good grades. I know that in college I will be required to put in even more work, and later in life while trying to make money.

ReplyDeleteI think that the process of growing up as a teenager is a significant part of our lives. It can bring us lasting memories of fun times, and harder times as well. The gift of growing up will eventually be helpful and positive, but the process of this experience can be painful and frustrating. The mistakes and pain that we go through will teach us lessons that we can carry with us for the rest of our lives and can help shape us all into better people.

ReplyDeleteThis process of growing up has been pretty easy for me and I think it has been pretty positive all the way through these few years. The transition from the middle school to the high school hasn’t been as stressful as I thought it was going to be. I think this switch is going to be very positive to my life and is going to help with my academic and sports skills. Switching from elementary school to middle school to high school has helped me transform as a person and as a learner.
I think it’s negative and positive. The positives outweigh the negatives by a long shot. In order to get the positives the negatives usually come first. Like the situation might start off negative but in the long run positives will come.
ReplyDeleteWow that’s true
Delete@russelll I think that is very true great point
DeleteGrowing up is overall a positive experience. Throughout childhood your parents have to control you and you don’t have any freedom. However, as you grow up and mature your parents begin to back off and give you more space to discover yourself.

DeleteI think that the process of growing up is a good thing. Growing up involves negative experiences and positive experiences and without negative experiences there wouldn't be any positive experiences. When I was in 6th grade I moved from Houston Texas to Wenham Massachusetts and that affected me in many ways. I had sad times and happy times but it was overall a positive experience. I got to meet new people and live in a new environment.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up is a good thing because now you have a little more freedom. But you'll need responsibility. I've taken some stupid decisions and i've learned a lot from them. Like when I was in 7th grade I tried to bomb a hill on my bmx bike.............I fell and got a road rash on my leg and back so now I know not to 31mph down a hill on a bmx.
ReplyDeleteI think growing up is a big step in life that is good and can also be bad. It is good because you get to learn how life operates and how the world works. Negative experiences are good also because you learn lots of new things that you didn’t before for example if you get pulled over by a police officer for speeding you will learn that in that area you need to drive at a slower pace. that is why i think growing up has negative and positive experiences.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to changes that have caused me to grow up, the biggest one has been seeing friends of mine drift away from me or each other. The most prevalent time I saw it was when my closest friend got a boyfriend, and would only hang out with him. I was dependent on her for many things that you usually talk about in elementary school. She would say she had a crush on one person, and I would just nod my head and say “me too”. After she got her boyfriend in 7th grade, I realized I was copying her on more than just stupid crushes. I had to learn to rely on my own mind to decide things I wanted to do or liked. It’s good to not be dependent on others as much anymore, but it makes life harder. You can learn things about yourself better when you rely on yourself.
ReplyDeleteThere are positive and negative aspects of growing up, however a main part of growing up is having more responsibilities which can be stressful. A big part of growing up is getting a job. This is a crucial aspect of adult life and nearly everyone works throughout most of their lives. This summer I got a job and was exited at first because it was a new event which proves you are “Coming of Age” but soon after I realized the responsibilities that were at first not apparent. By having the new responsibilities of a job you have less free time to do what you want and you have to learn to prioritize and be ok with working instead of having a fun day. Along with this you also begin to make your own money which feels good and makes you start to become more independent. Over the course of the summer this is what I have learned about the consequences and rewards of growing up
