Fifteen is such a weird age to be. Nobody treats you like an adult, but you desperately want to be one. You still have these childlike aspects, but you're just kind of coming into the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Although I've watched myself making the transition from being a girl to being a woman, I still feel 15 years old. My reflection disagrees.
I love being a teen because you don't have all the responsibilities of an adult yet.
I am 30, but there are things about me that are still 15.
I was in high school, and when you get to be 14, 15, you start to feel a little more like your own person so that you can assert your adulthood a little bit.
Being a teenager is chaotic because you're kind of coming into your own, but you're not an adult; you're fighting with your parents over responsibilities and freedom.
I think I've been lucky enough to have had an extended adolescence. I'm a lot like I was when I was 15.
By the time you are 30 you are still trying to make your 15-year-old self happy but you are a different person. You need to be brave and let go of that.
No 17-year-old is just one thing, especially in this day and age. Kids are into all sorts of things.
An adolescent is somebody who is in between things. A teenager is somebody who's kind of permanently there. And so living with them through the various teenage hopes and sorrows and joys was curiously enough a maturing experience for me.
I never had teenage years. I guess because I was seen to be more adult than anybody around me.
