It's so easy for 16-year-olds, including myself, to say, 'I just wish I were an adult.' But we can't wish our lives away. When we're adults, we'll say, 'I wish I were 16 again.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.
I wish I was a teenager in the 1970s.
I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.
I wish when I was 17, somebody had told me not to care so much about what other people had thought.
Sometimes, I feel like I spent the first part of my life wishing to be a teen-age boy, and the second part condemned to being one.
I thoroughly object to getting old. If you could let me be 16 again, I'd give you everything I've got and everything I'll ever have.
Youth is something I never wanna take for granted. I just want to smile and live life.
I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.
I wish my father had lived longer. He died when I was 18.
The wish fulfillment of growing younger is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be. You have new problems that arise which you are not anticipating and you deal with the same problems you would deal with if you were ageing normally: what is the end of life about? What have I accomplished?
