Everyone thinks that growing up is something special. But it’s not really. I mean honestly, who wants to grow up? First you have to take more responsibility for what you do. So yes, that means that you can’t blame the dog for spilling the container of grape juice on your mom’s new carpet and get away with it. You have to also start paying for everything yourself! And that beautiful dress you want...well, unless you can afford it, you wont be wearing it anytime soon.
Trust me, when I was 10, I thought that being 17 was going to be magical! Boy, was I wrong. Hmm, what’s that? Yes, I did just turn 17. And what? And I don’t have a right to say whether or not being 17 is a wonderful magical experience because I just turned 17? FINE! I will prove it to you. I will record every single moment of my life until I turn 18. Maybe than you will see that being 17, isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
