To The Girls Who Grow Up Too Fast In High School

What does "growing up too quickly" mean? When I say 'growing up' I do not mean physically or developmentally because that happens normally unless you have a disorder or disease that may stagnant that. "Growing up too quickly" in particular means becoming more as an adult when you are still just a child and making decisions that are not always the smartest. This "growing up" part of life can become stressful and change others perspectives on what life really can turn into to by the way you think. Some girls in high school grow up way too fast and realize that they are acting more immature than usual and doing things that many girls shouldn't. Many girls in today's society are worried about their bodies and how it's portrayed to others, which just hypnotizes their mind to think that a perfect body is needed. Girls should think that a body you are comfortable with having is the best one and not a body that you see as "perfect." Many girls "grow up too quickly" in high school and do not realize that they are rushing through things that should not have been experienced at that young age.

Some girls experience things in high school that they were not ready to experience and regret it later on in life. Do not rush anything until you are ready to attempt something and keep your distance from negativity or fake friends in general. High School is mainly when things go a bit out of control and the testing the limit factors enter. Peer pressure also continues to grow on children, and high school girls do not realize that temptations strike as well. I am talking about sexual tensions for girls in high school. Do not feel the need to rush these things. When you teenagers rush things during high school and grow up quicker than usual, many things seem easy, but affects you drastically and continuously. Females who grow up too rapidly in high school become more exposed to dangers and other harmful experiences that they would not want to encounter at such a young age. "Growing up" is fine, but growing up too quickly can be detrimental.

Everyone should grow up, but at a certain pace. High school is where some kids do unnecessary things and think they are grown in a certain year because of superiority and class. School can change how others perceive others and just make sure growing up is a process, not a race. We have our entire lives to grow up, there just is no need to rush. Growing up distinguishes the fact that many mistakes will come upon you, but it is up to your decisions to stop those problems from occurring more than once.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
