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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
