Child's Play

Hearing those words, "You're just a child, you don't have problems," really gets old fast. As a teenager my every day schedule defiantly qualifies as an everyday problem.

From peer pressure to politics, from school schedules to work and play, is definitely not just "child's play." As adults, they often forget of what it's like being a teen, as a teen, I often fail to forget the everyday encounters we, as teens, are forced to deal with.

Everyday and every time I step out my front door I am faced with new challenges and new problems that a "young adult" is forced to deal with. Juggling everything is a problem, not to mention what you have to do.

As a full time student at my local High school and working part time every day at my job, fighting to keep my eyes open and my head off my schoolbook while I'm studying, is my full time job in its self.

As I'm about to graduate high school next year, I'm going to be faced with new challenges that an "adult" is forced to deal with. Hopefully going from "child's play" to a "young adult" to an " adult" a lot of things will change but not everything.

Leaving home and saying goodbye to everything I once knew, I will start a new life; my new challenge of the day.
