Growing up is a tragedy to some, but to some it’s a sense of relief and freedom, finally escaping the chains that had held you down for the longest time. But what if some just grew up too fast? We all know that one person who either matured too slowly and is the funniest person we know or that one snobby dude who thinks he’s so much better than others just because he matured faster than others, but then there’s always that one person who is always alone and was super smart in elementary school but is now just burnt out. That person whom everyone used to go to get answers from and ask questions on how to finish making a turkey using geometry, is now just there, sitting alone struggling in class. Is maturing too fast bad for people? I feel like when people mature too fast for them or are forced upon them they just end up not enjoying their life and they miss out on things they could’ve done. Similar to sports, when young kids are forced to play a sport that their parents love it is always a coin flip. Do they enjoy and love playing the sport, but sometimes it is too much where their parents have just hounded them on every little thing. Or do they just suck it up and hate it, but keep playing because their parents like it? I think these two things are pretty similar because just like maturing it is usually something that is forced on people, just like how some parents force their kids to play a sport and usually get burned out despite being crazy good at it. I generally think that maturing too fast ends up harming some individuals, but there is always that one scenario where maturing too fast can end up benefitting some. But I do believe that people should in the end just enjoy life and live it to the fullest and if something they don’t like speak up and say something instead of just sitting there suffering.
