When I was a kid life was so much fun but still all I wanted was to be an adult. I was always fascinated by all the great and interesting things that adults were able to do. Every year that passed I was grew more excited because I was getting closer to being an adult. Now that I am an adult I wish I could be a kid again. Its quite amazing how fast your opinion can change. All the activities that I can do now do not compare to even one day as being a child. On the other hand I still enjoy being an adult and I still have a lot to experience. My life as a child and as an adult is vastly different but still is similar in small ways.
When I was a child I was allowed to do basically anything that I wanted to do. I would go outside, play with my friends and play sports all day long. Being a child was fun and had many positive sides to it. As a child I never had to worry about having to work or if I had a test the next day. Life was fairly stress free. All I had to worry about was what time my favorite cartoons were going to be on Saturday morning or what my friends down the road were doing. On Saturdays I would wake up bright and early and sit in the living room in front of the television or go outside to meet my friends fo
crazy toys from nerf balls to hot wheels I now have crazy toys such as my car and my computer. Technology as a whole is a toy. Now I am always into new technology toys and the latest electronics. In childhood and adulthood I was allowed to do things that you are only allowed to do at that age. These things would be as when I was a child I would watch cartoons and play action figures. As an adult I also have things I do that only adults do which are be responsible and watch the news.
Being a child and an adult are similar when broken down and looked at carefully. When I was a child I got to do what I wanted, this holds true for being an adult as well. As an adult can basically do what I want within the laws of the state and government. In both I have had fun and am sure I will in the future. As a child my parents looked after me and made sure that I did nothing wrong. This is also true with being an adult. The parent that looks after me so that I do not do anything bad now would be the police and the legislative body. They are there to keep everyone in check so that they do not go crazy and do completely what they want. As it was when I was a child I had all these
Respect is a huge part of adulthood and child hood. If I respect my elders as a child , they treated me well and took care of me. Respect in adulthood is important also. Adults must respect each other to get along on a daily basis. Now as an adult, I refuse to accept disrespect from anyone. I have always been taught to treat everyone with respect and if I do not receive that respect back I refuse to even communicate with that person. Respect is needed to function in this world.
As a child I did not have to worry about money. There was no need to, all the money I needed was to buy some candy or a favorite movie or CD. Every week I would receive an allowance which was ten dollars that I was allowed to do anything I pleased with. I thought this was a lot of money when I was young. When you're a child there never is a thought of having to save up in order to purchase something you really want. Childhood does come with its great moments but it's not as fun as it sounds. Being a child, you do not obtain all the freedom that you may want. Every time I wanted to go outside I would have to as my mother and father if it were all right with them. The thing that I disliked about this was that sometimes I would ask one parent and they would say, "Well what did your father say," or, "Wha
