Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?

what are 5 reasons and examples why kids and teenagers wish they were older/adults?Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?
It's because being grown up seems glamorous to kids. Adults do whatever they want, go wherever they want and get whatever they want without someone else's permission. But the kids don't see that there's a level of responsibility behind that freedom. Adults have to work hard and support themselves before even thinking of having fun.Why do kids and teenagers wish they were adults?
5. Ability to have sexual intercourse without anyone catching you and telling your parents, all of a sudden you are in trouble.





Example: Tom has sex with Mia in the basement because he does not want his mom and dad to know that he is having sex or even has a girlfriend





4. More Choices, the ability to make a choice as to where you want to move to instead of just settle in one boring town for the rest of your life or just one city. Some can describe it as freedom.





Example: Sarah is 16 yrs old and lives in Boringsville, Alabama. Sarah wants to live in Miami, but she cannot because she is only 16 and does not have a good paying job/career yet. Sarah wishes she was an adult.





3. No more high school. Yes for some reason teenagers think that high school is a pain and cannot wait until they graduate. Most teenagers want to live the good life and make a lot of money but they cannot do that because they have to take the SAT and keep up a certain GPA. Teenagers think that when they become adults they will not have the high school drama.





Example: Mallory goes to Gossiptowns High School. Mallory is a good person and she gets A's and B's on her report card. Exams are coming up and Mallory is taking AP Classes. Mallory is stressed and feels like she is backed up into the corner and cannot get out. To make matters worse, Alexa is gossiping about Mallory and spreading lies about her. Mallory has the gossip and the hard classes to deal with, Mallory wishes high school was over with and that she was an adult.





2. Career. Yes we teens are all tired of being simple high school students judged on grades and going to the same building over and over again throughout the whole year with the exception of a 2 1/2 month break. Teens want to be able to do a job they like and get paid for it, teens do not want to be stuck up on books.





Example : Jerry watches Monday Night Football, but Jerry has to go to sleep early since he has school tomorrow. Jerry wishes he could stay up late and be somewhere outside of his house or outside of the city/town he lives in.





1. Money - the one thing that makes the world go round. Teenagers wish they could have that new Benz or that new house but they do not have the money for it. The main thing that makes teenagers wish they were adults, and no, a job at chick fila and the money you make there does not cut it.





Example: I can think up of millions, but I am sure you know what I am talking about.
I think they see adults as the ones with the money, making the decisions, having the power,


being able to drive, and can't think of another one.
They think it means ';freedom'; because it seems adults get to do whatever they want. They don't realize that adults rarely get to have fun when they have to work....and they don't realize all the responsiblity that comes with it.





That is the only reason to me.
lol, i don't!!!!!!!!!
