When you're young, adults tell you that you have your whole life ahead of you. They tell you not to rush your childhood because it comes and goes faster than you think. But my childhood? It was kind of like playing a video game. Only I wasn't the one with the controller.... Which isn't bad at first. Little ones need guidance, support, to be told what to do because they're too young to make those decisions on their own. However, after a certain point, said children need to be able to make decisions for themselves. I may only be an almost adult to all of the real adults, but that doesn't make me any less capable of making decisions. I am eighteen. I'm not in any need of your assistance in things like what to eat for dinner or if I need help cutting my steak. I can cut my own damn steak.
