I don't want to grow up.

[helix]

Immaturity, aversion to responsibility, childishness, and bullshit.

Growing old is a waste of time

Indeed. Seems like I'm being forced to do it though...

There are no rules about growing up, just expectations.

If your happier being immature then your mates will have to live with it.

Its not so bad anyway, light heartedness is something we all need.

Just be prepared to watch your mates start getting on with life while your left in your little bubble.

I'm happier being immature, but I need a job to pay for shit.

Win some, loose some.

I think being immature is the key to not getting stressed out. Thats priceless.

ive basically stayed at home smoking weed daily and doing nothing productive (except learning to produce) since i finished highschool 2 years ago because i dont want to grow up. i hate thinking about responsibilities and i do not want to wake up early every day to go to some bullshit job that i hate. i absolutely hate getting out of bed before ive had enough sleep and have grown extremely used to sleeping untill i am not tired every day. though i just turned 21 2 days ago, i know that i cannot do this much longer, thank god my parents are awsome and continue to support me. my dream would to be to get good enough at producing to get some decent tunes and get recognized and possibly start doing shows live though thats still pretty far down the road, but ya, fuck growing up for now.

Ive grown up too fast. Im 19 and ive been in a full time 9-5 job for 3 years (since i left school). If i could go back in time i would definately have gone to college and uni so i could have pissed about for a few more years like most of my friends. I'll just have to have a few years of being immature when i retire to make up for it.

[Dead Rats]

Had this discussion not too long back, basically I said I wish I was 17 again, I then pretty much got called a tnuc and told to deal with it.

So yeah, that's how it is. Shit happens.

[deepfiend]

I'd love to go back to the times when i could shit my pants, talk incomprehensible babble, wear a bib, cry till i pass out and be entertained by Brum and yet still be called a 'blessing' to my parents.

what does it mean to grow up? what is immature? I have done things & seen things that are beyond words. i have learned alot in my 28 years. Have i grown up? yes... i understand so much & can see things most wouldn't think of. But ay... i still fart in my kids faces, i have a fucking messy as studio, i still ride a bike though puddles for the joy of it, i still pick shrooms, make absurd jokes without thinking, wear bare feet almost always, play on swings. Ya don't have to become a sheep just because you get older! but ay i take way too much acid, party harder than most & love life! My mum asks me when i will grow up.. i say never!! I have been in a relationship for 10 years.. my eldest is 9. I should have died in a car crash, I have been beaten & left for dead. life is for living!!! not for walking around in a suit taking orders all day. I don't think i can grow up, just grow wiser! Chea

I don't want to grow up

Then don't.

Two of my best mates are both 19/20. One of them lives with his parents smoking weed all day and doesn't have a job and the other has a flat, car and a full time job. Anyone who is in their 20's who doesn't have a job and lives with their parents....sort it the fuck out. My mate who just smokes weed all day is an inspiration for me to not be a loser. I'm the opposite of you tbh, i'm 17 and i can't wait to go to uni and be independent. If you're just gonna sit in a room not doing anything productive and not helping society, why be alive...? I'm hoping to God that i will grow out of drugs by the time i leave uni, weed is great at my age but when im older i hope i have more important things to do with my time than get high lol. Don't get me wrong, my mates dad lived in Jamaica organising concerts for people like Lee Perry and smoking weed all day and he has had the sickest life, but that's different to just sitting in a room being unemployed and smoking away your sorrows. And i'm not having a go at dudes who smoke weed loads, i've got a mate who works his ass off all day and when he's done he comes home and gets baked, he earned it so why not? But when you haven't earned it it's not the same.

Edit* as for immaturity, everyone needs to chill and have a laugh, but you can do that whatever age you are and whatever you're doing, you don't need to be a bum to have a good time.

I've been thinking about this subject lately..

As of now I kind of "grew up" last november by moving to another country on my own and working a fulltime job.

I'm at my job right now, and I don't like the work. Sure I can go on dsf and facebook - but that's not the key to happiness. This building will be demolished soon and the job will move over to another country. I've been offered to come along, with a payrise and everything. I'd also stop being employed by an agency. So I will get a permanent contract... On the other hand, I'm 20 years old (young) and my school carreer is laughable. It is not yet too late to start some form of education, but the problem is living.

Since I've moved out only about 6 months ago I really can't call mum and say "Yo dude I'm coming home and going to school again". I've fucked up school too many times, and mum just won't pay for it anymore.

The carreer opportunities are great if I move with the company, but I really, really dislike the work.

Hard motherfucking decision.

theres a guy in my a level physics class who's 34. He said he fucked up his education and ended up in a dead end job and thought fuck it i'll start again. You've got another 14 years if you think of it that way. He'll still be able to go to uni and then into a new career. One of my friends hashed up his education and went into a full time job and now his work are paying for him to go to college and then uni. You could try and secure something like that?

mate find something you like doing and study it part time, im 24 - sitting a maths a level in january and loving it. there are plenty of correspondence and part time courses at colleges. sure you have to spend a few quid and put some effort in - but its one step back, two steps forward-.

I have a decent wage and a house and am one of the older people here but I don't think of myself as grown up! It causes some issues with my bosses sometimes but *shrug* I'm still better at doing what I do than the other people I work with. "Act like a grown up" and "Grow up!" are such silly phrases that mean absolutely nothing. It's such a stupid assumption that the process of growing older should go hand-in-hand with life being less enjoyable and more serious. The only thing growing older should do is give you more experience to fall back on so you do things sensibly rather than make a numpty of yourself. Unfortunately, most "grown up" people don't seem to care to apply this experience to do better. Which goes a long way to explaining why the world is in its current state.
