Top Ten Reasons Why It Sucks to Be 12

This sucks! I'm 13 now finally, but for real, when I was 12, literally every website says, "You need to be 13." Twelve-year-olds act exactly or almost like teenagers. Better than needing to be 18, I guess.

Good thing I'm turning 14 this year. Oh, and by the way, you could always use a fake age on these sorts of sites.

Dear older sisters: We get it. You are now a teenager and get Facebook. Good for you. That is still not an excuse to boss us around.

"Haha I'm born in 2005-2006. I am superior to the uncultured swines who are born in 2007-2009."

Shut up. Your ageist attitude is no better than the apparent immaturity in those born between 2007 and 2009.

Use your own email. Parents delete these messages without reading them.

It makes no difference apparently. Prior to my teenhood, I'd watched all genres of media aimed at different demographics and audiences. I find this restrictive limitation of freedom purposeless. If the film or movie had hyper-realistic gore and blood, that is understandable, but if not, why place the restriction in the first place?

I think if someone is still 12 but completely understands that scenes in movies and lyrics in songs shouldn't be taken too seriously, they should be allowed to watch or listen to whatever they want.

I can't even have social media because my dad thinks I'm not responsible.

People hardly ever take you seriously when you're a kid. I'm sick of it.

Dude, I'm almost 20. My dad wouldn't let me order from the Adult's menu until I turned 13.

I have to take my bike or roller blades everywhere.

That's because you still are one.

I'm old enough now. I don't need supervision for anything.

This sadly doesn't change until you turn 16 or so.
