Top Ten Worst Things About Being a Kid
I'm going back to school in 4 weeks, and I'm dreading the torture of work and homework I'm going to get for 10 months again!
School on its own wasn't so bad. But when homework comes into play, it becomes the equivalent of federal prison.
Homework is a big hassle since we already learn and work at school, then we have activities at home.
I kinda like school because I can talk to friends, but school is super boring. The teachers give you high expectations, there's too much homework and drama, and I'm not interested in any boys because nearly all of them are bossy and they tell me what to do.
I'm in 7th grade and it's horrible for me. The little 6th graders are full-of-themselves, childish-clothe-wearing, attention-seeking new kids, and 8th graders don't care about anything except their future and their love bugs.
Middle school is the home of all drama and nightmares. Way worse than high school.
When I was in the third grade, there was this kid named Brady who always said I was a baby because I watched Rugrats. Same thing with a kid named Aiden.
Bullies are the main problem. There are some annoying and boastful students who attack others just for fun. That's so mean.
I started getting bullied in 2012 when I started 1st grade, and I still occasionally get cyberbullied to this day, 10 years later.
When I was the youngest (before my little brother was born), my two older sisters would draw on my face every night when I was sleeping. A year later, I decided to draw on their faces to show them how it feels when they are being pranked.
I have an older sister, a younger brother, and a younger sister. My older sister's calm, while my younger ones NEVER get along together.
I really wish I were an only child. It would make life much easier.
When I was younger, if someone gave me food I didn't like, I would always throw it in the trash afterward. I don't do that anymore.
Sometimes, when my parents give me yogurt with blueberries, I put the berries in the garbage disposal in our sink.
Even though I'm served something I do not like, I can still try it. I wish to start over and eat foods I do not like at all.
I don't play 18-rated games. I just play 12-rated games or Minecraft. I feel so sorry for those minors being told that they can't play 18-rated games until they're actually 18.
I wasn't allowed to play the game until I was 15. Everyone else I knew started playing at 7-12.
Those stupid adults think you actually have to be 18 to play 18+ games.
The worst! I won many kart races without crashing, and I still can't drive. Note: I live in Brazil, so I have to be 18 to drive.
My mom actually said that kids shouldn't be allowed to drive until they're 18-20 years old.
If you really think about it, you are never able to cope with life until adulthood. That is not a fault of the child, but of the parent and the system. You learn to cope with life once you are unable to rely on others, which is when you are finally alone.
Parents won't teach you to cope with life because they can't cope with losing control. From birth, they neglect to teach you skills and increasingly do everything for you. They cannot stand a child who can do things for themselves because it is a threat to the status quo.
If you really think about how many times they complain about you, command you, talk down to you, and embarrass you, you start to realize that the only way to get respect and a say in your life is to move out.
In addition, children who may have sufficient competence do not get to make any decisions. In fact, you are constantly monitored, told to carry a phone, have no privacy or secrecy, and even have major life choices made for you. If you attempt to get out of a parent's sight or learn independence, you are disciplined for "age-inappropriate" behavior.
Your childhood is all about control, and it stems from ageism and a society that tolerates it. You are a prisoner to your parents, and as long as it's either socially acceptable to others or brilliantly covered up, they can do anything they want to you.
As you are deprived of sufficient life skills that you can pass on to your offspring, you, too, can become an even worse parent.
You end up waiting years before being old enough to do something. Once you become old enough, they change the rules to where you have to be even older. You end up dying before becoming old enough.
When I was like 7 or 8, I cried because I couldn't play the PS2 or Monopoly with my older cousins. Even though I was technically old enough for both, my older cousins and my mom wouldn't let me play with them.
I wanna watch Sherlock (the one with Benedict Cumberbatch). I guess I'll just have to wait. I mean, it's not really a bad thing. If I started watching now and if I finished it, I'd still have to wait for the other seasons to come out.
Ok, look, not all girls only care about fashion. I don't care about fashion one bit. I care about my dog, my friends, my family, my music, being myself, and not letting other people tell me who to be or what to be.
I like punk music and I'm proud of it. I love artists and bands like Avril Lavigne, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Sum 41, and Blink-182, along with many others. I also like Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes.
I love wolves and my dog Coco. She is the best. She was there when others weren't. My best friend was always there with her Supernatural, Marvel, AC/DC, and her 80s-ish style. There is a lot more I have to say, but I'm actually tired right now.
My birthday is in August and Christmas is in December, so the 8-month gap in between is torture.
Yeah, this is annoying. The only things you get that you want are at Christmas and on your birthday. It's so unfair! My birthday is in January and Christmas is in December! I once ordered this Kidizoom and my mum said I could get it for Christmas! Which is 2 months away. That is 61 days! It's like the parents get EVERYTHING and your days are Christmas and birthday.
Shows like South Park look fun, and the swearing is blocked! There are also other animated adult shows that are safe but still don't allow kids to watch!
I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was 15, and I can't even watch Breaking Bad for the rest of my life.
Fine by me, but I would like to see Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon.
Yes, especially when your parents have to check your computer.
Some of the clothes are much too big. I need to find clothes that fit my size. So, I need smaller clothes.
I'm 15 and wear a size 0 in women's clothing, so this is sadly a problem for me. I always find clothing in a size small, but rarely an extra small for some reason. This is one of the struggles of being naturally thin. :(
Yeah, finding clothes that suit me is so hard. The dress is too big, and the shoes are too small!
I've been short since 3rd grade and I've dealt with it forever. I'm a freshman and I am still short. I just ignore people and go on with my day.
I'm 14 and a half and I am 4'11". I haven't grown in about 3 years. Everyone in my family is short, and I hate it.
You can't help this. Everyone has a different height, and that doesn't affect their personality.
Boys in puberty just sweat a lot and stuff, but GIRLS. Girls get big boobs, which are annoying when I'm doing stuff I do as a tomboy. They get periods and cramps, and they have it earlier. Not fair.
Deserves to be 1. I, to this day, try my absolute hardest to hide the fact that I am curvy and have breasts. I don't get how any other girl is happy with it. Even something as simple as a t-shirt makes me feel uncomfortable.
I feel sorry for those tween girls growing breasts when they're like 8 or 9 and their moms are like, "We need to get you fully fitted for a bra!"
How is this only 25th? Although I think it's only necessary when a kid heavily misbehaves, child abuse is wrong even if spankings are not severe.
It kinda sucks. Especially when you can tell nobody's parents do this but yours.
It's not that she doesn't ever understand, but sometimes she just doesn't... it's annoying. She doesn't understand the things of today's generation. Ok, ok, a few things are bad, really bad.
But she just met my friend Rutvi once, and because of her tantrums and stupidity, she says to ignore her. And two of my other friends support my mother...? Sarah and Yukta support her...
I get redo tickets when I get bad grades.
Me: There's a bomb in the building!
Person: Are you lost?
Test: *three definitions for bugs but not a bug in the game*
Me: *raises hand*
Teacher: Yes?
Me: There is another definition for bug, I -
Teacher: Oh! Blah blah blah.
When I was little, I took Dimetapp, Triaminic, and Robitussin whenever I was sick or coughing. While they all taste bad (especially the grape-flavored ones), the worst brand has got to be Triaminic. I especially hated the grape-flavored one. I would throw a fit and run away whenever I had to take it. I even had to be physically restrained. (Yeah, it was that bad).
The only good flavor was orange. I'm now 26 and I still hate the taste of any liquid medication, but I can tolerate it much better.
So I remember at a house party at my house when me and my bro were sent to whilst everyone stayed downstairs.I asked why everyone was staying up but my mom replied with "Because they're adults and they can go to bed whenever they like".But guys, isn't that discriminatory?
My mom used to make me and my siblings go to bed at 4:30 every day, even during the weekends and during summer. They stayed up until 11:00.
