Grrrrrrrrrowing, we do it everyday!

It's hard to think of anything more tumultuous or unavoidable than growing up. It's something everyone has to do, with the exclusion of Peter Pan, of course. Growing up can be hard. As a child you make very few of your own decisions, and you just have to deal with what's thrown your way. This can be frustrating, as some of the decisions made by others can directly affect your own life, and can seem cruel or unfair. On the other hand, though, growing up can be the most exciting thing ever. When you're a kid, everything is new, unknown, and ready to be explored. You learn, see, and experience new things constantly. As you grow and learn, you get to do more and more new things. Not all experiences that people go though as they grow up are more exciting than scary. Terrible things can happen as you go through your life, but they help make you the person that you are, just as the happy and exciting things do.
