Life As A Teenager 2010 Version

Hey There Everyone,
      As you should all know by now I am a teenager in the year 2010. I am going to celebrate my 17th birthday tomorrow. I am excited for it, although I don't want to grow up. I like being a teenager. We have it so easy! It's a shame that most kids my age just want to get out of school, get a job and grow up. I do not know if they choose not to think about the bills, the stress of making enough money to eat, the stress of a job, what about bad employers?? There are so many things that we don't see and realize about being "all grown up". Taxes, rent, mortgage, food, gas, electricity bills, heating bills, car payments, loans, mutual funds, etc. There are so many hidden disadvantages to being an adult. I am glad that I am a teenager, yet I am excited to see what I will become. I know that once I get "old" I will look back on my teenage rebellious days and think 'hmm if only I could go back to then'. I hate to keep this so short but the bell is about to ring so I have to turn off the computer.
