I’m scared (tw venting + slight mention of abuse, stay safe <3)

So I know this will sound silly mostly because this app is mostly none minors. Which is cool and like power to y’all, especially those who managed to make it this far when they hadn’t thought they would. But I’m 14 and I feel like terrified about getting older. Which doesn’t even make sense because I live in an unsafe household, my father is an alcoholic, and cps has been in and out of my life on literally all 4 main cases of abuse. Which is still an on going issue in my life. I want to get away from it all, but I don’t want to be an adult. I’m scared. The thought of someone asking how old I am and having to respond anything higher than 18 makes me feel sick. I don’t like the idea of people seeing me like that. I don’t like the responsibility. I don’t like the implications of being an adult. I barely had a childhood whilst I’m still technically “living” it. I’m just scared of being the same person I am today with double the pressures.

being an adult can be scary (I'm barely an adult) but honestly the freedom trumps the fear. also being older isn't what gives you responsibilities. some 17 year olds have the world on their shoulders but that just makes them stronger.

I didn't think I'd make it past 18 yet here I am in college. I'm aware that I'm still dumb asf and have a adolescent brain and other (real) adults understand that too so I'm not really treated like an adult yet, which is comforting.

being an adult is inevitable but the world is only what you make it. when you get older just do whatever you want. fuck taxes I don't even know what that is yet. drivers license? fuck that too I don't wanna do it. I take the bus everywhere. my room has pink hello kitty posters and im 20, fuck interior designs. I don't live like ppl my age cuz that's so depressing. so I just do what I want, you need to do the same. make it to 18 please, I know you can!!!
