From the land called Childhood, we all have to go to adulthood. There are a lot of amazing things waiting for us there, but also no less responsibility, problems and things to do. Having experienced our own transition into this period of life, we see how it soon comes again, only in the person of our children. At this moment they really need help and support. It is also necessary for those who, despite their advanced age, still behave like a child. Quotes about growing up will be a great ally in this.
Time for mistakes
As people get older, they try new roles for the first time: student, colleague, girlfriend, wife, father. But no one gave clear instructions on how to behave correctly in each of them. It is not known for sure which choice will lead to a dead end and which will open many doors to a better life.
Therefore, the art of growing up has to be mastered on the fly, which is simply impossible to do perfectly. It is through trial and error that a person learns about the world around him, and then about himself in it. Mistakes must be treated with patience, because first of all it is experience. In this case, there are several quotes about growing up.
“Dad, for God’s sake, I’m already fifteen,” Jenna heard Paige grumble when they returned last Sunday. - And you treat me like a little child.
But you asked for help yourself,” Jack protested.
Help, rather than do everything yourself. I need someone who will do what is asked and maybe make suggestions if they are appropriate. Not someone who thinks he knows everything.
But I really do know.
Paige couldn't help but smile.
But I’m learning,” she reminded Jack. “I have to learn, and sometimes that means making a mistake and then finding my own solution.”
(Susan Lewis. "Don't Leave the House").
They say that everyone makes mistakes when they are young. But I don't think we make fewer mistakes as we get older.
(Jodi Picoult. “Nineteen Minutes”).
Some events are not worth preventing. Sometimes you have to feel like a fool. Sometimes you have to experience pain in front of everyone. Sometimes it is necessary to grow up, to move on to another day.
(Jodi Picoult. “An Angel for a Sister”).
Sudden Realization
People around notice how the child turns into a teenager, and then into a young guy or girl. Surprisingly, this process sometimes remains hidden for the person himself. And the realization that people close to you no longer treat you like you’re a funny little kid can hit like an avalanche. A few seconds - and everything changed. There is no turning back. The main thing is not to panic, because this is a much more interesting stage of life. Less adult control (though not always), more opportunities. Here are a few quotes about growing up that convey the feelings of a person who has realized that childhood is completely gone.
I guess that's what growing up is: the strings that hold you up fall away, and you have to stand on your own two feet.
(Alan Bradley. “The thrice-speckled cat meowed”).
It seems to you that you are growing up gradually, but, damn it, one day it will hit you like a branch in the forest, let go by someone walking ahead.
(Film “Love Me If You Dare”).
I think I've finally realized what it means to grow up. You know, it's always been interesting, but it's easy. This is when you have to decide whether to do one way or another. But no one will help you with this.
(Film "Skins").
Parents and children
It is very difficult for parents to accept the fact that their children have become adults. Just a few years ago, kids couldn’t do without their participation, but now everything has changed. It will no longer be possible to control their destiny, which means you may end up out of work altogether. Now you just have to watch their decisions, and how well you raised them will determine how often you will be upset. This is confirmed by quotes about children growing up that are known to the world.
Parents hate it when their children start living their own lives. This means that we become simply spectators.
(Film “10 Things I Hate About You”).
We are unlucky with children - they always grow up to be adults.
(Christopher Morley).
A young man always faces the same problem: how to be a rebel and a conformist at the same time? He solves it by rebelling against his parents and copying his peers.
(Quentin Crisp).
Adult children
Since growing up is a difficult period, some people put it off as long as possible. And if the biological clock cannot be slowed down, then the state of mind and worldview can be slowed down.
The result is a kind of adult child who looks like a middle-aged man or woman, but behaves as if he is still twenty. This is not entirely correct. There should be fun and a certain amount of extravagance in life, but if you get bogged down in them, then later you can realize with bitterness that life has passed you by. Everything in it has its time and place. In order not to be unfounded, here are a few quotes about growing up on this topic.
Allowing a child everything means treating him like an adult; and this is the surest way to ensure that he never becomes an adult.
(Thomas Szasz).
- You know, sometimes relationships lack a certain dimension, and children, growing up, begin to realize that they were not given enough.
- Oh yeah. Adult children have many complaints.
(Alice Munro. "The Fugitive").
Growing up is a terribly difficult thing. It is much easier to jump from one childhood to another.
(Francis Scott Fitzgerald).
There's no need to rush
As children, many people desperately want to grow up. It’s so tempting to decide on your own what to wear in the morning, whether to wash your face for breakfast, how much candy to eat during the day. When a child is driven by more serious motives to grow up, he can lose a lot. Thinking about adult problems when your peers are still kicking a ball in the yard is a mistake. This can be learned from quotes about childhood and growing up. Parents must certainly protect their child’s childhood and let them experience all its delights before they have to move on.
Don't rush to grow up. Stay a boy for as long as you can, because once you lose the magic of childhood, you won’t be able to get it back, no matter how hard you try.
(Robert McCammon. “A Boy’s Life. Book 2. People and Ghosts”).
At almost eleven years old, she already intuitively felt how a certain mysterious veil was shifting, separating her from the amazing and magnificent state of maturity. The same feeling sometimes made her behave rather strangely. Recently, she has gotten into the habit of walking the distance between home and school wearing white lace gloves. Her parents, without further ado, defined their daughter’s state of mind with the word “crazy.”
(Graham Joyce. “The Tooth Fairy”).
Conclusion
Everyone grows up one day. And yes, this time is not always associated with freedom and independence. Sometimes it looks like a string of urgent tasks intertwined with a bunch of duties and responsibilities.
However, you should not close yourself off from youth and youth forever. Remember what you were like at this time, allow yourself to at least sometimes become like that again.
As you grow older, every person who never intended to betray you probably will. Perhaps your heart will be broken more than once, and each time it will be more and more difficult. You will break hearts yourself, so remember what it feels like to have your heart broken. You will fight with your best friend. You will blame the new love for what the old one was guilty of. You'll cry because time flies too fast and you'll accidentally miss someone you love, so take lots of photos, laugh even more than you should, and love like you've never felt pain before because every The sixty seconds you spend in sadness is one minute of happiness that you will never get back.
(Andy Biersack).

We want to get out of this nest as quickly as possible and don’t even think about the fact that it’s cold outside, damn cold.
We grow up and change our environment.
And until we can finally get back on our feet, we will remain alone. From the series Grey's Anatomy / Grey's Anatomy I heard we can grow up. But I haven’t yet met anyone who has succeeded. From the series Grey's Anatomy / Grey's Anatomy Remember when you were little, your biggest worries were whether you'd get a bike for your birthday or whether you'd be allowed to eat cake for breakfast? But when you became adults, everything changed... Seriously! Don't be fooled by the sight of new shoes, great sex and lack of parental care. Being an adult means being responsible. Responsibility is terrible. Everything is very bad. Adults need to go to different places, do different things, earn money, pay rent, and if you are a surgeon who holds a human heart in his hands - hello, that’s responsibility! A bicycle and cakes are just flowers, aren't they? And the worst thing is when you make a mistake and there is nothing you can do... We are adults. When did it happen? How to stop this? Responsibility is terrible! Unfortunately, childhood and adolescence pass too quickly, but the responsibility remains with us. It cannot be avoided. Either we face it or we experience the consequences. And yet, adult life has its own charms: I’m talking about shoes, sex, lack of parental care - it’s so great! Quotes about responsibility From the game Alice: Madness Returns... the fact is that while you are small, you can see what is invisible to you when you are big. Quotes about understanding, Wise quotes From the movie "The Breakfast Club" When you grow up, the heart dies... Quotes about the heart, Quotes about death From aphorisms and quotes by Andre Maurois A careless word - and the child grows up; deceived love - and the person becomes bitter. Quotes about deception, Quotes about cruelty From aphorisms and quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe If children grew up in accordance with our expectations, we would only produce geniuses. Quotes about children, Quotes about waiting From the movie Take My Soul- We are already 16 years old, Bug. Whether you like it or not, we are already men.

- To become a man, you need to pretend that you are a man?
- Exactly. You can't run away, you need to face your fear face to face.
- Even if I’m not a man?..
- Especially! The better you pretend, the more of a man you become.
- Just pretend?
- Well, yes. When you're scared, pretend that you don't care. If someone hurts you, say, “Thank you very much, that was great.” Quotes about masculinity, Quotes about fear From the film House of the Sun- Take off your rose-colored glasses, childhood is over! It's time to grow up!
- It's disgusting.
- Not disgusting, but correct.
