Thirteen Personal Narritive

"Uhm... Are you sure this is a good idea? " I mumbled, worry lacing my voice as i fell in beside my friend. "Oh hush, ive been down here plenty of times without any issues! " "Yea, okay. But your Fifteen, im only thirteen and im going down some REALLY creepy alleyway, getting stared at by everyone... " i pulled my jacket tighter over my chest, looking around only to see some older men staring at me. At least, i HOPE these old men wernt looking at my friend who, HAPPENED to be a guy. One of the MANY things hate about being thirteen.

Yea i get it, people are always saying how excited they are to be thirteen, but i really dont understand all the hype its getting. I mean, sure. You get to stay up a lot, go out more often, and say more things around your parents. I wont say it here though, only because (breaking the fourth wall a little here) Mrs Yanos would be really mad at me. Now, let me tell you about being thirteen while i fix this stupid wall. Now, people say that thirteen is when you start having fun! You get to do so much more than other kids! To that I say, do we really?

I mean, every age has its perks, and were NATURALLY gonna have more freedom than the previous age. Its just society. If you turn 8, you get more freedom and responsibilities than when you were 7. Its just life. Thirteen doesnt even have that many special perks. Can you drive? No, not for another year. Can you drink? No, you have to wait five more years to drink. The only thing you get at Thirteen is more responsibilities! Hooray.......!

Speaking of responsibilities, you get PLENTY of those when your Thirteen. heres what i have to do because im thirteen. I have to start looking for a job. Not anything big, just a simple paper route or babysitting, I do both. You have to start being better in school. I mean, your going into highschool!no way highschool is gonna be easy. That being said, highschool is supposed to be the age where you go to parties and such! You dont want school weighing you down. So is its better to have good grades NOW. And thats something i dont think im doing too hot in. You have to start doing more around the house! Now this would be fine, if you wernt already swamped with school work, stress, and jobs!! All of this while your still trying to find time to hang out with your friends, do the stuff that YOU wannna do, and actually have fun!! Like, were still kids! were SUPPOSED to have fun! Not be swamped with all this other stuff.

Worst part is, people always say, "Oh, youre young! You dont ave anything to be stressted about." As if our feelings dont matter! Sure, YOU my not have had to deal with stress and Anxiety, but we do! And youre not even listening, and what you said implies that NOBODY will listen! Maybe this is just my own experiance, but honestly, it really sucks.

So all in all, being Thirteen comes with nothing good. The only thing it comes with stress, lonliness, and bad habits. Im saying bad habits because almost all of my friends have done something very bad and very addictive. So, no. I dont think that Thirteen is this great number sent by the heavens llike most people do. I actually hate it. nothiing is different about it, excep for negative changes. Again, maybe this is my own experiances and world view talking here, but being Thirteen is a pile of feces. Thank you for your time.
