Leaving and growing up

Today we got our leavers jumpers, and it got me to realise wow were going into the world and expecatiations are now high, and i was always told that we will Save the world, conquer the universe and live happily ever after, simple right? That’s what we want to believe, correct?, like we were 5 again, when we get told, don’t talk to strangers, always tell the truth, and one day you will meet prince charming and live a wonderful life, but no one warned us about what “real” life is all about. No one would tell us stories about Santa one day and then the next day tell us we would probably get heartbroken, no one prepared us for the reality of life and how that. when we get to the age of 16 that we would forget the feeling of not being tired, or how when we are 16 we should immediately be sent into the world to start job hunting and how we are expected to become adults, growing up is the thing that frightens us all but the thing that scares me the most is the thought that if were this stressed, worried and had so much life experience already, than how will be in 10 years to come? Is our generation growing up way before our time?
