Personal Narrative Essay: Growing Up And Being A Teenage

Improved Essays
A few years ago like when I was 11 or 12 a lot of things were going through my mind of growing up and being a teenager. I knew this was going to be a big step for me and my surroundings, but I was ready for it. A thing that I always kept in my mind was turning 15 fast because my parents were always really strict with us. One of the things that they didn't let us do is put on makeup or paint our nails. I hated that because all my friends would do it and I was the only one that wasn't allowed to. At that moment another thing that was in my mind was going out with my friends like to the movies or just basically anywhere to have fun. My parents did let me go out but not as much and if so an adult had to be with us but I wanted to go with my …show more content…
One way thing that I do to have fun at this age is going to 15 or just going parties in general. What I do at parties is dance which I love dancing and I enjoy it very much. I also catch up with friends and sometimes make new friends. Hanging out with friends is also another way I have fun and socialize with them. I can go watch a movie, go skating, or play a sport with them. One of my favorite things doing when I hang out with my friends is going to the mall or going to a makeup store. Another thing that I do to have fun is bake. I love baking cookies, cupcakes, and cakes I just love the outcome of it. Growing up I always wanted to be a chef and probably have my own restaurant so baking is something I enjoy and have fun with.
Being educated is also an important thing in a teenagers life. The way I’m getting educated is of course at school which I had and still, I’m learning many new things. Another way I get educated is from my parents and they have always been there for me. They teach me the right from wrong and how to always be respectful no matter what. They teach me to live an active life, express my feelings, and how to cook. A thing that my parents say that I love and taught me was “give you will receive even more than you gave.” My church is also a way I get educated by making me keep my faith strong and to always help

    The hardest thing I’ve ever went through? Let me take you back to almost three years ago to a very cold Thursday morning in January. I was sitting in history class when suddenly something very strange happened; the announcement speakers came on. To most people it would seem like it was a very typical day to day event to listen to announcements; but at my school announcements were rarely ever said. My classroom got completely silent; to the point where you could have heard a pin drop.…

    Growing up I was the second child, my sister and I was seven years apart. My childhood days consisted of me sitting in my room playing with my toys. I only played with other children, if my cousins came over. I was very different; I was a tall boy with short hair. I didn’t like the skin I was in too much, because I always got picked on in school.…

    Growing up, I was always the shy kid. I never spoke up in class, and if I ever got called on by a teacher my heart would just about stop beating and my whole body would begin to shake. When I did speak, my voice was so quiet you could barely decipher a word of what I was saying. I hated all kinds of attention, good or bad. Even when I got invited to classmate’s birthday parties in elementary school, the effort that had to be taken to bring myself to knock on the door was almost insurmountable.…

In brief description essentialist is how one perceives themselves during situations they cannot control, and deterministic is things that can be controlled by prior conditions, such as decision making. Using the following quote which is about a child’s experience back in the 1915 “And according to the law I was damned.

    Eleven By oakley The analogy from the story Eleven might be about how it is hard to grow up, and it is, and how growing up doesn't stop people from being rude to you. But also this is not the most helpful storr when it comes to thinking about growing up. I have evidence that the analogy might be about how it is hard to grow up. My evidence is “Only today I wish I didn't have only eleven years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box” because you are still young, but still don't know gaughf, because of this: “"That's not, I don't , you’re not...…

    Freshmen year was honestly pretty good I had a lot of friends and had a lot of fun in my classes with them, going into Brunswick High School I was a little bit nervous just the fact I would be at the bottom of the totem pole now and would possibly be picked on by the older kids but it turned out to be just a myth, but some of them were definitely scary looking. Some other things I was afraid of was what the class load would be like I didn't know exactly how much tougher it would be but it honestly wasn't to much tougher than middle school. The teachers here were fairly nice didn't have many problems with them but they did definitely hold your behavior to a higher standard. High school was a change from middle school definitely just because…

    Amber has been a friend of mine since we met in Fourth Grade. We were in the same grade, went to the same school, and shared many classes together. We both belong to the school band and both played the oboe. For several years in Junior High, we were official BFF's (Best Friends Forever), enjoying such typical adolescent girl activities as sleepovers, movies, (Yes, we both loved the Twilight series at the time) and incessant texting. We were similar in so many ways.…

    Growing up I was set to believe that high school was going to be difficult for me , and many of my teachers had their doubts that I couldn't move up to the 9th grade. During my years in middle school were possibly the funnest years of my life, but I knew I only had three years till things got really serious. Keeping up with school and focusing on getting into college was all that was told to be on your mind. Many thought I wasn't prepared because of how I acted in the classroom and how I behaved. Having fun and being with my friends was all that had been on my mind.…

    My Life as a Teen Mom I belong to a crowd of young, strong, independent teen moms. What does a “Teen Mom” actually mean? It’s a term that people occasionally bash us, teen moms, with. Most of the outside population blame us for being a teen mom because they say we ruined our lives and will never have a successful future. Some may say that a teen mom is just someone who gets pregnant and has a baby at a really young age.…

    There was an aura about the dirty park gazebo that felt like home for an angry fourteen year old. In a circle, backs pressed against cement walls, sweaty arms stuck together, was a group of kids that I found would be my family. The ground below us was covered with shards of glass and miscellaneous remnants from the night before as if to mark our territory with trash. It was a shabby old building, covered in graffiti, and it was dark after nine. But to a crowd of brooding teenagers, it was a bunker inside of a warzone: high school.…

    The minimum driving age should not be raised from 16 to 18. In my opinion, teens already have a problem getting where they need to go considering their transportation is usually their parents. By the time they come home from work they are too exhausted to drive anywhere else. Starting out early than waiting until one becomes a legal adult to drive gives a teenager an opportunity to exercise responsibility and to have some independence. Just because teens are prone to do reckless, irresponsible things does not necessarily mean they will get into accidents because they are younger.…
