Is it just me, or does anyone else spend their entire childhood wishing they were an adult but when they reach adulthood, realize that they want to be a child again?

Is it just me or do adults romanticize their teenage years? I've been stressed to death for the past two years and adults tell me I have no clue what it's like to feel stress (I'm on the older end of the teen spectrum, and I have more on my plate with school than I physically have time for -- I've done the math). I get that there's downsides to adulthood, but it's not at all as if my life has been carefree for a while.

Is it just me, or:

the whole culture where people treat pets like their first born child weird?? Generally I used to be able to count on not running into barely restrained dogs in a dang department store. Service animals ofc I don't have a problem with, but emotional support animals start getting into iffy territory sin ce there's barely any regulation, then people just... stopped caring. Dude's ESA dog ate my food in a school cafeteria, people take their pets into department stores and just let them do what they want. We had livestock guard dogs for a while and people got mad they lived outside. JFC, they had shelter, food, water, dry beds, they LIVED OUTSIDE TO GUARD OUR LIVESTOCK.

Is it just me or is the world terrifying? I'm 15 right now, and I am so scared of my inevitable future. Taxes, voting, bills, living alone, getting a job. I decided 3 years ago that I'm never having/getting kids, but as a woman I feel so pressured. I know I'm not going to give into that though. I ask myself if I wanna get married, but relationships are weird, I've learned that. i hate the idea of growing up, because everything is temporary. I have no idea what or who to trust to stay in my life. I've had many, many panic attacks about this. I'm so scared. I can barely manage high school. I'm in honors and AP classes, but I'm barely crawling by. But I'm pressured into taking these classes year after year. I dont know how I'm passing. I have zero motivation for anything. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, and am awaiting another diagnosis for a similar issue. How do people do it? I'm so scared.

Is it just me or does anyone else have a teenage boy who thinks the greatest thing in the world is to annoy his mother until she sighs deeply. It's like, Dude, you're a teen, if I hear baby shark one more time you will learn why locker room towels are a thing to be feared.

Is it just me, or is “my body, my choice” a darn good argument for literally everything that you want to do with your life that doesn’t hurt anyone else, but everyone says you shouldn’t. Let me make my own mistakes every now and then. Because guess what? I know myself way better than you do, so how can you know what’s best for me better than I do? At least if I screw myself over, I have no one to blame but me. If you screw me over when I knew better, guess who I’m going to be mad at?

My youngest wanted a Barbie ‘Cutie Reveal’ doll for Christmas. It’s basically a Barbie in an animal costume.
So it’s a furry? (A person who likes to dress like an animal) That’s certainly…odd. Right? Furries have been a thing for quite a while, right?
I mentioned that to my husband and I guess he thought I was just overthinking.
But then today my little one asked me what I thought of their Barbie…and they said “ahem, furry” in a tiny voice.
We had a good laugh and I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Barbies are furries now.
