Who else hates it when they see a person grow from a child and then one day, they hit puberty, and you don't admire them much anymore? I don't know if its because of the contrast between the simple life of children with the complicated life of teens. As far as I know, children don't play as much "social games" and they don't flirt with each other, at least not to the extent of teens.

I personally find it a tradegy when a little child does not behave like a child anymore. Maybe its because I still want to be like a child. But obviously, I can't be exactly like a child, as I have an adult body and it would look really sketchy if I started to play around with little children. Maybe one day when my brother has kids (I don't plan on having kids, but I wouldn't rule out the possiblity) I can finally enjoy playing with them. but it's not gonna be the same. Kids are gonna see that I'm an adult.

That's how my sister is. It's quite annoying.

I remember when that happened to my sister. Kids are cute, when they are young, and than they become nasty, during puberty. No wonder I didn't want friends, in high school.

Right now my brother is going through puberty. I miss it when he was a little kid. He was so full of energy and happy. But now... Now he's really high-strung and depressed, and he has a tendency of copping a nasty attitude as well. I miss the days when all it took to make him happy was to play video games or stuffed animals with him. :(

I enjoyed going through puberty. Moods were a bit of a roller coaster though

I work with pre-teens and teens and couldn't disagree more....in a nice way jc6chan :D

I'm in my element with all their typical behaviours and enjoy the challenge of dealing with the more severe behaviours which seem to be very common place these days.

I never understood what people meant when they claimed to have a rewarding, job...now I do....apart from parenthood, of course, which is eternally rewarding. I mean a job where you get paid by the hour....doh! Too many grey areas here... :?

I believe I've built a good rapport with all my students...except the newbies, and we'll get there.

Sucker for punishment maybe? meh... :lol:

Even pre puberty kids are nasty. What I always hated was when a child be sweet and then all of a sudden they are snotty and rude to me. I remember this girl who give me a hard time on the bus but her little sister was sweet and we talk sometimes and she was in kindergarten then. But then when she got to first grade, she was all of a sudden rude to me and didn't like how I talked. I didn't know what was going on and then I realized it was the new her and she had became like her parents. Hey even little kids are bullies and pick on others.

Even my old best friend Sara was sweet my parents said but when she got to Kindergarten she got mean but she still play with me.

Most little kids are sweet and not like their parents but when they get to elementary school, they start acting like them. If the parents are bullies and jerks, their kids are more likely to act like one too because they learn the behavior. I say Kindergarten or first grade. But I knew a kid in my neighborhood who was also sweet but when I got to seven years old, he started to get mean and it didn't become obvious till I was eight and he was five years old and in kindergarten by then. But the problem was he was mouthy and a smart alec and his parents never corrected his behavior and they let him be mean to other kids and they did nothing about it. His mother just kept praying to god asking him to make her sona better person.

And people say kids are innocent? :roll:

But I have noticed how younger kids are more obedient and more controllable but when they get to their teens, they are more hard to control. I noticed at 11 years old how kids listen to grown ups more and mind the substitute teacher more but as they get older, they listen to the grown ups less and give sub teachers a hard time. What I also like about little kids is they are honest. older kids learn to sugar coat things and filter themselves what they say by not saying it. Sure kids young as six learn to tell white lies but they are still developing it because they still say things you shouldn't say. They will say things like "Ew I am not sitting next to him, he stinks." "I don't want that piece, she touched it." "Your breath stinks." Kids are even still saying those things at nine years old. But then when they get to their teens, they say those things just to be mean (unless they have AS :lol: )

What was hard about my brothers was, I didn't mind when they have friends over but when they got to their pre teens, eleven and twelve, they started to get noisier and make more messes and sounds and they have more friends over and be there longer and it was hard for me because I was always made out to be the bad guy by my parents because of my anxiety. I think kids get more sociable when they hit puberty because they are heading for adulthood and that's why they are called adolescents. They are going from childhood to adulthood. They also want more rights and freedom and they start forming their own opinions than opinions based on what their parents taught them or told them and you can't change them by telling them "It's not right." So they may not agree with everything their parents want and their rules so that's why there are arguments between teens and parents.

I find your post strangely disturbing, especially since your age is listed as "19."

jc6chan, I definitely know the feeling but when your a teen, you don't really notice it as much or probably never done these things but back then when I was going through puberty (even now still) I am having these thoughts that I don't want to be seen as a young kid but at the same time want to be.

It does pretty much bother me when I know someone who used to love this and that like my girlfriend, but now it seems she doesn't seem interested in the same things as she used to.

They will eventually grow out of it soon as they fully become adults.

I agree about pre-pubes being nasty. That's when it all starts.

I hate that. Last summer, my brother was like an elementary school kid and much shorter than me. And upon turning twelve, his voice began to get deeper and he grew. He's almost my height now. Also, he's become an a-hole in the process.
