To all the people who say they aren't forced:
Yes, they are being forced. They're being forced by the culture they're growing up in and the pressure of 'fitting in' and becoming 'independent'. By culture, I don't mean their home situation, but the American culture as a whole. It makes me sick. Teens are so eager to grow up and become more mature and shit, yet they don't realize what they're giving up. When they're older and then have some shit job in a 6x8 cubicle, they'll be wishing they could just go run around, have fun, go on vacation, et cetera, like they could've in their youth. But, nope, they wanted to grow up and have responsibility. Kids, if you're reading this, take as much time growing up as possible. I don't really remember where I was going with this, but whatever.
