We've heard it before-we've heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents -children and teenagers today are growing up too fast. There are many people that will 36 with that statement. Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early 37 . In fact most teenagers' daily schedules(时间表) are as 38 as those of an adult's.
I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in 39 in which I was working with adults. I have had to learn to think and 40 like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I regard myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time considering the 41 eighteen years-thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what 42 I have yet to achieve.
We are expected to study hard, get excellent 43 , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do 44 . The list goes on and on. But the 45 is clear: We live in a society today that is 46 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy-free(自由的想象力). We are expected to 47 the strict school rules and to be good in everything we do.
