17 - kid or not

[Munch]

You shouldn't let peer pressure make you grow up. You age when you age, you grow up when you want to grow up, not when others want you to grow up.

Besides, kids are growing up too fast these days. I don't know about other places, but in Liverpool you get 8-10 year olds roaming the streets on their own (either by their self or in a gang of 8-10 year olds). When I was 10 there was no way a 10 year old would be in the streets on their own, not even in a gang with other 10 year olds. They could be with 16 year olds though, but no 10 year olds.
