Teens growing up too fast7/1/2023 ![]() All the seventh grade girls were doing the exact same thing. These girls were acting like teenagers, working hard to live up to what they thought was cool. These eight year-olds gossiped and checked for notifications on their iPhones before stuffing them back into the pockets of their mini shorts. As I was walking to my 7th grade class, I saw all the girls in my brother’s third grade class huddled together, laughing. Things changed one afternoon in Hebrew school. They’re so grown up, I’d think, they’re so lucky. I wanted to be like all the girls in my class who’d go to Town Center on Fridays. I wanted to be able to just go out with friends whenever I felt like it. I’d beg my mom for a phone and complained about my not cool non-Kipling pencil case. I spent so much energy trying to fit in with my peers, struggling to keep up with the newest things. Before you know it, hours of your life are wasted just trying to fit in. Weekend’s are spent on Netflix, watching episode after episode of “Pretty Little Liars” just so you can talk about what happened to Alison DiLaurentis’ character. There is so much pressure to buy Keds shoes, understand all the dirty jokes, and get over 30 “likes” on Instagram. When keeping up with the latest fashion and technology feels like the most important thing, it’s hard to stay true to yourself. dordle on Struggling With Your Mental Health?
