Why Do We Have To Grow Up???

Why do we have to grow up???
Seriously.
i see no need to go through that tiring, time-consuming process..
if growing up wasnt a natural thing and i had a choice. i'd stop growing at 17.
then i could stay forever as an adolescent and would never ever have to shoulder all the stupid responsibilities and troubles and worries that come along with adulthood.
With adulthood comes nagging worries, stupid responsibilities, high expectations..
i have to say, i desperately admire all those who have managed to grow up, and done it so well. you guys are my heroes, my IDOLS. How the hell do you do it???
the only things i used to worry about when i was still in high school was my studies, my swimming ( before i quit) who had broken up with who and who was together with who, what clothes to wear to tuition classes.... and maybe mindless stuff like if i was gonna get grounded for spending too much money....
Now, i the only stuff i think about when i'm free is Bills, Rent, Studies, Work, My Weight, My Money, My Fees.... oh and did i mention Money????
i hate money. i absolutely abhor it with a kind of passion never seen before. why do we complicate our lives with these coloured paper that makes your hands smell funny after holding it for too long?
In the words of Shakespeare ( i think): Lord, what fools these mortals be!!!
why, if i didnt need it to pay my bills and buy my essentials, i would gladly do without it!
i used to be an i-came-i-saw-i-bought sorta person.
now i'm an i-came-i-saw-i-considered-i-came-back-again-i-bang-my-head-on-the-wall-i-dunno sorta person.... this is what growing up does to you!!!! it feels your head with worrying nonsense and adds more weight on your shoulders!!!
Come to think of it. Growing up only has two advantages:
1. Alcohol ( i Dont take alcohol anyway)
2. Driving( which i still havent learnt yet and probably wont for a very long time to come)
So see?
there really is no point in growing up!!!
