My logic

My mum is always closing the blinds in my room when it's time for bed. So is both my grandmas when I'm at their houses. Even though I'm seventeen years old, they treat me like a child. Some people gets mad at their parents when such things happen. "Stop treating me as a child! I'm not a kid anymore!" We've all heard that before. In movies, books, games... It's just common sense to want some respect. So when do you really stop being a child? Some say at 16, some 18 and some 21. I say: never! Because for your parents and older relatives, you'll always be a kid. Even when you yourself is a parent. After all, you'll always be younger than them and they'll always feel responsible for you. If you ask me, "child" and "adult" is just refering to your age, not your mind. When a random person sees you and thinks that "you're a child", they're refering to your age and looks; but if your mother sees you and thinks the same, she's refering to your age in comparition to her. And to the place you've got in her heart, as well as your memories together. Another thing about being a child or an adult is all the judging! If someone sees me in my cute, pink, frilly clothes and with my dolls, they think that I'm "childish". If someone sees me in my formal wear and with a book or a crossword, they think that I'm "mature". I don't really understand why it has to be that way. I'm still the same person, aren't I?

Just my logic.
