About This Quote

When you are young, you are not very wise or mature, you have no idea how to handle the pressures of growing up. You are just a kid, but your parents want you to grow up fast. To them, they don’t want their children to be the same as them. They want you to grow up and find out what life has in store for you.

They want you to be strong and make adults look at you in awe. However, by the time people realize that they were wrong about everything, it is too late. Children cannot be strong, they cannot make adults look at them in awe because by then, they are all grown up.
