When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand
to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was
astonished a how much he had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain
To an adolescent, there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a
parent.
Dave Barry
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.

Teachers in Junior High are always asking students what they want to be when
they grow up because they’re looking for better ideas.
Paula Poundstone
Too many people grow up. That’s the real trouble with the world, too many
people grow up. They forget. They don’t remember what it’s like to be 12
years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won’t do
that.
Walt Disney
We’ve had bad luck with children; they all grew up to be teenagers.
Christopher Morley
Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s
to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had
been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come.
The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just
had to forgive ourselves… for growing up.
