Every child has his own dream. Every child hopes to be an adult. All of them think it is a good thing to grow up. However, is it truly like what they imagine? As a boy who lives in modern times, I still clearly remember the happiness of my childhood. What good time we had! We didn’t need to study all the time and our task was to play. We had no worries. Unluckily, we had to face the reality following time’s passing. We began to gradually feel this invisible pressure come upon us. We had less spare time for playing and had to give more of our time for homework. Our stress was coming! We get up before sunrise and return after sunset. We work and study like an adult, even harder. What we do is in order to get an excellent mark. Oh, growing up is extremely boring. Perhaps each child will have or has had the stress of growing up, the most important thing for us is to solve our worries. We must try to find happiness while growing up. I think the friendship among our friends, the support from our parents and the encouragement from our teachers can help us. Let’s have the courage to face these worries and try to solve them. The path of adolescence（青春期） is full of sunshine. Why not enjoy the pleasure of growing up and savor its delicious taste?
