Longing for freedom

I am only 13, and am going to start High School next year. However, I am (and have been for all of middle school) in an advanced placement program, and hve always cosidered myself more mature than "most" children my age. (I say "most" because the school I attend is the only school in the are that has full-day advanced placement.)

Well, because of this, I sort of feel like an adult trapped in a kid's body. Most people I meet don't think of 13-year-olds as equals (especially males). There are several reasons why this is the pits.

For instance, I feel completely confident that, provided I had the money to start, I could get a job and live on my own. Of course, this is not expected until one is at least 18.

Also, any relationship can't be carried on for long. It is often looked down upon, or thought of as just "puppy love." Marriage is completely out of the question, or even anything past a "peck" on the cheek. Even if you are sure somebody is "the one."

That's all I have to say for right now. Thanks for reading my tale of woe.
