Is this weird… I wish i was older than i am?

I’m 13 years old, and I find myself really wanting to be older. I have a strong desire to get a car, and I’m eager to have a job so I can earn my own money and save up for both a car and an apartment. I think this feeling might stem from the fact that my parents initially gave me a lot of freedom, but then they took much of it away. Don’t get me wrong; my parents are great, but I feel like I want more independence. Sometimes, I feel restricted from doing things that I believe I should be able to do. Am I just being weird, or is this a normal feeling for someone my age?

I’m was in this boat since your age and still am. I will be turning 18 the first week of next month. I don’t even have a job, wasn’t allowed to get my permit and always had to go to school and never miss. Plus my childhood ******* ꜱᴜcκed and I couldn’t wait to reach the age I am now, well the age I’m turning now. You’re probably the same age as me because this is an old question and I was also around 13 or 14 years old. You should be able to do the things that you wanted to now, especially since you said your parents were pretty open. Now that you’re of age, they have no reason to stop you. 😉

Good luck, hope all is well!

Yes, this is normal for most teenagers. After a while, i only managed to get to 15 until i got my first car! Needing money is not a benefit of any kind, wait for more education and go out on work experience if possible, learn your way around a few workplaces.

Now i dont know where you live, but here in New Zealand we have a site that helps you find the job that YOU want.

Not sure that will heelp you, but its your decision, Good luck!

It’s normal. Hmm..It’s probably because your parents let you have a little bit of freedom, and you feel restricted. Don’t worry…I feel the same way, and it’s all because of my parents. O_o
