Being a high school student is difficult. Along with the worries about schoolwork, you also have to face1 as you grow.
You might look at the other boys or girls in your class and wonder 2 some of them are so tall in a night and some of them seem like grown-ups already.
Even though you do so, that's completely normal ( 正 常 的 ). We all3 ourselves to others, especially when it comes to the way we look. However, what you must remember is that we all grow up at our own speed, whether that's physically (身体上) or mentally (心理上).
The bad news is that there is4 you can do to make yourself grow physically—except wait. And what about mental growth? 5 putting yourself in a certain situation may help you feel more like a grown-up mentally, in fact, mental growth could be the same as physical growth. For example, asking your 6 to allow you to manage your pocket money or look after your sick grandparents on your own might be a good way to build your character. Also, things like7 rules, and being polite and helpful are true signs of mental growth. However, an important thing to remember is that there's no rush to become a grown-up mentally. Like physical growth, mental growth happens 8 over time.
So for now, just think about who you are but not who you think you 9 be.
And remember to be 10 with yourself. After all, everyone on this planet is different and that's what makes it such a beautiful place.
