18 - a little too old to be a little too young

A day since yesterday, an overnight transformation from a boyish prince to a handsome king. i think to myself what change has overcome me in just another
ordinary day. This question eluded me forever. It remained an enigma. but i
realised the naivity of society. its fidelity to the principles whcih define the
very existence of mankind. but if not for the defiance, would mankind have been
what it is today? I wonder elusively.
18- the twilight between the passing dusk and long long arcane night whose darkness evades tomorrow from today. At this point on this day, i feel no different. Then how come I am recogonised as a man? how much could i have changed in one day? How mature could i have become? Then i realise it is just a naivity of society...
Yesterday, society deemed me unfit to stand on my own feet, dependent on my parents, outcast from responsibility and referred to as a minor. But all of a sudden, I feel a burden, an added responsibility... no a vision of responsibility magnified since yesterday.
Society recogonises me but it is the ones who are most relevant to me that don't, they still view me as they did yesterday. On this day, at this moment i feel a little too old to be a little too young.

I so know what u mean! I turned 18 a couple of months ago, and since then its like people expect me to suddenly become oh-so-mature and responsible and all... if it were just that, i'd be fine with it, but no... why giving me the resposiblity of an adult, i have to carry the baggage of childhood too.. i am not allowed to make any significant decisions, my social life is closely monitored by mom... (sigh)

this is one of those things which everyone of us goes through , for some of us it is just another part of life that we have to take , not choose but take only coz we are 18 but what if we dont want to let go of our old selves and still be where we were yesterday ..... you cant coz that just makes you immature , irresposible and unrealible . why do we have to have all these responsibilities bestowed upon us when all u want to have is fun . if anything this is age discrimination .
