Adults always say that life was better in their childhood and school days than it is now. Why do they say so?
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is often said that childhood is the best time of life and adulthood brings a plethora of challenges as compared to that. There have been a lot of reasons behind that saying. Although this fact has a flip side too with different aspects.
Before all else, a majority of grown-ups emphasize life as a child being the best days: as youngsters, they only had to study, play and rest, whereas as grown-ups they are always overwhelmed with responsibilities. Apart from that, there was no place for stress, jealousy or competition, and making friends was an effortless undertaking.
Also, even if one made a mistake, they always got the benefit of being considered as a chance to learn from failures. Likewise, being surrounded by elders gave a sense of assurance for their safety and all their responsibilities and demands were taken care of by their parents. No matter whether an adult gets appreciation or not, as a child even little things brought ample applause.
However, even though being a juvenile offers umpteen benefits, the rewards of being a grown-up are unmatched: by virtue of attaining maturity, one becomes capable of handling any situation without needing any external intervention. Similarly, despite facing restrictions and obligations, they can simply follow their aspirations and make any decision related to their lives. Above all, something even teenagers crave for, is a right to vote and such a privilege allows an individual to contribute in the decision making of their nation as well.
To recapitulate, I feel although childhood days are undoubtedly the most enjoyable days due to that phase rendering carefree life, adulthood is the time when one gets to harness the opportunities to attain their desired goals, and also have a say in society.
