I'm gonna put in another one.
Growing up mean's realizing that no matter how hard you think your life is, there will always be someone who has it far worse. It means acknowledging that everyone has their own problems to deal with, and that you can never truly know what is going on in someone else's life. Above all, growing up is learning that you will always be in situations that you hate, that life isn't fair, and that it isn't perfect for anyone, and that's what makes it worth living. Because for all the hardships we go through, there are always the moments and the people that get us through it, and most importantly, give us the strength to get through things on our own.
