Fifteen

It is strange to think that 15 is young. At least to me because I am 15. At this age I feel extremely... Old? I'm not sure if that's the right word to describe what I feel about my age. It doesn't feel like I am a child anymore, but I know I am not an adult. Maybe this is why they say teenage years are the most awkwards years. You just don't know where you belong. To some 15 is considered a mere child, to others 15 is old enough for a lot of things. 15 is old enough to know right from wrong, 15 is old enough to have teachers treat you as an adult, but in the end 15 is still a child. This is so strange because I don't see myself as a child anymore. I look upon the younger kids and dive back into my own memories, trying to remember what being a child is like. And then I fear what being an adult will be like. There are just so many possibilities and confusions I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be feeling.
