childhood versus adulthood when you're a kid everybody treats adulthood like it's some mystical time to be alive but then when you get there you gotta worry about raising kids building credit yeah it's a ton to manage so definitely don't take your childhood for granted but today i really wanted to answer the question which is truly better childhood or adulthood i got a scoreboard right here and i'm gonna score them based on these five different categories activities as a kid the
The time is yours, bro. You can really do whatever you want if your parents allow you to. But some parents are stricter than others, so it's really based on how you spawn in. Like playing video games is a big example. Some parents don't allow that, but my parents did. I would sit there and play the Wii or my DS for hours. My parents would have to physically drag me outside to get some- Okay, it wasn't that bad.
They tried setting time limits for me, but I just completely ignored it. But on the rare occasion I would go outside, I would shoot hoops, play tag, two-hand touch football, wiffle ball, you know, the classics. I was a demon at wiffle ball, bro. My skills were unmatched. And when you were a kid, you would try to get everybody around you to try and join. If you had a bunch of family members over, oh, you were begging everybody. It didn't matter. You were trying to get anybody that you could to spawn in. Even Uncle Billy, who busted his hip first.
falling down the stairs a week ago. You literally just needed a body on the court. Hey, Uncle Billy, stop being a bitch and get your ass over here. Toughen up, will ya? Jesus Christ. That's because when you're-
Mom, Dad, I humbly suggest you save some money and shop Amazon for back to school. It's for my growth, meaning my body's growing at an alarming rate. And clothes you buy me this year will be very small very soon. Plus, the clothes I love today will be out of style tomorrow. But at least your wallet doesn't have to be my fashion victim anymore.
if you shop low prices for school at Amazon. Hopefully this is helpful. Amazon. Spend less, smile more.
Right here, but if you're an adult the only activities you really have is I guess just your hobbies And well, you know when you're like 40 50, you know You're not exactly at peak athleticism anymore A lot of older people like to golf because I mean shit bro by time i'm 50 my needs are gonna be given out So there's no way i'm gonna be hitting holes like a running back But when you're an adult you barely have any time for all these hobbies when you're a kid You have all the time in the world, bro
You really have school and that's really it. So yeah, it looks like the kids are taking this one 1-0 so far. Honestly, bro, the adults gotta tee up. It's not looking good right now. Responsibilities. I started talking about this. So I mean, it just makes sense to put this one next. When you're a kid...
You really don't have much responsibilities. Like when it's the summer, you got so much time to kill. Honestly, the most responsibility you could probably get is to do chores. I had three chores to do as a kid. Three. And I would cry like a bitch about it. It takes like five minutes. And adults got to do this other shit. And they don't get summers off, bro. Unless you're a teacher. Like I really had the audacity to.
bitch at my parents after them getting home from a 10-hour shift i was a bum i was nothing but a good for nothing freeloader i realistically did jack i mean unless they forced me to do it but when you're an adult not only do you have to work 40 hours a week you got to worry about supporting your family buying groceries making dinner then you have to build credit like there's
They didn't teach me any of this shit in school. And to be honest with you, it's probably a lot worse for me because I'm just entering adulthood. My grandparents bought a house and started a family when they were like 22, 23 years old. But I'm 20. The fuck am I doing, bro? I don't even know how to change a tire, bro. When I move out, I'm absolutely fucked. I'm going to be calling my dad every hour. Hey, dad. I just saw a rat fly down from the ceiling. Is that bad?
Every time. And it just makes you think like, damn, I really want to be a kid again. Because eventually you're going to be raising kids yourself and then you got to deal with them. And now I feel bad for all the times I disrespected my parents because I don't know, man. I was just being a dick. I don't know. I just thought life was really easy as an adult.
Since my brain hasn't fully developed yet, and I lost a lot of brain cells due to brain rot, I didn't understand that when you grow up, you have more responsibilities. Honestly, I don't know for sure yet, but as you get older, responsibilities may get easier to manage or, I don't know, I'm not sure. The kids are definitely taking this one, 100%. I mean, Jesus Christ, they don't have to worry about keeping a roof over their head. Restrictions. When you're a kid, you know, it may all seem like sunshine and rainbows, you know, looking back at the
past, but you also had a shit ton of restrictions. Now that I'm an adult, I can do whatever the hell I want. Well, not everything. You get the point. But when you're a kid, your life is basically controlled by your parents, teachers, principals, just everybody around you. And they're always lurking. They're on your ass 24-7. Sometimes parents are so strict that you will be stuck inside doing your homework while everyone's playing outside. You're just sitting there looking out the window, contemplating your life. Yeah, no, that's happened to me a couple times.
When I got punished. Yeah, bro. Getting punished. Oof. Again, it all depends on the household you grow up in. Some kids get the belt and some kids get time out. Yeah, I never really understood this one. I'm not going to lie. Sitting in a corner for 20 minutes is not going to make me rethink everything. I'm just going to do the same shit again 20 minutes later. As a kid, you had to be by your parents' side 24-7. I was one of those kids that was scared to go out alone. My parents would
Always drew on my head, don't talk to strangers. I was afraid I was gonna go out alone, see a white van, and then see some guy say, hey kid, there's Pokemon in the van. But to be honest with you, it was probably a good thing I was by my parents' side because my dumb ass would have probably been like, whoop!
And I would have fucking hopped right in that van. And when you're an adult, well, you don't really have to listen to anybody. Well, unless they're your boss, because you need bread. But I mean, other than that, you really don't have to listen to anybody. You don't have to live by anybody's side. You can pick what your beliefs are, what you eat, just everything about your life. And that's probably my favorite part about adulthood.
that life is in your hands now. It's no longer in your parents' hands. Like, for example, when I was a kid, I couldn't even go to my friend's house to have a sleepover. But now, I can go anywhere, really. I can travel the world, move out, live on a farm where my Wi-Fi router's a potato. I thought it was so corny when my uncles and grandparents would be like, oh yeah, the world's your oyster, kid. And now I know what they mean, but
Although there is certain financial boundaries you have to reach, there are still just so many options. So for that, the adults are taking this one. And at this point, it really is anybody's game. Mood and emotions. As a kid, just the slightest thing happening can turn a good day into a really shitty one. Now, when you were a kid, your parents or your family would just pinch your cheeks. Okay, pause. That sounded really wrong, but you know what I'm talking about. Every time somebody in my family would be like, oh my God, God, look at
Look at him. He's so- I would fucking get so mad. I would punch the air. I just hated that. And that was it. My mood was ruined over that. And a lot of kids are just extremely hyper for no reason. But then eventually they just tire themselves out after like an hour or two. Sometimes I would get up at 4 a.m. in the morning to play with my toys. It was ridiculous. I seriously don't know how I had that much energy. And it was all because I wanted to play with my toys before school. My parents are probably like, what the-
is he doing like go back to sleep and now sometimes even when I sleep like 9 10 hours I still feel tired as shit so honestly I really don't know how I did it but as you grow up and enter puberty who the mood swings get even worse some people get into that era where they're like mom I swear to god it's not a fucking phase I 100% had my emo kid arc for sure but I just grew out of it
When you're an adult, your mood kind of stabilizes a bit and you learn how to better handle your emotions. They're emotions. They're still going to happen. But I'm not going to scream at the top of my lungs because I got killed in Call of Duty. Like I told my mom, yeah, I'm mature. I can handle it. No, the fuck I could not. The game chat lobbies were insane. I was most definitely not physically or mentally mature enough.
I mean, shit, bro. I would cry in the club over getting a red card in class. So yeah, the adults are taking this one. All right, they're making comeback of the year right now. Will the adults fumble the bag or will they catch the craziest dub of the year? Athleticism. Now this topic really could go to either one because it really just depends how young or old you are.
When I was a kid, I wasn't strong enough to throw a baseball. I'd throw it and it'd go like two feet in front of me. I mean, granted, at the time, I was like six years old. But come on, dude. You gotta get the f*** off the DS and be able to throw a ball, for God's sake. I was slow as hell. Both physically and mentally. Once
Once I was in like fifth or sixth grade, I was pretty athletic. I finally lost all that weight. I played a lot of sports and shit, so it helped keep me in shape. Like I could have cameoed in a Matt Stoney video and would have been completely fine the next day. I also started riding my bike a lot in the neighborhood. And whenever I would fall off the bike,
I would just cry on the street and expect somebody to come save me. On one slight impact, I would cry. That was it, bro. That's all it took. But what would challenge my athleticism the most as a kid were all the fitness gram tests at gym. It was a flex if you got a high score. I remember I did a pull-up test. I couldn't even get one. Like, how do you not get one?
okay. You know what? I'm not even going to ask questions. I was cooked. And when you're a young adult, you start doing shit like going to the gym, working out more and overall just building a better physique. A lot of people don't really have time to go to the gym, but that's something I like to prioritize a lot because it's really important if you want to stay in shape and overall just feel better mentally. And for me as a young adult, I feel like that's the best way to keep active. Like I'm dead ass still going to be steady grinding in a gym when I'm like 50. Of
Of course, I can't forget to mention the muscle and bone pain that comes with getting older. Even though I'm not even that old, bro, my fucking back hurts. I don't understand it. I don't know why. So maybe in future years, I'm just done for. Like some mornings when I wake up, I could just lean over the wrong way and just, ah, god, what the fuck?
I mean, it didn't help that I was quite literally sleeping on a brick in college. Maybe that's what it was from. I don't know. But I already know I'm getting comments calling me unk as we speak. Like, 100%, there's no way. My friend had, like, this rock wall at his house. I would fucking jump down the rock wall like I'm fucking Iron Man and I would be completely fine. And if I did that shit now...
Ooh, so, uh, you broke your arms, your legs, and you are paralyzed from the waist down. Yeah, I would definitely be in a wheelchair if I did that shit. It's crazy how I was able to do that without breaking a limb, but I couldn't even fall off my bike without crying. I don't know, I guess the recovery is just crazy. And the winner is... Childhood. I mean, you all saw this coming. They both have their perks and their downsides as well. So let this be the moral. Wherever you are in life, just enjoy it as much as possible.
