Being an Adult

I've been thinking about growing up lately. I'm seventeen and I am finishing up my junior year of highschool. It seems like everyone expects me to act mature and like an adult now. I know I should but it gets so annoying that people just want to all of the sudden push everthing on me. If I even act the slightest out of turn, it's a huge deal. Last weekend, I was sick and had a rough week of exams. I had to go to a weekend trip with the crew I am member of to race boats. I wasn't thinking straight and some people were picking on me. I got upset and started crying. Now I'm in trouble for my "meltdown". I'm just a sensative person and I have a riht to cry whether I am an adult or not. I just with people would relax a little. I'm still learning about growing up and I don't even know who I am yet. It's not my family being to hard on me either. It's other adults. They need to lay off a bit because they have no place to try to teach me stuff if my parents don't.
