Elias “Bubba” Perez ’19

For me, it’s not quite being an adult yet but it’s still having those responsibilities. You have almost all of the responsibilities as an adult but you aren’t treated as one. You don’t have the status of an adult. You still have to follow your parents rules, you still don’t have a say in things because you’re living with your parents even though I work, I pay taxes, I go to school, I do everything that adults do but I am still a child and I don’t have a say in things which is kind of difficult because I know a lot of kids who want to be more independant and they want to be able to do what they want- smart decisions, not dumb decisions- live the way they want to but with their parents being there it’s like being a prisoner of your home. In some aspects, it kind of sucks but it’s fine.
