Growing Up Although, the song “Growing Up’’ by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Ed Sheeran, shows how life experiences help you grow up throughout your life. One of the important line from the song says,”Had your heart broken? Been there, done that," (25). This shows that part of growing up means that you are going to get your heart broken over and over and then when the right guy comes, you will know what to look for in a good relationship from your previous relationships. “Take risks, cause life moves so fast," (57). This is showing that part of growing up is to take risk because live goes by too fast. In “The Hunger Games”, Katniss volunteered for her little sister knowing that she (Katniss) has a 1/24th chance of staying alive. “I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong,” (14). Part of growing up is making mistakes like people in the real world makes mistakes. What everybody fears like getting a low grade in school, getting in trouble, etc. people try hard not to mess up but that is impossible to be perfect and not make mistakes. “I'll be patient, one more month,” (60). This shows that growing up will take longer than just a day, so in order to grow up, a person has to be patient to grow up. Part of growing up is learning from your mistakes, being patient, taking risks, and learn from your first time life experiences. Growing up is like a haunted house. It is exciting and scary at the same time.
