Have you grown, how do you know?


How do you know when you’ve grown?

He doesn’t like you

She doesn’t like you

They only want one thing

She wants attention 

He wants sex

 

How do you know when you’ve grown?

Pay this bill

Pay that one

It only hurts your pockets

It’s for YOUR phone

It’s for YOUR hair

 

How do you know when you’ve grown?

Be here by 7AM

You HAVE to be at practice

It’ll “better” you 

You’re an athlete

You can handle it

 

How do you know when you’ve grown?

Start saving your money

You waste too much on childish things.

YOU can afford it

YOU buy everything else

 

How do you know when you’ve grown?

Have you had “the talk”?

“Everyone’s not your friend”

“Money spent could’ve been money well saved”

“Endurance is pain, no pain no gain.”

 

It’s healthy, but it’s not always great

Always keep your faith

Help is always there

Everyone might not care

But if you ask

You may receive
