In the book Hey World, Here I Am! By Jean Little. One of my favorite poems is Growing Pains because I can relate to it so much not just being a teenager but like any kid my age or younger knowing what it’s like to have an adult on your back 24/7. Jean Little shows her readers what we do when having “Growing Pains”.
In the poem one of my favorite lines little wrote was “She said I was lazy and self-centered. She said my room was a pigsty”. I think anyone could relate to this quote, my mom tells me this all the time and I liked this quote so much because it brings me back to when I was little and when I used to hear this all the time. Little made me think of all the times I used to hear this saying. Little opened my toy chest and brought back all the memories of my child hood and that is one of the reasons this poem is special to me.
Another quote I liked from this poem was “I’m just a kid” that really stuck out to me because sometimes I feel adults forget that were just KIDS! My parents know I am just a kid but sometimes I think they forget. We “kids” mess up all the time for stupid stuff at that , but at the end of the day we have to learn to grow and messing up is definitely apart of growing pains. The growing pains we all get are normal and sometimes we don’t understand why we act like a crazy person or over sensitive. Little understood why and thats why she wrote this poem for all the teenagers out here with GROWING PAINS.
In conclusion we all act a certain way with our pains but we all know the feeling of growing up and thats why anyone can relate to this poem,Your Mom, Dad , even your Grandma but the one person that really relates is YOU!.
