Growing Up Sucks	comment	Several works involving children as the protagonists insist on reminding the viewers that childhood doesn't last forever. Not only will this be implied throughout the show's narrative, the Kid Hero themselves will probably be all too aware of this fact, and refer to it openly, with varying degrees of acceptance or dread. In addition, this will probably feature as a plot point. The concept of "childhood's end" will probably be clearly illustrated, with the now-grown-up character losing something that was fundamental to their happiness as a child. On shows based mainly in reality, this will probably take the form of the protagonist's group of friends going their separate ways after graduation. The child may lose his guardians, Mons, or even his powers, if these all come with a time limit or are directly linked to his status as a child. For example, children are assumed to be wide-eyed, curious, innocent and trusting; adults are usually portrayed as pragmatic, cynical and set in their ways. Wistful Amnesia is often part of this growing-up process as well. To maintain the Masquerade, various magical/scientific agencies will ensure that the hero remembers nothing of the adventures he had as a kid...or of the allies he made and The Mentor/guardian who looked after them, often delivering a less than idealistic moral on the transience of friendship. Viewers may end up feeling they've been handed an Esoteric Happy Ending. In some works, this is invoked as the reason why Adults Are Useless; they have forgotten how hellish being a child can be, and blithely ignore all the attempts by the child to tell them, because they have convinced themselves that it was better then. If the episode/chapter/title is "Growing Pains" that's your warning this trope is in full effect. Occasionally a child character will get to live as an adult for a while, Freaky Friday-style, taking full advantage of their increased power and ability to make their own rules. Inevitably the Aesop emerges that adults can't do whatever they want, but that sort of story will often exaggerate the down sides of growing up to drive the point home; the character will be stuck working at a soul-crushing job under a Mean Boss, and most of their time outside of work will be taken up with household chores. It also becomes broken when you realize that not only do kids have rules and choices made for them (you can choose a job you want and even quit for whatever reason—but you're forced to stay in school when you're younger and cannot quit) but they also have (often parentally-enforced) responsibilities like adults do (school, homework, pre-selected chores, etc.) May result in a viewer having a "Screw that!" moment, leading to selective Fanon Discontinuity. Happens a great deal in the real world when someone leaves adolescence and their teen-age years behind and realizes that while childhood is not always a picnic, things are different when mom and dad aren't paying their bills anymore: they have to find a place to live, buy health insurance, work at a job they may not like in order to have money in the bank, and otherwise deal with all the things that made their parents so uncool and boring. One of the first steps into being a full-fledged adult is realizing all the sacrifices your parents had to make and the insane hoops they had to jump through to keep a roof over your head and food on the table... Compare Virgin Power, where possessing easily-lost innocence of a different sort grants supernormal abilities. This is also paired with Psychosexual Horror as it also involves themes of sexual development and sexual activities. See also Milestone Birthday Angst, Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!, Kid Hero, Coming of Age Story, Competence Zone, Death by Newbery Medal, and Bittersweet 17. Contrast Dangerous 16th Birthday which uses the advent of adulthood as the start of an adventure... unless you just want to be normal — then growing up still sucks. Contrast Not Growing Up Sucks and Old Flame Fizzle.

Growing Up Sucks / int_11795605	comment	In Clock Tower 3, Rooders' powers begin to fade after age 15, which means one would essentially lose their powers by age 20. Being constantly stalked by psychopath killers and "the forces of darkness", growing up almost invariably means you'll be defenseless against them. Considering said stalkers can find out you have Rooder blood and would like to prevent you from having offspring who can fight them back, your life will be incredibly fun from that point on. Did I mention the souls of the people killed by the subordinates will be forever tortured in order to nourish them and make them nigh invincible?

Growing Up Sucks / int_11d0af1	comment	In His Dark Materials, the changeover from childhood to maturity is marked not with a loss of the child's powers, but that of their daemon — they lose their Shapeshifting ability and remain in one form for their rest of their life. Given that the daemon is an anima/animus of the child, however, this development is directly linked to their bonded human rather than the daemon. Most likely a metaphor for "becoming set in your ways", the lack of prejudice and adaptability children are supposed to have being sacrificed for the reassurance of a firm identity - and this is treated as a joyous occasion by the two main characters. If anything His Dark Materials subverts. The theme of the series is "Growing up has its compensations." Although Lyra does lose the ability to read the alethiometer, and only grown-ups are vulnerable to the Spectres.

At one point Harvey wishes for a miniature Noah's ark, a relic from his childhood, and House promptly gives him an exact, flawless copy. However due to his curiosity he ends up losing it in the lake. He does manage to save a few figurines (or rather, Lulu salvages them for him) from the lake, but as soon as he leaves Hood House they disintegrate. Considering that Hood House is a Lotus-Eater Machine and the lake is where the transformed children are kept after Hood takes their souls... What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic? indeed.

Growing Up Sucks / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	A fairly common Fan interpretation of the first four (especially the first two) Digimon is that the chosen children must have some degree of innocence, but that they cannot get through the series without losing it. In fact, this is pretty overt in the second series - the older children at first drift away from their lives in the Digiworld because they're too busy with things like bands and school that they deem to be more important. In fact, rather heartbreakingly, the villain Oikawa is motivated almost entirely by his all-consuming desire to enter the Digiworld and have Digimon himself - presented as an attempt to become a child again, or at least reclaim the feeling he had when playing with his friend as a kid. on the other hand the series Distant Finale presents all the Chosen Children, now adults with children of their own but still maintaining their Digimon companions and visiting the Digiworld, and at least the Spanish dub suggests that ALL humans have Digimon companions, no matter age. Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna shows this to be a quite a literal example; it confirms that those chosen to become DigiDestined have to be children in order for Digivices to function. Once they reach adulthood, that power ends up fading and the partnership between them and the Digimon will ultimately have to end.

Growing Up Sucks / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The full version of the song included in Bleach's Ending 18 seems to indicate that growing up can be difficult and isn't the most important thing, but it has to be done. In the filler arc, Momo Hinamori inverts this. She looks forward the day she grows up, because that's when she could stop being naive and prevents herself from getting crushed in case someone dear to her betrays her. A review, The Fall of Bleach, brought up an interesting point that the series (least up to the end of the Soul Society arc) is a metaphor of this as Ichigo and his friends fights against the rather odd rules of Soul Society in the way a teenager enters into adulthood and experience things foreign to them.

It's best exemplified through Jack (of "Jack and the Beanstalk") and Little Red (of "Little Red Riding Hood"): the former loses his mother and has to deal with the guilt of bringing down the Giantess's wrath on the entire kingdom after killing her husband, while the latter goes through being Eaten Alive (which has barely-concealed sexual undertones) by the Big Bad Wolf and also loses her mother and Granny. By the end of the story, both Jack and Little Red are wiser and maturer at the cost of their childish innocence, and it's definitely bittersweet. It's best exemplified in Little Red's solo "I Know Things Now":

Shortly after Naruto returns to Konoha in Part II, when Konohamaru shows him his perverted ninjutsu, he tells him that he's not a kid anymore and that he shouldn't use jutsu like that. Sakura is impressed, but also a little sad that Naruto is not the same person he was before... until Naruto then suggests that he's developed more effective perverted ninjutsu. While Naruto and many of his friends (especially Shikamaru) appear to be growing up in Part II, Naruto is personally determined not to grow up in a way that requires abandoning his ideals, like his commitment to bring Sasuke back.

Somehow, he doesn't quite have an unbiased say in the matter. That said, the former hobo knows what he's talking about in this case. Soma, the protagonist, finds out the Awful Truth behind his nature and has to deal with people attacking him to either steal his power or to make him miserable enough to become evil, and they're willing to attack his loved ones either way.

Since there is a war raging, the priestesses who pilot the Simoun aircraft are exempt from this, since once they have visited the Spring they will lose their ability to fly. Some of the characters take this as an opportunity to stay a "maiden" as long as possible, but in the end everybody has to undergo the transformation. A few manage to escape it though: Limone and Dominura end up in the past, Yun became the new high priestess and Aer and Neviril Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence.

But this suffers a radical subversion at the end, when one of the children becomes an adult and lives happily (even having some years of his life skipped) while the adults who become children found childhood "boring".

It treats growing up as a process of disillusionment for many of the characters, where they lose sight of their dreams, realize ugly truths about themselves, and suffer from personal loss and doubt. This is especially noticeable with the protagonist, who gradually loses his innocence due to the abuse, indifference, callousness and pettiness he experiences growing up and becomes a much worse person as a result.

Unfortunately, she was still growing up while she spent time on Earth, and eventually she reached the point where she tried to return to her world and it nearly broke her. Her plan now is to wait until she grows old enough that she goes senile, at which point she might be able to enter her world once more.

Growing Up Sucks / int_5a63b046	comment	Throughout Leia, Princess of Alderaan Leia Organa is in the process of going from child to adult, starting the book by ritually announcing her intention to take challenges of the body, mind, and heart in order to formally be considered her mother's heir, and ending the book having completed them and being crowned. Along the way she quickly discovers that her parents are involved with the nascent Rebel Alliance and jumps at the call only to find that Bail and Breha are terrified for her safety and try to protect her by leaving her out of it. Much of the rest of the book is Leia pushing and prying to get involved. When she succeeds she has a sudden sense of grief and fear and a sense of everything changing as she becomes more aware and responsible, and regrets leaving her childhood behind a little. But she knows she wasn't really safe and there's no going back to that sense that she was, so she pushes on.

In the last chapter, Jess suddenly realize how he's turning 19 and doesn't have a clear goal in life yet, doubtful that his interests in art could last him for a living, while most of his friends already knew what they want to be after graduation. Leslie however managed to encourage him that most people doesn't know what they want to do for a living even after 25, citing how her father didn't write his first book until 29 and it's normal to be worried about adulthood. The Distant Epilogue however reveals that Jess' worries are unwarranted, since after growing up, marrying Leslie and having children, Jess would go on to become a successful art scholar and professor.

Marika is a transgender girl and looming puberty is a worry of hers. She isn't on any hormone blockers or hormone treatment apparently and her classmates talk about her behind her back. Hachi was One of the Boys growing up but when she hit puberty earlier than her peers suddenly her male friends were adverse to her.

Formerly known as "Ange", she was a Child Prodigy and The Baby of the Bunch of her old group, Ray, one of the best, most popular, and powerful witches in the world. Her main appeal was her "cute, pure, innocence" which she happily played up with a ruffled, fluffy, childish design for her stage outfit, a catchphrase and Verbal Tic specifically made to sound cute, and just generally acting like an adorable child. Then a horrific incident occurs, she finds herself emotionally unprepared to deal with it and freezes up, and later the group disbands for yet unknown reasons. Before the series proper, she goes through a very delayed puberty, drops the name Ange and claims she's a different person as Angelica, and is now known as a Huge School Girl trying and failing to be "normal". This might be best demonstrated by her accidentally using her old catchphrase and people both assuming she's a Phrase Catcher and chiding her for using it as she's not nearly as cute and tiny as Ange was.

Growing Up Sucks / int_6f3ca8cf	comment	Shugo Chara!: Used somewhat in an episode. After Ikuto breaks an X-Egg (a negative Heart's Egg), he goes on to say he doesn't feel bad about breaking Heart's Eggs and children's dreams because, as they grow older, children begin to think more realistically about their dreams and deem them impossible to succeed, ultimately giving up their dreams and losing their Heart's Egg (which is the place all people's dreams, wishes, and their 'would-be-selves' are located) and growing up to be dull, dreary, and tired faced adults who are living unhappy and unfulfilling lives. And another example of this series that is hinted at, but not explicitly stated: once a child whose Heart's Egg has given birth to a guardian character grows into an adult who will be able to reach their dreams, their guardian character will go back inside their Heart's Egg to slumber because now the child has the ability and encouragement to become who they want to be on their own. While not 100% negative, it is sad to see a guardian character, who most kids become very close to and grow to love, say goodbye. Not just hinted - a later story arc has Amu face this prospect after meeting Nikaidou's chara again. When asked if she doesn't want to grow up, she states that she doesn't really know.

Steve (the protagonist) gets a mind-controlling mask from a creepy party store (the same one that the previous protagonist got her mask from), which has the appearance of an old man. When he actually tries it on, which sticks to his face for almost the rest of the book, he starts to feel like an old man. Being a preteen boy, he is horrified at the personal challenges that he has to overcome in this state. The simple act of walking is exhausting for his frail body, he cannot eat his cereal with his weakened teeth which means that he has to go with oatmeal instead, and the only speech he can muster is mainly composed of gasping and wheezing.

Growing Up Sucks / int_7fc8ffab	comment	The original version of the story (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens) has Peter run off while still a baby and get "raised" by birds (not growing up), and then meeting the fairies of Kensington Gardens, often joining them for playtime after the park has closed. He pleases the fairy queen so much that she grants him a wish, which he bargains down to two smaller wishes. He uses the first to visit his sleeping mother, flying in through the window she always leaves open for him. She looks so sad that he almost wakes her, but then decides to go back to the gardens to tie up some loose ends. But then he takes so long saying goodbye to all his friends (possibly due to the Year Outside, Hour Inside effect often attributed to fairy realms) that when he uses his second wish to fly back to his mother, he finds the window closed and barred, and his mother sleeps with her arms around a new little boy. "In vain he beat his little hands against the panes. He had to fly back, weeping, to the Gardens...." Thus he grew up (got a heart-rending lesson in the consequences for immature behavior) and, as a consequence, was never able to grow up. The last two lines set the tone:

She started off being Emily's best friend, but as the girl grows up, Jessie is forgotten and eventually donated. Being reminded that Andy will eventually outgrow him is enough to temporarily convince Woody that living on display in a toy museum is better than being loved temporarily by a child.

Growing Up Sucks / int_82a6f3fe	comment	Peter Pan is the proverbial boy who refused to grow up. His Lost Boys remain young and immortal as long as they're with him. (And as long as they can keep from regaining any memories of their former lives in the real world.) At the end of the story, Wendy returns to the real world, grows up and has a family. When Peter Pan comes calling again, he informs her that she is too old to go back to Neverland and whisks her daughter away instead. Peter Pan plays with the idea that, while growing up sucks, not growing up also sucks (your friends leave you, and eventually die; you have perpetual forgetfulness and no family). It's hinted, when the Lost Boys leave, that they would have left at some point anyway; to quote the opening sentence, "All children, except one, grow up." In other words, while Peter urges everyone to stay with him and forbids growing old, no one but himself is capable of permanently resisting age—and, if you look at it another way, everyone but himself is capable of growing up. The original version of the story (Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens) has Peter run off while still a baby and get "raised" by birds (not growing up), and then meeting the fairies of Kensington Gardens, often joining them for playtime after the park has closed.

The official book adaptation by the songwriters addresses the Downer Ending by showing the adult Jackie Paper introducing his daughter to the dragon. On Captain Kangaroo the illustrations used to accompany this song included a big sign — But Wait!!! — at the very end, followed by a picture of a little cave boy knocking on the door of Puff's cave, and Puff embracing his new friend. Bob Keeshan was a genius.

Growing Up Sucks / int_8dd8ec81	comment	Older, pre-Sailor Moon Magical Girl series seemed to imply that their adventures and fantastic powers were simply metaphors to give them the strength to become... normal Japanese women and wives, who naturally shouldn't have powers greater than their husbands so they give them up. This seems to have created enormous cognitive dissonance, and starting with Sailor Moon most recent magical girls avert this, if they even bring up growing up at all. This would, however, help explain some of the more questionable bits of My-Otome... Notably inverted by Nanoha who, instead of giving up her powers and becoming a normal person, leaves the planet to become a legend. By the time of Force they had to take "Girl" out of the title since by that point she's a 25-year-old mother (via adoption) and still on the front lines. The fact that she has a relationship with an equally-powered woman might be of influence. One older magical girl that defied this, made in response to the advancement of women in business and politics at the time, was Magical Princess Minky Momo, whose power itself was to "grow up" into a competent career-woman and getting to do various amazing feats she couldn't do as a child, although the transformation was only temporary.

Growing Up Sucks / int_8f866e5c	comment	In the Sakura Wars (2000), Sakura is reminded that as she grows up, her "spirit power" will fade and she will have to pass her beloved and long-fought-for sword to the next generation. The said reduction in "spirit power" is later the cause of Sumire's retirement, as well as Ratchet's withdrawal from field duty in the beginning of Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love. Though the second OVA (written before Tomizawa Michie's temporary retirement from the franchise) implied it could be 10 or more years for Sakura, and she would be too old to marry at that point... so it's not exactly tied with childhood. In fact, it seems to be more about using up your powers (as Ratchet already had a long history of service on three continents and Sumire was the first member of the team to ever pilot a suit of spirit armor).

Growing Up Sucks / int_967347ea	comment	Revolutionary Girl Utena is a Coming of Age Story where "growing up" apparently includes enduring terrible pain, sacrificing yourself for your best friend, then being erased from existence. However, the series is very open-ended, and often interpreted as a subversion or inversion where much of the conflict comes from refusal to grow up and face your emotional problem or attempting to grow up in ways that are actually very immature (mostly on the assumption of Sex as a Rite-of-Passage). Utena experience also may have let her Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, while Anthy abandoning her abusive brother and Ohtori Academy to "grow up" and follow Utena is a definite step up.

Growing Up Sucks / int_9bb5aad4	comment	Generally the entire third season of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is about this, at least in the original version: most of the bad characters initially tell Judai that he can't win because he doesn't have the "darkness in his heart" associated with growing up and facing pain and loss. Judai goes on to win anyway, but when his games result in the loss of friends, he has a Heroic BSoD and becomes the Supreme King, and he's never quite the same. Some of these character arcs are retained in season 4, where a Darker and Edgier Judai shies away from his friends, but is eventually forced to battle again when his friends' memories and, eventually, entire existences are erased. We then get it hammered home in his final duel with Yugi, where he remembers to always have fun dueling no matter how old you get.

Growing Up Sucks / int_b36b839d	comment	The film Hook, an unofficial sequel to Peter Pan, zigzags the trope by showing exactly why, while Growing Up Sucks, it's a necessary part of life. Instead of whisking Wendy's granddaughter away to Neverland, Peter instead chooses to stay in the real world with her, and finally grows up, forgetting his adventures in Neverland and becoming a rather boring lawyer with a family of his own (married to Wendy's granddaughter, natch). He then returns to Neverland to rescue his children from Captain Hook, and has a grand time reliving his childhood adventures, but eventually realizes that he can't get this life back, and his children need him to be a responsible adult. On the other hand, he also comes to a realization that being a stuffy adult is not actually being "responsible", and that he still needs to retain some childlike enjoyment of life (as symbolized by his trashing his cell phone). A clear turning point in his worldview is the happy thought he uses to fly again: the memory of his son's birth. Not everything about becoming an adult is terrible, it would seem...

People lose this ability and forget everything that happens to them in their early infancy once they begin talking. (Mary Poppins has somehow managed to retain both her early memories and abilities, which is how she communicates with both animals and with the younger, pre-toddler-age Banks children.) It's always vaguely implied (and definitely fanon) that while the Banks family and the world they live in is human, Mary herself is supernatural. A popular theory is that she's a fairy of some sort, temporarily exiled from her usual world (which is why she comes and goes from the Banks' lives like she does). It would certainly explain a lot about her, if it's true.

Growing Up Sucks / int_b77d8cec	comment	Kero Kero Bonito regularly addresses this as a common theme in their music, mostly in their first mixtape, Intro Bonito. While they have a consistent sound of innocence and nostalgia, there's usually an undercurrent of anxiety with the idea of adulthood, with some songs also tackling increasingly relevant "mature" topics such as sexism, racism, loneliness and depression, parenting, and death. An excerpt from "Let's Go To the Forest: Its follow-up, Bonito Generation, also addresses the idea of growing up, but is conversely a far more idealistic take, acknowledging that while various troubles exist, it can still be approached with joy and innocence. A few songs even directly tackle "grown-up" activities with an upbeat playfulness, like finding a job ("Try Me") and graduation ("Graduation"). A few years later, the scale switched back with Time 'n' Place, which on top of directly dealing with more with more existential and melancholy themes, interlinking comforting nostalgia with an increasingly close and uncertain future, the album is audibly more cloudy and anxious, mixing in their typical MIDI-pop sound with dissonant and unsettling Noise Pop vibes.

Growing Up Sucks / int_b8b584cf	comment	One of the most popular strips in Zits has Jeremy's mom grabbing him, unzip his body to reveal his six-year-old self. Then they spend several panels doing whatever activities a six-year-old would do with his mother (but a teen wouldn't be caught dead doing) before going back in his body and zipping it back up. It's an unusual example in that the trope is being applied to the mom about the kid - Jeremy has so far shown no nostalgia for his childhood.

The title refers to the main character's urge to keep kids, especially his little sister, from growing up and losing their innocence. He mishears the words to "Coming through the Rye" by Robert Burns and imagines himself standing by a cliff at the edge of a field of rye where children are playing, and if any of them get too close to the cliff, he catches them. In the end he realizes that you can't protect kids forever — but he must not have handled it well, since he's narrating the story from inside a mental institution.

Growing Up Sucks / int_d502170c	comment	PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon has the Eevium Z sidequest. It starts off with a man named Kagetora, who had to give up his goal to defeat the best Eeveelution trainers 30 years ago to settle down with a family and get a job as a cashier at a megamart to make ends meet. He tells you to go find and defeat the trainers instead. The sidequest starts to come to this when you realize what happened to the Eeveelution trainers; The Glaceon trainer decided to give up battling to settle down and live with her family, the Leafeon trainer is trying to maintain her beauty and youth via various treatments but is slowly coming down with arthritis, the Jolteon trainer has forgotten about Kagetora and appears to have Alzheimer's, the Vaporeon and Flareon trainers became janitors, the Espeon trainer remained as a Janitor at the power plant, the Umbreon trainer is chronically ill, and the Sylveon trainer died a year before the game events, leaving her Sylveon with her granddaughter. After beating all of them, they tell a somber anecdote about life and then tell you that they asked how Kagetora is doing. When you finally defeat Kagetora, he thanks for doing what he failed to do years ago and leaves you his Eevium Z. The sidequest shows how life doesn't always go to plan, and shows how one can't rely on PokÃ©mon battling to make ends meet.

In Piplup's case, he'd rather remain in his base stage permanently to preserve his memories of meeting Dawn. Pikachu and Bulbasaur want to prove their worth and strength without ever evolving, while Meowth hates his evolved form. Considering that it's common for PokÃ©mon to completely change their personality upon evolving, it's justified why some of them don't want to change.

Growing Up Sucks / int_dbb68ab6	comment	The Chronicles of Narnia: Children eventually outgrow permission to visit Narnia, because, according to Aslan, the point of meeting him in Narnia is so they may grow to know him by "his real name" on Earth. Everyone gets to return in the last book, however, because they've died in an accident in their world and arrived in Narnian heaven. Everyone, that is, except Susan, who refuses to believe in Narnia any more, and wasn't with them when they died, though she'll probably join them once she does. Maybe, as Susan wasn't a 'friend' of Narnia anymore because of the infamous 'lipstick and nylons' quote. Two schools of thought exist, one that CS Lewis wanted to punish her for entering sexual maturity and preferring that to Narnia. The offical one was she became shallow, vain and attached to material things. C.S. Lewis himself said that Susan might well get back to Narnia someday; 'In her own time, and in her own way.' Interestingly, in a Truth in Television subversion, C. S. Lewis comments that the desire to look and act "grown up" is itself a mark of immaturity:

Growing Up Sucks / int_fcfa999b	comment	FLCL plays with this. Naota wants to act like a grown up as he sees adults as immature for him. Though eventually comes to learn that the reason they do is because most miss their childhood and it's a way to keep that spirit of excitement alive through the bevy of responsibilities they now have (jobs, families, dealing with relationship issues, running organization, etc). Naota dealing with many of these at his age constantly overwhelms him despite trying to be more mature then he really is. Ultimately the series main aesop is that there's no reason you can't grow up to be an adult and not have fun in the process. Trying to be more mature then you are when you're younger will only rob you of that experience. His third season counterpart Kana has a very contrasting mindset, but it spells out this trope all the same. Her defiance to accept her growing adulthood tends to hurt the people around her, to the point that Pets breaks ties with her before the finale.
