Is it normal to be scared of growing up?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to feel scared about growing up. Change, responsibility, and not knowing what comes next can feel like a lot, even when part of you is excited too.

Growing up can mean more choices and freedom, but also more responsibility and uncertainty. It’s very common to feel nervous about leaving familiar routines or wonder whether you’ll be ready for what comes next. You don’t have to feel excited about every part of it to be growing at your own pace.

Try focusing on the next step rather than your whole future at once. If the fear is making everyday life feel hard, talking it through with someone you trust can help.
