If it was possible to prevent kids from growing up into adults would you prevent them from growing up?

What would give me that right?

If they don't want to grow up, I might help them achieve that aim. If it was someone I was romantically involved with, it would definitely be appealing to me.

But if they want to grow up, then that's their choice and their right.

My body, my choice. Their body, their choice. Who am I to decide for someone else? If our choices go in a similar direction, be it so.

My feelings exactly, it would make some things easier, but would not want to force it on a kid.

This is a tough one. I think it should be their choice. But I should also say that while I was a young teen, I was so ready to grow up and be an adult. Before reaching my teens, I never thought about it. But now, as an adult, I really miss being a kid. It is pretty complicated I would have to say.

I never perceived myself as older than 15 and I would like to stay 15 years old.
