I asked this question because I sometimes feel that being an adult is difficult because they have to deal with bills, work, and family. I mean I am a kid but I am miserable. My life kinda sucks because when I want something I have to ask my parents and it is always a NO when I ask. I feel that being an adult is easy because of the money, but i never knew anything about liking your job or dealing with it everyday. I am very scared of growing up and I am scared that I might not succeed. But I guess I have to try my best. I only thought that being adult is just making money and buy stuff. I guess growing up could be harder than it looks.

There's no need for you to be scared. It will be worse if you are. I gave you the idea that my life is really easy and I have to admit that it is but then again I had a pretty tough childhood so I always look at things in a positive way. Also I see my life now as a compensation for the bad times. But you know, with age comes greater responsability and for now you're free of that.
What Zagatto said is very important. Get a good education! I could have chosen a different degree, one that I liked better, but I knew that with a History or a Journalism degree I'd never earn the same amount of cash I will with a Computer Engenieering degree. You have to be pragmatic but you don't need to be afraid. Besides you're only 14 so you can still take it easy. For now you can still enjoy having no responsabilities.
Oh, and if your parents don't give you the things you want then you could really get a job. Just so you can get enough cash to by your personal things like anime or video games.
Also, don't forget that being a grown up has its compensations.
