Dear Peter Pan,

              Why don't you want to grow up? Most people want to grow up as quickly as possible, so why are you different? Sure you live in Neverland, and sure you can fly, but never growing up? I need to ask why? I know being a boy is so much fun, but wouldn't you like to be respected. Don't you want to be called, "mature"? Peter, being a boy might seem to be all fun and games, but you will always be different as a boy. People will call you strange if you remain a boy until you die. Most kids can't control these things, but you seem like you can. A small boy cannot be young forever, they must grow old, yet you Peter, can remain young. I’ve always wondered how you could do that. Growing up, no matter how hard you try, might be impossible. Maybe you never want to grow up because you can’t. Peter, I feel bad for you. You will never have a wife, you will never have kids to love, and you will never be successful. Never growing up might seem fine and dandy, but if you really, truly, think about it, it isn’t all that amazing.


From,
Cassie
