But you shouldn't give up because if you give up you will never learn how to do it.

I think there are a lot of things tough about being a kid. One thing hard about not being adult is that you can't go places by yourself.

But I know that all the hard rules for kids are there for a good purpose: so nothing bad happens to us.
