What is the central idea of the text? 1 Growing up doesn't happen overnight; instead, we grow
up gradually and experience significant
moments in our lives.
2 Making the wrong choices and decisions during important growing-up moments can have a
negative impact on our adult lives.
3 In order to learn from our growing-up moments, we need to recognize them as they are
happening rather than after the fact
4 Unlike our childhood experiences, becoming an adult is difficult and becomes more intense as
we get older.
