A lot of people feel this way, it's actually extremely common.
I felt this way when I was in junior high and high school because those were horribly tough times for me, but now that I am an adult and have realized the level of control I have over my life and the fact that I have a lot more privileges and freedom as an adult than I did as a child, I love adulthood. Yes, some responsibilities are not fun and are a pain in the ass, but most of the time they make me feel productive and accomplished, and even if they don't and are purely a pain in the ass, I think the privileges and freedom I get in return are a fair tradeoff.
I do think life seemed simpler when I was younger because I had no knowledge of politics, the hardships going on in the world, that there are quite a few things that can put a damper in one's hopes and dreams, etc., but I just do the best with what I have, and be thankful for it.
I think as you get older, you start to care less about what others think of you, as well. I was most insecure about what others thought about me as a teen, and have begun to care less and less as I've gotten older. Life really does get a lot better and easier once you learn to let others' opinions go through one ear and out the other.
I miss being a young kid
