What are the main similarities and differences between childhood and adulthood?

I think the main similarities between childhood and adulthood are that no matter how old you get, you're still learning something new every day. No one knows everything, and whether you're going to school or not, you still usually learn something, even if you don't really notice it. That's all I can really think of for similarities.

However, I can think of a lot of differences. One thing that sticks out in my mind is responsibility. Adults have way more responsibility than kids do. We think we have it hard, but adults actually have it way harder. They have to constantly think about money, living, children, all while managing their social lives. That's pretty overwhelming. Another thing that's different is expectations. Kids are expected to do about as many things as adults are, only for different things. While kids have to do good in school, adults have to do good at their job, and they're expected to pull their own weight. I think it'sinteresting to think that however different adults and kids may look differently, they share many qualities.
