Create a thesis statement on the topic: "growing up".

"when i was little i was always dressing up in mommy's high heels and playing with her makeup. i couldn't wait to grow up! now i wish i could stop the clock and go back."

so my paragraphs are going to be divided into elementary age, middle school aged, and high- about the pros and cons of each stage. i'd like my thesis statement to be meaningful, to make the reader understand that despite the odds everything always comes out alright.
