Growing up to soon?

So when I'm drawing i like to do two things; 1. listen to music and sing quite loudly and 2. Think.

So i was thinking the other day what is the deal with the world wanting us to grow up so fast? I mean i personally feel that being forced to make decisions regarding my future at such a young age have lead me to a dead end in my current future. I mean kids don't get to be kids anymore... to much responsibilities put upon them too soon in their lives.

So in the UK we have to choose subjects to study in Year 9!!! and the subjects we choose then are supposed to be the ones we want to be able to help us in our future career choice. Who wants to think about having a career in year 9, that is just ridiculous. Now I'm not saying doing things this way doesn't work for everyone, for some, it does, they choose these subjects and carry them through to university and end up in the career of their choice, but for me this is just not the case. Im 20 and i still have no idea where i want my life to go, right now i just want to see the world and hope that this will gain me some insight into different cultures and help me grow up just a little bit, because i in no way feel ready  to take on responsibilities of having a full time job that i will be stuck in for the remainder of my life and owning a house, i mean i can barely look after myself living with my parents let alone thinking about having my own family. 

My parents have gone away for a week and i have been left in charge of looking after the dog and the house, and I'm struggling, I'm not going to lie, 
if looking after a fussy dog is this hard god only knows how hard an actual human being would be to look after!! 

Any way coming back from my tangent, i know not a lot of people will read this and i know its not going to change anything but i think forcing kids to make decisions on something they don't want to think about really isn't practical. i believe our system needs revising. Let us go through life making the wrong decisions so that when the time is right we will know exactly where we want our lives to end up.
