Hi all, Alice here! 

As we age and mature, more is expected of us, but not always in a good way... 

The problem is some people expect too much of you when you simply aren't ready or able to do what they desire. It's frustrating.

I struggle a lot with what teachers expect of me because some of the goals they are setting for me are very hard to achieve, and as hard as I try, I can't. I will later on, but I need time. 

Most people these days are extremely impatient and expect things to just happen with no work put forward. It feels like that at school sometimes and I'm sure most of you dolls who are students will agree. When teachers set us goals, we genuinely can reach them but the constant need to make that grade as soon as possible is just too much! 

It's not just with teachers and adults; it's with people of our age.

Even if they don't mean it, most friends are quite 'pushy' and try to make us do things we're simply not ready for. 

The key is to be open and tell them if they try to make you do something you dislike or something you are not ready for. 

Don't exect too much of your friends as, at the end of the day, we're all human and are learning new things all the time.

Be patient!

Stay safe!
