Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor You are 11 and going to be 12 in some time but the thought of getting older make you feel depressed with thoughts that your childhood is over. See to some extent this type of thought is seen in a lot of individuals as this is a normal part of life cycle. Every human passes through life cycle from infantile period to childhood to adolescent to adult to elderly stage. No stage is fixed, and we are born to get older and to work and to achieve something. So don't take tension of this thing, if the problem is really bothersome then consult with your parents and visit a psychiatrist. Thanks
