I would never forget the day when the doctor announced that I had lymphoma. It was the darkest moment of my young life. At that point in time, I had absolutely no idea what caused lymphoma, let alone what it was. I never knew that such a thing existed, neither did I know that it was a common form of cancer in young adults. I had no idea that I had lymphoma. It was only when lymph nodes started swelling in my neck that I knew that something was wrong. At first, I was adamant to go to a doctor. I only
this is the age of children attending primary school and early secondary school. While it is admittedly true that with stress and a heavy workload, children do have lesser time for themselves, it would be exaggerated to say that there is no such thing as childhood anymore.

The Age of Responsibility is a really hard topic to discuss. Around the U.S. we have many different ages that determine adulthood.
