The Pain of Growing Up 

Realizing that you are expected to change your old ways and begin to mature, take on responsibilities, take charge of your life, depend on yourself - and being VERY scared to face these changes.
"I wish I was a kid again. I've realized that the world is quite a different place once you become older. We are all robots now, expected to operate a certain way. I have so many things that must be done, and I feel as though the fun times of my past are growing further and further away each day."
"Tell me about it. That's the pain of growing up."

Growing Pains 

Pain one experiences upon reaching a growth spurt normally immediately following or sometimes preceding one (varies person to person) normally does not occur while you have the actual growth spurt. The pain experienced is not felt in your bones rather it is in your muscles and tendons as they stretch to keep a proper length in proportion to the length of the bone. Primarily one will feel the pain in his/her legs but it is not out of the ordinary to experience the muscle pain in your arms as well. Typically you will experience growing pains between ages of 3 or 4 to about 18, again this varies from person to person depending on when puberty hits and how tall they are predicted to grow. Some individuals may never experience growing pains. If the pain is other than muscle pain and is felt in the bone you may have splints, or possibly a hairline bone fracture. Or if it is in the muscle and does not pass within a day or two you may have tendinitis.

The Growing Pains Paradox 

This is when you find yourself staying up late to do something that seems like a good idea at the time, but you regret it in the morning. Most commonly this occurs during television watching.

Commedian Jim Gaffigan has brought this issue to light during his stand up routines. In particular, Gaffigan goes into detail about staying up late to watch a Growing Pains marathon. This seems like a great idea at the time, but upon waking up...Growing Pains wasn't such a good idea afterall.

So essentially The Growing Pains Paradox is staying up late for anything that seems like a good idea in the evening. However, due to the lack of sleep you regret the decision in the morning.
"Uggh, why did I stay up last night watching a marathon of Ninja Warrior? I hate The Growing Pains Paradox!"
