Jenny Michaels is an ordinary young girl who has many interests in her life including: dancing, wanting her own puppy, getting rid of zits on her face, and improving her math grades. Jenny may think her problems are the only huge ones that exist on the planet, but little does she realize her young adult after school care teachers: Mr. Keno, Miss Monica, Mr. Jimmy, and Miss Kaitlyn have their own issues to deal with. From working past troubled teenage years to dealing with difficulties in dating, being a young adult can be also be difficult, especially when you still have to prepare lesson plans and help your students with their own large series of personal issues.

Growing Up Isn't Easy features multiple short stories that look at the trials and tribulations that occur when you're growing up as a child and still growing up as a young adult, and shows that there's still plenty to learn no matter what your age.
