Which one is correct ' grow' or ' grow up'? And what is the difference between them?

If you study abroad, you should sort out( or take care of ??) everything( your affairs??) on your own, so you can grow ( or grow up?) personally.

If the above sentence does not sound natural, what do you say? Need your help.
 
"To grow up" means to evolve from being a child to being an adult. "To grow" can mean to develop physically or to improve (spiritually, personally, intellectually etc).
 
How about you will have to take care of/handle everything, rather than you should....
 
Please look at your spacing with the quotation marks and parentheses.
