Minecraft: This doesn't feel like easy lol

So yeah, for my first adventure In minecraft, I set it to easy (yes, I'm a noob, I get it) But it sure doesn't feel like easy... normaly, I get a sh*t ton of creepers in front of my house (i put torches around so they wouldn't spawn... guess they can smell me 0-o) which I'm still figuring out how to take care off... and everytime I open a cave... THERES LIKE 15-35 MONSTERS IN EACH! And theres not even spawners! Holy f*cking sh*t! If this is how easy normaly is then I'm not even gonna touch the other difficultys...
