Has it in one. You probably aren't significantly more mature than anyone your age. Even if you are, it doesn't mean your friends are immature, rather that you are just abnormally so. Everyone likes to think they are more mature and intelligent than their peers. The vast majority are wrong. I used to be that way myself.SmartIdiot said:
It's the same as I said to Demented Teddy, go out and hang out and do useless stuff. It's more important in forming your identity than you might think. Staying online constantly will do you nothing in the long run, you'll probably never meet the people you talk to, noone in the real world will care about your fantastic posts, and you sure as hell can't put your post count or friends count down on a CV. The stuff you do outside is more fun and far more useful.
Yeahhhh. I can tell you now, dont be mature! Not untill your at least 16. Kick loose. Lay back. Relax. Everything gets fucked up when you get a job so enjoy school and being immature.
Goddamn, you said it so much better than I ever could. Except for me you can maybe add a "pompous" to that "dumbass kid." I have more fun as an immature 21-year-old then I ever had as an oh so mature 13-year-old. Looking back, those years would have been a lot better if I had just pulled my head out of my ass.SimuLord said:
Amen. It's tempting to advance status on some electronic proving ground, whether here or World of Warcraft, but in the end the best benefits you'll get out of it pale in comparison to the things you'd reap spending the same amount of time in real life activities. Some comment sections, particularly on political blogs, can approach family/real-life friend status, but they can also be a little pathetic too. If you're well-liked by ten or twenty anonymous people on the internet, what do you get out of that?BeeRye said:
ohmahjeezuz long post
In the end, though, at least getting out there and meeting people is healthier than sitting on a computer all day. It actually allows one to develop proper social skills, so they know how to act around someone without a keyboard in front of them.
That is more along the lines of every pop culture whore, not every teenager.Koganesaga said:
This, as well, for me. Everyone I hang out with in college tells me that I have an old soul (mostly seniors saying this to a freshman). I guess the people I hung around with always saw me as the 'forty-year-old-stick-in-the-mud-trapped-in-a-teenager's-body,' mostly due to my refusal to engage in stupid/self-destructive behavior and I kept trying to dissuade them from doing stupid shit ("Maybe you shouldn't jump off that cliff...").Julianking93 said:
I was like that a few years back; more adult friends than people my own age. College does change a lot things (you find a lot of people your age who are just as jaded as you are). As far as humor is concerned, the 'dirty' jokes tend to be made more by people that age simply due to, well, inexperience. :V Everybody has their own sense of humor, though.The Warden said:

Ha. One of my mother's friends says the same about me.Mogsworth said:
She describes me as an "old wise wandering soul"
I like being around older people myself especially when they compliment me like that
Define "mature."
I still think stupid sex jokes are hilarious, as do my friends. I'm eighteen.
However, I'm off to college next year; my GPA's a 3.9, I've been in a steady relationship with an amazing girl for a year-and-a-half, and I have a job.
Then again, I procrastinate horribly.
Am I mature? Who knows. People grow up when they have to, and just because you like fart jokes doesn't make you childish in a meaningful way.

Yes, you're so mature.
Why do you even look at all these children your age?
You should take your life seriously - get a job, marry, have kids, work your ass off for 25 years so that your wife can cheat on you behind your back and your kids can hate your guts while you continue to struggle with the another nervous breakdown and the fact that your prostate is acting up and...
But seriously:
Be a child as long as you can.
I'm 25 and when I look at all the "grown ups" my age, I don't want to be like them.
They look 10 years older than me and they've turned into shallow materialists with no goals in life other than getting old and dying.
You don't want that to happen to you, trust me.

I'm in high school, and I find that most people my age act very immature. It's not the age group; you just have to find mature people. I have a friend who is a year and a half younger than me, and he acts at least (probably more) mature than I do, and I believe that I am also mature for my age.
Please define "too mature"... (Not trying to be rude, just want to understand what you mean)-Orgasmatron- said:
You're 13...
You're not mature.
No, don't try and prove to me that you are, you're not. You might think you are, but you're wrong. Lots of kids go through this stage, I did too, when you're a little older you'll realise you weren't nearly as mature as you believed yourself to be.

Being only 20, I can look back and realize how dumb I was, and I have no doubt that in 5 years, I will look back and realize how dumb I am now. Trust me OP, things like that get better with age.Dideriksen said:Ain't that the truthSimuLord said:
ONTOPIC :the older you get, the more you will look back at your "former" self, and think you were immature when you were younger.
Don't forget, you will learn things your entire life, with each passing moment, you will become more and more mature
just you wait and see, when you are 18, you will think you were just as much of an immature kid like everyone else at the age of 13, so... my conclusion? meh, were all children of men
Are not most teenagers pop culture whores? That's how anyone who was considered popular behaved, like a spoiled little shit, who felt they were god's gift to the world and were entitled to everything. Best example I can think of, some little shit is using one of those extending rulers (not measuring tape, it's a wooden thing that folds out) and he was poking the kids who were trying to sleep (it was a bus that had kids up at 4-5 in the morning so they could commute to a better school) and nobody stepped in, they just went along with is and laughed. One day, one of the kids seemed to get tired of the shit, and took the ruler away from him, and the kid flipped shit like he was the victim, as if he had done nothing wrong and this kid is suddenly picking on him, and all the other kids agreed with him. A blatant lie yet nobody disagrees, they just mindlessly being used like tools builds to build a house of mental confusion. Apparently this kid had to be sent away for social conditioning because he couldn't begin to grasp why these things are good and acceptable, despite him having a mature perspective and a sense of right from wrong. Basically I'm saying kids are stupid, very very stupid, but no matter how stupid it is, its always right even if the opposing force is actually the just cause.Mogsworth said:
i have had the same problem, i matured a lot faster then most of my friends and some off the stuff they did kinda got on my nerves, I've grown to just brush it off.
