DAMN!
You do tend to overuse the exclaimation mark though. Remember, the less you use it the greater the indivdual effect will be.
Annoyingly pernickety Nazi away! *stamp, stamp, stamp*
You are not supposed to be mature at 13.seydaman said:Anyone else get this problem? I'm 13 and almost everyone my age isn't mature enough to really do ANYTHING with, I spend most of my social interaction time hanging out with my older brothers friends and people online (Ventrilo), anyone else have to happen to them?
Agreed. I know I'm not schizophrenic (holy pie I spelled that right first time *starts devouring large portions of Oxford Dictionary*) as I am always aware of how I act. It is kinda fun to not always be the same boring person.ArcWinter said:Ooh, ooh, I actually have something to say!
Maturity is an illusion. It is an arbitrary standard that means nothing except how much other people trust you, which, if they get to know you, they should trust you anyway. So, maturity is simply a way for people to generalize you. Which we all know doesn't work and is bad. So, you aren't more "mature" than other people, you are just... wiser, I guess would be the closest meaning. And wise people all know that being considered "mature" is another word for "REALLY BORING". In other words, I advise tooling around at maximum retardancy.
As for me, I frequently switch between personalities. I can go from a 4-year old at his birthday party to a 30-year old bored nihilist to a 17-year old anarchist. And I'm only 15. I can't wait until I'm older and have more viewpoints. Gotta catch 'em all.
Oh really? Then just pop in some Ritalin and you will be normal again! Tum-de-dum tee-dumdimensione510 said:I have mild OCD and ADD (or ADHD, not sure) so I try my hardest to be mature. I can sit still for several hours as long as I'm stimulated, but if the class is doing something stupid/boring then I'll goof of and start playing with a ruler or something.
Well, it's a matter of context. Doing it to a friend who you know will take it in stride is one thing. Doing it to someone random however is immature.SuccessAndBiscuts said:Actually I was hurt, running a piano into your foot is not fun. Also are you saying it was not wrong of us to break into someones room and move their stuff?TOGSolid said:SuccessAndBiscuts said:You make valid points but I cant help feeling included in the above comment there is nothing wrong with sometimes having a bit of "immature" fun, its all contextual. I enjoy my day to day life but sometimes its fun just to pull a daft practical joke or something.TOGSolid said:Look at all the tools in this thread that think you need to cherish your childhood because you'll never have fun in life again.
At one point this year myself and a couple of flatmates managed to gain entry to another flatmate's room. We stole her piano, and hid it in the kitchen. The sheer bewilderment when she came home was one of the funnyest things ive ever seen and after she found it we carefully returned it to her room. Mature? No. Funny? Yes. Something we will all laugh and reminice about years later? Totally.
No one was hurt, and everyone had a laugh. There's nothing wrong with a good bit of fun. Once again, maturity has a lot more to do with having a good sense of responsibility, knowing right from wrong, and all that other stuff than just being super serious all the time.
Im not disagreeing just wondering where you draw the line, in my mind that was immature but also harmless and funny.

On topic, people aren't always mature. It's a peculiar side affect of life, but there you go.
Hate to tell you but some people just never grow up I'm currently 15 and I got told on today for chewing gum in class. I'm in grade 10.seydaman said:Anyone else get this problem?
