Yeah when I was 13 I was hanging out with 15 year olds...
I'm nearing 17 now and they all act the same; oh well :p

What I really can't stand is sex jokes though..

Yes!
I'm - and I know this probably sounds egotistic - usually told that I am a lot more mature than others by adults.
This of course leads me to having more adult friends than friends my age because I am cast out for having a sense of humor that goes further than gay jokes, penis jokes, and various other dirty jokes.
Also I don't dress like a fucking idiot, a.k.a I don't wear hats sideways, stupid ass glasses, those godforsaken Fred shirts, lord knows how many wristbands, and pants that are hanging around my knees.

Yeah, I'm 21 and most people my age act like they're 14. Only now they have the ability to legally drink themselves silly. Alcohol+ immaturity= BAD

<color=purple> Yea...i would just find the more mature 13 year olds, or you could get older friends. My closer friends include a couple that are quite older than me. It is kinda nice.

I think there is a line to when acting immature and having fun. If you haven't acted immature as a kid or a young adult once in a while than you are probably boring and bland.

Of course as long as you weren't too immature.

Everyone is immature. 19 years old and my friends and I still act like 12 year olds. My brother is 27 and he acts like he's 8.

You will find one or two mature people around your age, but really don't hold your breath for one.

Most of my friends are older than I am, so I honestly can't say whether I have that issue or not.

Nobody is supposed to be mature at 13. You don't even have to be mature until you are 18. Anyway its not that great, once people get mature they get boring and a little stuck up.

I searched your comment for a grammatical inaccuracy and could not find one...

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*
: D
I usually proofread my comments before I post, so I won't be attacked by a Gramar Nazi when I try to be one myself. But thanks for the exclamation mark tip though, I'll keep it in mind from now on!!
[sub]was that right?[/sub]

Also, it's nice to see I'm not alone in my "Grammar Nazi"-dom. (I mean that in the nicest possible way : ) I just enjoy seeing other people putting a little effort into their posts.
I haet ppl hwo rite leik dis!

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.
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.

Although there are times when being too immature is a serious problem. For instance I know 14 year olds who down Smirnoffs at parties and then swear loudly about their friends who are five meters away. That is what I call immature. But again that's just opinion. I get the sneaking suspicion that a helpful grammar nazi will quote this post...

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.
Oh really? Then just pop in some Ritalin and you will be normal again! Tum-de-dum tee-dum :D

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.
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.

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.
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?

Im not disagreeing just wondering where you draw the line, in my mind that was immature but also harmless and funny.
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.

Oh look people full of ego thinking their so much more mature than everyone else.
They're. Your welcome.
On topic, people aren't always mature. It's a peculiar side affect of life, but there you go.
You're and Effect. You're welcome.

It's usually a good idea to make sure your right before you criticise someone else.

Yes, I know

When I was 13 I could spell "aren't" correctly.
Oh, that's just mean... I approve.

OT: I spent a long time trying to convince myself that I was more mature than my peers. I've since accepted the fact that I am much, MUCH less mature than most of them. My advice to you is that you just get over it (no offense intended), everyone else is probably thinking just about the same things you are. Also, don't expect them to get much better. You've got a lot of high school and college left--you might as well enjoy the crude jokes and mindless pranks while they're still somewhat socially acceptable to do in public.

What's with the entire 'mature'thing? I'll admit that I also seek out mature people to hang out with. But I also realise that young people today try to shake off immaturity in a way too early age. The best people are those that can be both mature and immature. It's these people who will most likely be able to keep their inne child alive through most of their adult lives, and that child is important for some of those simple plesaures in life.
