| 305695 | 2004-12-21 18:27:00 | My mother alternated between two replies to this question from curious kids. She was either 21 or 100. My grandmother's version was :" The same age as my tongue - and a little older than my teeth." I've decided to be 30 again (even if it does lay Mr Laura open to some serious charges over the age of his child bride...) |

| 305697 | 2004-12-23 08:03:00 | The poll is hardly fair seeing as there is a 20yr group for the first and only a 10yr group for the rest....... Im under the age of ten, hence my asking for it ;-) |

| 305699 | 2004-12-23 08:57:00 | Because our school refuses to move people up levels (no, joining in a higher level class of six people, that no one else likes does NOT count), I can't say we have much age difference within our classes. The only cases are those that were moved up in their primary schools (that, if I may add for grudge's sake, weren't racist). For this reason you would not expect any difference in maturity between them. I however find that completely different. I am a hypocrite I'll say that now, but I find people commenting that others of their age are immature slightly arrogant. The truth that I have found is that no one can escape maturity, for it only comes with wisdom and life experience. You try and tell me that you are, say, 14 and are as mature as your 15 year old peers, but I beg to differ. I believe that what you are infact referring to is not maturity but more a dampened down version of it - you are, as lagbort touched on, surrounded (perhaps) by those older than you, and so are forced (in order to fit in) to act like them, think like them, and discuss like them. In my opinion you are still the youngin' bursting with energy and the desire to break rules and annoy people inside, but you suffocate that need. Unfortunately I have never seen this suffocation successfully. There are many occassions that I have seen the "maturer" younger person do things completely differently, in a somewhat more childish manner than an older person faced with the same problem. Now I'm not trying to define maturity, I'm just saying that from what I know, the act-as-your-peers-would is exactly that. Sure, the higher end of your attitude spectrum (i.e. the part that tells you to shut up to keep quiet in church) is more founded, but the lower end still doesn't know how to not act. To top my entire misworded, horribly phrased, and negligible opinion, I find that when people say that they are more mature than others their age they are infact referring to the fact that others do not take life as seriously. Sure this lack of seriousness extends occassionally into blatant rudeness but when it comes down to it, these "immature" "brats" (as some may say) are the same as others there age. (By the way, I have taken the liberty of making a huge generalisation, and the first person to disagree with me gets coal for Christmas, 'cause I'm immature and I'll cry to my mummy). You know what? Scratch everything I just said. I'm not one to delete paragraphs so I won't do it for you. What I'm trying to say is that especially untill you've finished high school, you're not mature enough to determine how mature you yourself are, and you are even less able to determine your maturity compared to others. Why? Because a) you can't possibly b) no one will believe you and c) the second you say something everyone will bring you down and call you a hypocrite (just watch). ramble.end(); |

| 305700 | 2004-12-23 09:12:00 | ramble.end(); - Gotta try that some time on MSN - you know when somebody is rambling like this typing every second word on a new line pretty much at the interval an asthmatic would breathe. And it's really boring... Not that your speech .. er, post ... was like that Growly. |
