Who feels that being mature at a young age might be a problem?

That’s kinda how I feel. My friend Lani, she’s the same age as me, and she wanted to have a mud fight. A mud fight!

What’s wrong with that? Those can be really fun?

I think that when you’re a kid you should act like a kid and a teenager a teenager but some people don’t hav the choice and have to grow up quick i.e in certain family situations which is sad.

:L the good old simple days :L

That’s what I’m thinking but it gets bigger then that. Sadly.

Well my whole life ive been a bit more mature then all my friends..when i was 4 i had to keep up my parents because they were always fighting.. i tried to keep em togather but it didnt work.. . got into stuff quicker and lost my imagination at a very young age…and got into a lot of problems… And so to answer this id say yes being mature at a young age CAN be a problem

Yes it could be. I was a bit too mature at a young age and hardly had friends. It’s difficult when everyone around you is still pretty childlike and you are already thinking ahead of your future etc.

It is not a problem because it even help you to gain some kind respect from pple above u and your mate.

Wait, wait, wait. Define “mature”. Like physically or mentally or what?? Because one girl was talking about a mud fight and I wouldn’t really put that in the mature category.

Mental aspect. And why not? A mud fight is having fun, knowing how to have fun and releasing your inner child is sure as hell mature to me.

thats pretty much the same as id have said.

as teh saying goes: you can take the man out of the boy, but you cant take the boy out of the man.

Well I mean Miguel, how would you feel if I came to your house and threw mud at you?

Exactly! That’s how I feel.

Haha, now I see what you mean, I was thinking more of like a friend date kind of thing :) now that would tick me off but knowing me, I’d laugh it off later :p

I had to mature really quickly so I could take care of my brother because my mum has always been an alcoholic so I to be a mother to him, ro protect him and practically raise him.

I really miss being able to feel what innocence was like and I see that as a problem. Having a childhood is important, it’s a stage in life and it shouldn’t be hurried. Adulthood is for adults. Kids should be allowed to be kids until they are physically mature.

i agree with you, i had sorta the same problem with my life. no exactly but i was “forced” to grow up much faster than i wanted to.

exactly then everyone told me to act like everyone else my age but its not rele something you can change - just who u r

yeah. and it sucks because you see everyone being no as careful if you wana say but you have a better judgement and can see if something can go wrong before everyone else and that sorta takes the fun away but, like it sucks because you feel like you lost your childhood and that time period where you can do things wrong and get away with it. but its so hard to change like you said.

like when i was 14 i seen the mistakes my brother and sisters made(all are older than me) and seen them get into trouble and then its like i dont want that so you try not to do what they did. then my dad went into the hospital when i as 14 or 15 and yeah i kinda had to be more mature and not kiddish. then at 16 i got a job(sorta forced) and my parents decided not to help me out anymore since i had a job. so i had to get and do almost everything myself. and i feel like i ended my teenage life so early and it sucked.

ive lost so many teenage years by 2 big events in my life. i am very mature for my age and sometimes yes it is a problem

throws mud at mig >:D

E

exactly :/

it might be a slight problem becuz you wuld most likely hang out with people older than yu ( becuz u shared the same maturity level) nd that culd cause some things,

I’m not sure how ‘mature’ I am as I don’t really know the definition of ‘mature’ anymore. That word has been banged around so much that it has no definition anymore.

I’d say I am mentally older than other teenagers my age as I have always done things before the ‘expected age’. I have very strong beliefs and I know exactly what I want to do when I want to do it, which is more than I can say for some people I know that are at least 2 years older than me.

I was mature when I was young, but that’s just because I was very intelligent. Now being physically mature, I was ahead of schedule to but it was not a problem because I was smart enough to not do anything detrimentally “stupid” in order to endanger myself or others. Including relationship matters.

I was mature at a fast rate, it really gave me an advantage academically, athletically and socially!
