That's what I thought at your age too. No offense but you and the 14 year olds are still dependents living at home (apologies if that's not the case) and are still at school. Better heads on your shoulders than your peers, perhaps, but mature, no. I've been out of home since 18, working to support myself, and in the last few years, support my mother. I have my own place and total independence, and yet I'm still far from maturity.SinJester said:Jitterbug I'm 17 I do know mature 14 year olds. Girls usually mature faster that guys. I think you will find most 14 year old guys are less mature. Still even if they are less mature you are just going to have to accept it unless you want to wait untill your 30 and women actually start showing some maturity.
As for girls maturing faster than guys at that age, it's feminist bullsh!t which totally ignores biological differences dictating different social behaviours. When you get older and have a bigger gap in age with the teenagers, you'll see why.
You can talk to your friends at school and while you're out doing things together. If you have free time to burn on a computer, go play sports, work out, learn a language or do something worthwhile. Cut down on the idiot box, I mean, TV as well. You don't build up any social skill worth a damn by sitting in front of the TV frying your brain or typing random chat text to people whose body language you can't observe and tonality you can't listen to.lol your sterotyping again. Not everyone tlks liek dis 0n msn. It's a problem if it's stopping you from seeing people face to face, but otherwise it's a good supplement. If all the girls are using it we don't we. It's a good way to really get to know people, and its great for rapport. How's it kill your social skills if you still go out a lot but go on MSN instead of watching TV?
Girls do a lot of silly things. You guys can imitate them if you want, but have a good think about it before you fall to peer pressure like sheep.
