Age vs maturity.

One thing i can't understand, is why adults always think that we teenagers are young and immature and not in character and not ready. For bgr i mean. Hey. Just because we are teenagers, that doesnt mean that we are not mature. I have seen adults even more immature than some of us teenagers. So what right do adults have to say that we are not to go into bgr? Maturity is not determined by age. It is determined by the way how someone acts or thinks. So just because we're young, that doesnt mean that we are immature.

I just cant stand it when adults say that we arent ready for relationships. So when are we theoretically ready? When we are old and have a 'mature' character? Nahh i beg to differ. I dont want to be like the adults, zombie-like, law-abiding 'good citizens'. So rigid in their thinking. Adults arent flexible in their mind at all. They do not know how to think out of the box. All they know is to follow the 'guidelines' set by the higher-ups.

One example would be school socks. (Random example). The adults are always stressing that we must only wear school socks. But does the colour and type of our socks affect our studies? I mean, as long as the socks are comfortable, thats all that matters right? The type of socks that we wear to school isnt important at all. Yet, the adults place so much importance on it. Isnt this a great example of how adults are just rigid in their thinking? Idk. Maybe i am just being me again, thinking too much.

But anyways back to the topic. Just because we are young, that still doesnt mean that we cant be in a bgr. Adults say we cannot commit and cannot focus on studies? Well that is a bunch of bull. Who says we cannot focus on studies? Infact i think we may even do better because the couple are both helping each other, encouraging each other, and with a drive to do well, our studies will actually improve. And who says we cant commit? What i do know is that we can commit ourselves. And adults themselves also cant really commit. Since they have work and stuff. So doesnt that contradict with whatever that they are telling us?

What i am just trying to say is that, teenagers and adults arent all that different. We are all still part of the human race. We are all still human beings. We all have one heart. So what is it that makes us so different? Age? Age is not a factor. Your own mindset is. So all those teenagers out there, dont believe everything the adults say. No one is perfect in this world. Not even adults. They make mistakes too, they make wrong perceptions.

Learn from the past. Live in the present. Anticipate the future. While we are still young and still teenagers, we should enjoy our time right now. I dont ever want to become an adult without a childhood worth remembering and mentioning. When i grow up, i dont want to tell my children that i spent my childhood studying everyday. Life is short. Embrace it, treasure it :)

Long post. Hope you dont get too bored of reading all these :P
