I think I am, because there are a lot of people who reward those who behave badly and shout out in class by laughing with or at (I'm not too sure) them. It's rather like a game of keep-ups - they are constantly in the air because of their peers.

It seems that even the smarter people in my classes laugh or smile at them, but I mainly adopt a neutral expression. (ie. not smiling, not frowning) I hardly laugh at these disruptive comments as I don't see the point of laughing at things that are so immature.

These people constantly hinder their lessons and make it harder for me to laern things. This is not much of a problem for me and I have learnt to block out a lot of it, but I just rise above it. Those people will get kicked in the arse when they find that they leave school empty-handed.

Anyway, what do you think of this, and how mature do you think you are compared to your peers in classes?

I usually am, but sometiems it looks like I'm not because I laugh at immature things like people swearing a lot and falling down the stairs and such.

I'm older than my peers, but no more mature.
Probably less than most of them, actually. Certainly
much less than my professors, who are often about
my age.

It depends on what's going on for me.

For instance, when my friends and I were talking about parties in World Geography class, they had asked me if I had ever been to a huge blow-out one. I said no because they're pointless and if they only reason to go is to get drunk, then they're just stupid. Then I said I would much rather prefer a sophisticated party. Then they said, "Wow, you rich people really don't know how to have a party!" lol

I have also had interests and obsessions that definitely weren't for my age. From 12-14, I was obsessed with the first season of "Caillou". 'Nuff said.

Definately NOT.

My friends (and sometimes experiences) teached me a lot, so I've become a 3/4 normal human, so I've got the same immaturity as my peers. :D

I'm going to say yes, only because I am surrounded by these jocks, obnoxious people, and ditzy blondes.

I'm more calm, don't know if that means more mature.

I would be crushed if I was as mature as my poopooheaded peers, sadly I probably am.

Have you noticed that "immature" looks like the words "I'm mature"? :D

I feel that I am sometimes more mature than my peers but I don't think I'm more mature than all of them. I can be quite naive which pushes the matureness back a bit. So I say my matureness varies, and that might be a problem in the big wide world.

I have too say yes, because i`m very calm and i don`t like too be with them, i`ll rather be with my parents or some older kids/adault`s than my friends.
