writes:Hello :)Okay so long story short virtually everyone I know thinks I am immature. I admit, I can be a little silly at times. I laugh at things others don't find funny, for example parts of kung fu panda which I was practically weeing myself over whilst others didn't even crack a little grin. I can sometimes be a little... naive and slow. I thought Argentina was in Europe, along with Equador. Geography isn't a strong point in my family, however I'm pretty much a genius at english haha :) I am often slightly over enthusiastic about things and I get distracted easily. At times I have thought that I had ADD, however whenever I told someone about my theory they thought I was joking and making fun of it, which I find insulting. Not to sound conceited, but I can be very funny at times. There are very few people who respect me and appreciate me (two of my best friends are a great example, however they do have the same humor as me) I often feel belittled my people I know, and I get fed up of being called "immature" everywhere I turn. Although you wouldn't expect me to be belittled, I am 13 and 5ft 9, haha. Is there anyway I can prove to people that I'm not immature? I'm not planning on making a big speech to prove it or anything though haha. I was just wondering how I should resolve this. Thankyou for you help! :)

 You're 13 for heaven's sake! Enjoy yourself as long as you're not upsetting anyone else. From the perspective of a 40 year old it is those 13 and 14 year olds who are trying too hard to be mature that look a little bit ridiculous.

im exactly the same honey dont even brake sweat over it.
its just the way you are,YOUR sense of humour!!
if you find little things funny you go ahead and laugh at them,honestly dont prove yourself to nobody,its you and you will be respected in the long run for being unique and if these people are really BOTHERD about you being "immature" they should maybe come and have a chat with you first and actually get to know you,then they'd see that your just the same as everybody else just that you find diffrent things funny?
and dont worry about the whole geography thing i thought brazil was in australia! hahh. good luck babess xx

At your age you probably have at least a few classmates that are already drinking and having sex and being taken advantage of by others, but you've got the rep for "immaturity" because you laugh at the wrong thing?
You will have the last laugh, trust me.

reader, anonymous, writes (28 July 2009): Misinformed knowledge and humor preference does not dictate the maturity of a person. Maturity is the ability to interact with others through tact and consideration and how to deal with issues and scenarios as they come.By the way, you are thirteen years of age. I would not expect anyone to be as 'mature' as a wizened oak at that age. If you are, consider letting loose a little and enjoy your youth while you can. For example, my companions often come to me for 'advice' and opinion. I also rarely laugh at anything and my observing nature combined with the occasional chuckle or smirk, comes off as 'condescending'. However, some of the oddest things in this world can make me explode in laughter - eg: a motivational poster about a cat rising but won't shine. Mind you, I am feline-biased.Anyhow, there is nothing you can do, anything you can say that will MAKE you a different way without feeling unnatural about it. Would you rather 1) be yourself and let experiences fill you in as you mature or 2) be something else and possibly feel imprisoned by needing the acceptance of others?You don't prove your maturity by doing or saying something suddenly. You 'prove' it by living life and learning to live with life and all those around you, in your own natural way.
