writes: Hey again, I'm 15, and I am immature for my age. I hate myself for it. It fills me to the brim with regret and hate. It is making me a loner, I can't help it. I try to act my age but it seems impossible. Is there anything I can do to 'sort' this?

15 is a confusing time and being a teenager in general is a time when you are developing, learning, growing and finding out who you are. I think you need to be more patient you are going to change a lot over the next few years. You don't need to be at a certain place by a certain time. Let go of the hate and regret. It's likely that more than your immaturity that is keeping people at bay. Let it go and let people in. Give yourself a chance. Try to look at the things you expect of yourself, because it sounds to me like you are holding your expectations too high and beating yourself up for not achieving them. We humans tend to be our own worst critics. Be your own best friend first, and other people will follow your lead.

15 is immature. And nothing against males but they do tend to mature later, most anyway from what I know. There is nothing to worry about or hate yourself over. Well what do you consider to be immature? Things you say are immature? What you need to start doing is thinking before you say and act. But really you should be yourself and if people don't like it then oh well. You will mature and grow up eventually but you cannot force it.
