I understand that he wants to feel more grown-up, but there are just some things that he will not be able to do, until he reaches a certain age, and I don't want him to feel pressured to act a certain way. I don't mind if he has some interests that are similar to mine, but I believe that he shouldn't try to grow up too fast. Reply to this Question

 I think he looks up to you, he admires how you handle life and wants to be just like you. My younger cousin used to be the very same, he would copy everything I did and try to act just like me. You are his role model. Just be careful what you do around him, as his growing up will be affected by the way he acts now. He is developing himself and basing his ways on somebody he really admires.
Take it as a compliment, try not to have a go at him. I know how annoying it can be. You can be like his mentor.

 i dont know how hes 'trying to be like you' but if he's young then he will probably grow out of it, i'm sure its only a phase. x x
