Ages are mistaken for others

Why do kids always think they are older than they are?

Like when your 13 you think you a teen, then when you 16 you look back and realize you werent a teen at 13..then when your 17 yo think your an adult and so on..

I dont get why kids cant just be happy with their age and just realize that 16 isnt an adult, 20 isnt always living in “the real world”, and 40 isnt old…

People think they are old and mature, when they arent. Why?

Answer #1

Don’t ask me, I’m not like that. Lol.

Well, but age is different then maturity. You can be 13, and be more mature then a 16yo, for exemple.

Sometimes, when you say you’re mature and independent at a young age, you really are :]

Plus, something that is mature for me, may not be mature for you.

Answer #2

uumm! 13 is a teenager, hate to break it to you honey! therefore, thirTEEN!!! They just do, most of the time they don’t mean to though!

Answer #3

Hey!

Well, babygirl220 is right. You are a teenager when you’re 13 and when you get older you see 13 year olds as little kids, like 30 year olds see 16 year olds as little kids, when 16 year olds think that they’re not little kids. And to us 16 year olds, 40 is old and 30 is old. Because we see most people at 30 and 40 who start to get married have kids and get grey hair. And people who think that they’re mature mostly are. When I was 13 people always thought I was 16, I’m not joking, I wasn’t acting like a little girl and I had a body of a 16 year old and now I’m still mature and people think I’m 20 sometimes 25… But I’m happy with my age I don’t think I’m old, but I can say I’m mature.

Answer #4

Well, you are 13 when you are a teen and 16 is also a teenager age, and most 16 years olds I agree do act like adults. I’m 15 and I’d say I was quite mature though and I look about 18 and I prbobably act about that too. Most 17 years olds also act like adults because they are over the legal age if they are in America. Also people sometimes feel old when they turn 30 or 40. Also younger people view them ages as old and it is just the way that the world is really.

Answer #5

yeah, I agree with every1 here, I’m 15 this summer and I’m as stupid as a 16 year old guy, and as smart as a 5 year old LOL
