What do you think are the ups and downs of being mature?

well am mature ( got mature at a early age). it not all it crack up to be. I mean of course adults will respect you more and things. but when your mature at a early age like me ( am 15). you get annoy easy.I can’t stand the people at my high school. they so childish.but yet when your mature you can understand thing more clearly.you can help peoples more. when you become mature you get responsibility. . even tho you get annoy by childish things and stress more. being mature is a great thing to be. you can focus more in school and a lot more

Well, the down side to getting more mature is that you end up despising your lack of maturity. Like when people get to college and get annoyed by high school kids. It’s a part of life, but it sort of sucks. Also, maturity typically equates to a larger responsibility. You might place it on yourself, or other people might (like your parents). In any event, the stress gets heavier, but your ability to deal with said stress also expands. At the end of the day, I think it’s all well worth it.
