I Believe Age Doesnt Define Maturity

This Way Or That?

Funny... when I initially clicked on this group, I was thinking only about the meaning in one direction. But really, it does go both ways. There are young people out there who seem mature beyond their years, as well as older folks who are so very immature. It's one of the things that makes a place like EP nice. You can associate with people based upon how well they relate to you, regardless of their age, and there isn't the same stigma that there might be out in the real world. It's refreshing.

    I agree completely. I like that my circle includes a variety of age groups, but I don't really think about that when conversing. It's great to just interact with people you like regardless of age. I don't really think age is all that relevant when it comes to friends.

    It does not I know from 11 years old we were way ahead of others in our class by many tests.

    We knew what had to be done, and we did it. We did it with each other as a couple many times we did it for each other.
    no one had to tell us or fight with us to do our chores at the house.

    This was back in the day where you had to iron the clothing you wore to school and one of us did it the night before for both of us.

    We were just different kids or child adults or many other word's people used for us. Did we miss out on other things kids did?
    I really do not thing so I think we did way more than most kids ever dreamed of as children and young teens.

    Yes other kids called us names behind our back but not to our face but we had the respect of many adults in our town that we dealt with every day at work, and that was really more important to us.

    At 12 years old, we could walk into any store and write out a check, and we did not have to wait to take it home for the check to clear.
