There are always exceptions, not all teenagers are know-it-alls. My 14 yr old nephew is a very cool kid and doesn't act as immature as most his age. He now has a 5mo old lil brother and helps out alot, makes me very proud.

Look, this post is simply filled with too much irony. When you first poked your head onto this message board, it was readily apparent just how immature you really where. When you mentioned how old you were, my thought was "figures, just another little douche kid" and now you're making that argument that people shouldn't look down on you because of your age.

You know what? You're right, age doesn't neccessarily equal maturity or even competance, however, it doesn't do too bad of a job. If you're a 15 year old kid that posts on this forum with helpful suggestions, constructive criticism, thoughtful insights and behaves all around as a pretty good member: Congratulations, you show insight and maturity beyond your age. You, Killa, do not display these properties and that is why you are branded as an imature little kid: you fit the stereotype.

Now this isn't a brand you can never grow out of, and you haven't been as bad lately as a few people have pointed out., but you still have room for improvement. If this post marks a sort of a turning point, then congratulations, we're proud and glad to hear it. Good luck.

Hopefully those above few posts will be deleted as I can't think how they're on topic.

Anyway yeh I understand what your all saying I know when I first cropped up I was pretty much a cunt but now I just realise theres no point being a cunt if your being a cunt on the net, its just sad. So i guess it's a kind of realisation more than a turn around, but I liking the serious disscusion gives us a chance to properly debate shit without people spamming the fuck out of it.

The older you get, the more everything makes sense. It's all one big jigsaw puzzle, made of one flat texture with no defining marks and you have to make sense of it. Maybe you slot a few pieces in here, they look like they fit, but maybe you've forced them, or maybe it's just coincedence; the fact of the matter is we'll probably never finish the jigsaw puzzle.


The way I see it, is games and forums are very much alike, you get the people who want to help others and work together and chat a little. then you have the spawn camper, the Tker, the mic spammer.
But at the end of the day we're all human beings sat behind a computer screen somewhere, if only we could remember that the internet is not filled with matrix-like bots that are there for your own entertainment.

However, the irony of this thread is a little overwhelming.

Had to clear this thread up already, remember that if your post is of no use to the discussion or is to spite someone then it has no place in this part of the forum.

Let's not get childish in a thread about maturity please.

Carry on...

I believe "Quoted For Enfesis" is that QFE means.

Even though I am younger than you killa, I still thought that you were a immature person when I saw you. But, if posts that are thought out like this keep coming, I might change my opinion of you.

I've read a bit in this thread, and It's really made me think of my view on this exact same topic. Im 15, and sometimes it gets a little unfair at times. People will judge others by looks, and age even if they don't know if there doing it. They'll assume your immature. and they'll asume that untill you actaully do somthing about it.

But really, somthing I've always lived by:

Be Immature all you want, But know when to be Mature.
Theres a Time and a Place for the both of them.
