Kids TRYing to be MATURE, heh.. Options

[chopstix-ninja]

Ever see middle school punks cussing and using curse words? See them trying to have a bf/gf? Hmmm, it's funny. Roaming around these forums, i see kids at the age of 12?? cussing and cursing like no tomorrow. 12 year olds have gf/bf and are asking for relationship tips. Sorry folks, but this gets to me. When i think of a 12 year old, i think about an innocent middle schooler with the sweetest smile, but seeing what i have been lately, changes my perspective. Just a Thought, i may be wrong and biased.

[toodlepops.]

Yes, okay. What's your point, actually?
Please educate me. =]

[WhiteLotus*]

^^ I think the homosapien means how...supposedly "grown up" they've become/

And it's not mature; it's stupid.

I hate those 12 year olds who go around cursing. They call me nigga and stuff EVEN though I am white.

And then they all go off saying," OH MY f**king GOD! I LOVE YOU, BILLY BOB!"

and then they break up.


Sad, isn't it?

[love vs absence]

i think its stupid how they "think"
that they are inlove with the person that they are going out with
and like a day later they break up.

[chopstix-ninja]

I don't want to start a flame battle but..
I just want to let you kids know that you're still young,
live life as a kid. It only comes once. Once you're in highschool, Academics become harder, Drama will be crazier and WAY WORSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN.. drugs, sex, violence.. in general.. you'll miss being a middle schooler. Everyone is so happy and careless. Don't try growing up so FAST!! Take my advice. Getting a job.. working.. school.. SATs.. college acceptance.. it isn't fun. I'm just pointing out that, people should calm down and try looking at their life in a different perspective. Are you really old enough to have a bf or gf and understand love? I know i surely am not.. It's late.. my brain my be wack.. but. I'm pretty sure I gave a strong analysis.

[xquizit]

cussing /= maturity. in fact, i see it as a indication of immaturity, that is, if it is used excessively and for no reason. rushing into relationship is also another sign of immaturity. i think you misused "mature". it would have been better if you said "kids trying to grow up too quickly".

[chopstix-ninja]

Exellent thought. People try saying curse words to act all "BAD A**". However, they are making themselves look like a "JACK A**".

Yeah, i think the title i chosen was a little to harsh. I wasn't thinking deep enough.

[*mzkandi*]

Ok, first of all arent you suppose to be 13 and up to post on this forum....it is a law i believe...anyways yeah kids try to act grown make me sick...and there an abundant of this kids that try to come across this way on cb....meh...i wish i was still a kid...those were the most carefree days

[iliang86]

i appreciate when kids try to act mature, but i agree, most kids think maturity revolves around relationships and foul language

[*stephinika*]

^^
no kidding. especially around here...its kind of ridiculous. some are mature, i know, not all are stupid...but some get really annoying.

[starlette]

I wont lie tho, I cussed in jr hi, but very rarely because I thot my friends would think bad of me...not cuz I thought it was cool. But yeah I've always had a bad mouth, cuz my mommy has a bad mouth haha. But it is frustrating cuz the same kids who think they are all grown up and can have boyfriends are the same ones who come on here asking about hair on their "goods" and talking about how gross sex is. they dont know where they want to be. Its really frustrating. But I guess thats youth for you. Its bad tho because parents really arent helping much. I mean have you guys been to a limited too? The skirts are like microscopic, and mothers actually let their 12 year olds walk around in public like that. I think it should be required that every parent watch the movie thirteen. It will scare the crap out of most of them and maybe they will rethink how they raise their kids.

[f00LisH_h3aRt63]

you do have a good point. i've always had this impression that kids now-a-days are trying to grow up faster.
younger girls are dressing waaaay to old for their age and really it disturbs me. and yeah, like you mentioned the cursing is a problem. i admit i cursed sporadically and when i did it made me feel like im soo much older.
it's just really sad to see the younger kids now-a-days trying to act older than their actual age. yuck.

jackie

[dani41790]

Yeah I see that a lot. I see lots of middle schoolers cussing a lot, having bfs/gfs and saying they love them and breaking up with them the next day, and dressing up in clothes they shouldn't be wearing till they're atleast highschool. Ahh gosh it's so annoying how they try to act all mature and grown up

[kana-p]

I'm completely annoyed by the fact that some kids theses days are trying to act more mature(what they think is mature) than they should be and that just makes them even more immature in my mind.

The worst situation I ever saw was when I was at the bowling ally with my family and right in the next lane, a group of theses kids were being extremely obnoxious, putting up distasteful repulsive words as there names on the screen as well as saying them. My mother complained and even asked one of the girls name. She appeared stoned/drunk and replied with "I dunno, ask her." They only seemed like they were 11 or 12, small with a pound of makeup on their faces.

No parents were around of course; it may not be so much the kid's fault but also the parent's for allowing such obscenity. Parents should keep more track of their youngsters. I'm really surprised at how it is now days, all though I'm nearly 17, back when I was that age I thought "crap" was a swear word and refused to say such things lol.

[vampireduster]

i saw these 10 year old boys talking about getting a playboy. Its funny how little kids are

Sad, isn't it?

Today , the word " nigga " doesnt refer to a black person , it means " friend ".

And well , remember when you kids were 12 , about 6th grade. You never had a crush on a guy/girl before? or you never cursed?. Just because your older now doesnt change a thing.

[xMayleex]

Kids in my school have already started doing that since they were 11, i seen this girl who is in her first year, so she is 11 [schools are different in the uk] anyway she was up the field going with some boy, i was like they havent even gone through puberty yet and they are doing stuff like that. Most the girls and boys in my year started acting grown up and hard when they were 12 or 13, people act differently when they move to a new school.

[*mzkandi*]

Today , the word " nigga " doesnt refer to a black person , it means " friend ".

Yeah if ya black, if I hear some one of another race say "what up nigga" I look at them funny because i'm black. I have yet to hear someone of another race come into a room full of black people and say "whats up my niggas" and it wont because its not socially acceptable and I am sure that certain someone doesnt want to risk a beat down either

[EmmalieV]

Well , you would be surprised on how many different races say this. I hear ALOT of hispanics refering to "nigga" as "friend". Now I havent yet heard a white`person say that ( well , in movies )

but then again , "nigga" isnt meant to be offensive , at all.

[bebebasa89]

haha i used to do that..how i miss those days

[*mzkandi*]

I understand where you're coming from and I hear alot of other races use nigga in terms as friend and they are not being racist at all. I even see it here on cb. And ya know thats cool. But my thing is they wont say to the people that count. Which is black people. Because it wont fly, at least with most. I have very good friends who are of a different races but they know not to cross that line.

[AngelTears]

Then you have to realize that pressure is moving back into Middle School..

Its not just in High school..

Yeah, you'd think it'd be easy for a 12 year old to be careless and fun.. but its not.

School is still hard, and even kids in Middle School are pressured with drugs, sex, and violence..

I know a guy who lost his virginity when he was 10 (which is ridiculous)

And, no one whose 12 likes being 12.. at least the people I know who are don’t, I know I sure as heck didn’t.

I'm only 13, but I do know you feel retarded when everyone around you has a boyfriend/girlfriend and your the only one whose single and always has been..

12 year olds go threw the same thing 16 year olds go through..

Maybe not exactly, that’s about the age when you have to worry about collage, your future, stuff like that.

But, just on the 12 year olds side.. its really hard to act like a kid when everyone expects you, treats you and is grown up around you.

Though I do agree whole heartedly on the whole being ‘in love’ thing.. A 12 year old cant be in love.

[IamRad]

I think ur right/ i think im way too young for a relationship. and people i kno have already have several. i mean... doing all that sexual stuff at the age of 12-15 is so not right

[funbobby]

Personally I think its down right patronising for 16 years olds etc. to say that 12 year olds are kids and tehy shouldn't be having sex, smoking, and so on. I remember being 12 and I was just about as mature as I am now. I agree with AngelTears, noone enjoys being 12, waiting to be alowed to do anything. I had my first cigarette, kiss and cuddle at 11, my first drunken experience at 12, and etc. etc.
'Kids' are about as mature as us, and if anyone thinks that they are better than them just because they are a few years older, then that's called just being a prick.

[WinterNights2]

Who the f**k cares? Let them live as they live, they curse everyone curses. Before you try to correct the youth correct yourselves.

[mouse_3k]

highschool is harsher than reality, lmao

^Please don't just write 2 word responses.

I agree with Arimalka. It is really annoying when people judge you by your age.

[D1SMANTLED]

The world has changed.... Our world use to actaully have morals! Now that the media says it's okay to start dating at such a young age, cuss, etc, kids just follow in other people's, especially the rich and famous' footsteps.

[banthisaccountno...]

It's just something you'll have to get used to. Society has made it this way...

[shortiiex]

i'm almost 14 and poeple in my school are just sluts and horny

[kana-p]

I hate this. I really do. I hate being stereotyped because of my age, and I'm sure a lot of other people do, too. The fact is that you, who is supposedly "older and wiser", was once twelve and thirteen. You should know how it feels, especially in today's world. It's an age where kids feel pressured to "grow up" as fast as possible, though they don't really understand what that entails. Acting "mature" isn't about having a "boyfriend/girlfriend" or cursing at least twice in every sentence. It's about making the right choices in life and molding your true character. Most "tweens" haven't yet realized this, though, but they'll pull through well enough. And it's the guidance of older teens and parents that will help them get through this awkward time, not stereotypical criticism.

Arimalka

I agree, I also hate to be stereotyped because of my age and I hate to see that happen.
I only pointed out the situations I saw with young kids acting wacky through the growing up stages and yeah it’s annoying but I suppose it’s just part of life and growing up, mistakes do help us learn after all. I just think it’s harder on kids theses days, I’m not exactly sure of the cause, though I believe parents have something to do with it. I’m seeing too many parents, not caring and not guiding their child through their youth's hard ache and moreover not watching (keeping track of) them like they should be. But what can you do? ><;

[Ington]

Thank you. I'm 14, but honestly I think I act 18. People actually thought I was 18 for a while, untill I told them my age. I have a tendancy of making friends with people older than me, so I wouldn't have many friends if people judged me by age.

Also, Rache is 4 years older than me, but I'm still running away with her. Mmyep.

[goofipinay]

um..well i think that...
have you SEEN middle skool bull right now?
we go through the whole sex, drugs, and stuff too you know
i mean im 13, i kno friends who've been raped (her dad) and i kno some of my friends hav a drinking/smoking problem...
sure, we dont have to worry about college and all, but our parents (well mine) pressure us to do well in skool! middle schools are even teaching high school courses (in my area anyways..) which puts more pressure on middle schoolers about college and grad.....and we've had sex ed since 4th/5th grade, wut do you expect?

[Paradox of Life]

This is an interesting topic. It seems more like a complaining topic than a topic that people would actually respond to, but appearantly people have so I might as well too. I'm 12 years old, but sometimes I forget I am because people are so different in my grade. A lot of people tell me I act weird (and they think I got held back) because I care about my schoolwork, getting an education, doing something productive instead of chasing after boys. Okay, sometimes I cuss, but it's not because I'm trying to be cool. Sometimes you can't help it when the rest of the world does it! And I hang out with more people in 8th grade and above than people in 6th grade. It's easy to get influenced.
About people dating at 12 and under... Ugh, mostly I think it's a stupid concept. Most 12-year olds (not meaning to stereotype) don't know crap about love. It's not because they're 12, simply. It's because they aren't experienced and just like the idea of having a boyfriend to "fit in". The sad thing is, they can't stay together for more than a week because they're not wise enough to judge by what's inside and not outside.

I think they're just influenced by older people (that they see on TV, see at school) and want to be like them by having boyfriends and cussing and whatever. People by nature want to feel like they fit in.

[miszSERENiTY]

Your sounding kind of immature and close-minded right now. You`re not special just because you`re older. I mean, its always fun to make fun of them and all but you`re being kind of rude.

[jennyjenny]

I don't think you should judge EVERY little kid. I mean, what about those child prodigies (sp?) I get what you're trying to say. I look at these 6th grader profiles and it's all "I LOVE YOU!!!" To me, I don't think love is when you just go out with someone, it's when you feel it. And yes, a lot of those little kids go around screaming "f**k YOU!!" and use f**k in at least one of their sentences. I don't like it. But I guess you can't really blame them, sometimes it's just how they're raised. And I also see these 6th grade girls at a school dance and they have black leather skirts and high leather boots. And it was in the middle of January! ugh. but like i said, not everyone is like that.

[sharerol]

Yes, I think it's quite ridiculous myself. There's this 11 or 12 year old in my school who tries to "be cool" by cussing and trying to say all these "smart" things. However, the things he does and say are downright rude. He told my friend today, "You had to screw your dad 'cuz you're too poor". Wtf? That makes no sense and is completely rude. Okay, I'm done ranting.

[innovation]

well, they see it on TV and in magazines and in their favorite radio songs. there aren't many role-model celebrities out there. kids think that they'll be "respected" if they act this way, and often, it's true. with all the bullying in elementary and middle schools, kids wants to toughen up and make sure that they aren't the ones getting pushed around. they see their friends acting this way, too, and they want to fit in, naturally.

[clarissa]

i know what you mean. a lot of the middle school kids go up to our high school and try to talk to us.. kinda funny, actually.

[HongKongDong]

Who the f**k cares? Let them live as they live, they curse everyone curses. Before you try to correct the youth correct yourselves.

^^Exacte mundo

[hiromi]

My Gosh, this is probably the biggest problem in my middle school. I mean, there are little 7th graders on my bus whome have had blowjobs already, and it's just... I mean... at such a young age! Also, I see 6th graders trying to pick fights with 8th graders once in a while. Though the thought is funny (Imagining a 4'0" kid trying to beat up a 5'10" person is somewhat funny for me), it's kinda stupid. In 6th grade, there was this one girl who already had relations with 10th graders... so yeah...

[parallel]

And it's not mature; it's stupid.

I hate those 12 year olds who go around cursing. They call me nigga and stuff EVEN though I am white.

And then they all go off saying," OH MY f**king GOD! I LOVE YOU, BILLY BOB!"

and then they break up.


Sad, isn't it?

Yupp.

When I see 6th graders walking around and cussing I tell them "Hey. You shouldn't be talking like that young man/lady! Your too young for that!" They just stare at me. But it does bug me.

[hiromi]

they are probably bluffing. what a small penis that must have been.

Yeah, I think they're bluffing as well, but it's kinda believable when you're surrounded by kids groping each other on the bus....

[*x____duckii*]

I'm 13 myself, and it really bugs me when people try to act all grown up. T_T I even have my friend that has given this kid a hand job! And as for the cussing, whenever I do it, I don't do it to seem more mature or anything. Somehow, it has gotten stuck to me and whenever I curse now, I don't even notice it. It just irks me whenever I see someone around my age saying 'I love Bob!'.

[XaZnX07]

i think its stupid how they "think"
that they are inlove with the person that they are going out with
and like a day later they break up.

haha totally my cousin is 12 shes like always complaining to me bout her love life shes like oh i am going out with this dude i just met on line for a day they're so stupid i dont think they're mature enough for a relationship at all, haha

.:Tony:.

[SKDMNLE]

Yep...I see people my age saying that they did an 8th grader or something. And during lunch you hear them cussing and whatnot. God, theres this girl, shes in 6th grade and you can find her kissing an 8th grader behind the portables. Psht. At my school everythings about boyfriends and girl friends now. And yeah they teach sex ed in 4th grade now, but maybe thats a good thing because some people out there are getting banged at a real young age o_O

[MiLKDUD_DOKiE]

if you think that's scary you should see kids around 6-10 observe the way they dress: gangster style, and cussing and cursing is already in their vocabulary. also they learn to play handball/basketball now.

[*x____duckii*]

also they learn to play handball/basketball now.

How is that a bad thing?

[charanjust4yu]

I am a 13 yr old...but i was like 12 couple a days ago and i think it all depends on the kid's personality....i dont know what you people think of me....yeh i post topics bout a guy i like...but its not like im thinking about a future with him...ahah i know most kids do and it makes me laugh ....but yes there are kids my age that are mature ... maybe the reason that im like this because ive been through a lot of stuff throughout my life that is just messed up....bu tive been strong and maybe that made me mature but i dont know...im not even sure if im msture..but its not like im like this all the time...i have my crazy side when if i get bored i will randomly go crazy like the other day i was sitting next to my sisters and we were coming back from the mall and it was all quiet and i was very bored so i randomly started roaring and i bit my sister's shirt on the shoulder part and then it wasnt so boring.....hold on how does this realte to this topic...o k i ll stop now

usually, it's not just a question of maturity, but also who the person thinks he or she is. or maybe that's the same thing, but some people just try too hard to be a personality.

omg.. i know what you mean about the bf/gf thing. there's this one girl who asked my brother out the first week of middle school. then i read one of those survey things she put on her xanga and there was there was the question "first bf/gf?" and i saw my brother's name right there.

the 7th graders think TYpIn` lyKE thIS is SOoo coOl `N gaNSteR. they bold, italicize, and/or underline almost every other word.

and it's not only middle schoolers. most little girls in commercials act like a bunch stuck up b*tches, wearing the latest fads. barbie has become EXTRA slutty.

but the dating, I gotcha on.
i've never asked anyone out before, they always ask ME out,
and i always say "yeah, sure, whatever" so that's how i have a bf.
not like I want one. but.. it's also called "hormones" :P

[king_of_hearts]

*sigh* I hate dumb adolescents...Everytime I see a kid like that I just sigh and be and say to myself..."And this is our future? We are so dead! I might as well pack my stuff and get ready for Armageddon." It's sad that kids in general can't find anything constructive to do or fit in, so they have to be like grown ups to be cool and stuff. How sad. For all you adolescents out there reading this...DON'T GROW UP TOO FAST!!!BE A KID FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!! Besides, being too grown before you're grown can lead to trouble. How about that place for today:

Yes, it's true that i'm 16. It's only a few years difference. However, i can't imagine 10 year old having sex, doing drugs, in shoot-outs. It's just getting too crazy! We must teach our children how to have a childhood. Do you want to remember your childhood as being a pimp star player doing girls 24/7 and shooting up other 10 year olds? Why does society corrupt our children like this? I don't know.. It's not the fault of the child, but the fault of society influencing people all over the country.

Why does society corrupt our children like this?  I don't know..  It's not the fault of the child, but the fault of society influencing people all over the country.

dude...you're still a child.

[*x____duckii*]

dude...you're still a child. 

You're no longer considered a child when you're atleast 13.

[tooeffingcrazy]

I find it really pathetic when i see "couples" at our school. They are trying to be cool and asking every girl possible in their grade to be thier girlfriends. What I think is most hilarious is when they turn into "waples". Wannabe Couples. Like when they go out, and they are freaking scared of seeing each other. Then I see their friends pushing them towards each other to hug. And their hug turns out like this

Kind of like that. It's hilarious. Especially when they try to cuss also. Haha.

Hahahahaha Okay, that made me laugh. It kind of reminds me of my friend and her ex. I would have to tell them to give each other a freakin hug! I personally think I've been closer to her than he has ever been to her (don't take it the wrong way)

Beautiful visual interpretation! *claps* XD

[inlonelinessidie]

I agree. I don't understand why kids wanna grow up so fast. I'm sure as they get older and keep this up, they'll regret it. It's sad.

[lovescream]

^they're not, they just think it's "in" to have a bf/gf.. and they think it's real friggin love, too.

[Ihate]

^ that's whatcha get for young relationships.
This girl.. went out with this one guy for like 1 minute. She asked him out, he said yes, a minute passed and he dumped her.

I remember when I did something like that, lol.

[xTINAA]

Oh my shocking. Don't even GET me started. I hate this. I absolutely hate it. What the heck is happening to the younger generations?! I can't believe how corrupted they are becoming. And why in the world would you want to grow up faster? Being an adult is really tough. Just being in highschool / college is tough. They're really going to regret it. And I hate when they actually convince themselves that they ARE mature, when clearly they aren't. It aggravates the crap out of me when a 13 year old thinks they know more than me (namely, my sister). And I despise the fact that they date. I think middle school is too young to date. I mean shit, some people can't even handle it in HIGHSCHOOL. I just think the whole matter is rather annoying and pathetic.

Though I must agree on the point that this crap is going further than 12 year olds.. they're going back to 8 and 9 year olds now.

We want to grow up faster because there are things in life we want to do! Its mainly the more mature ones who want to be older for the better reasons..

I want to be older because most of my friends are 16, 17.. and when they go out and do stuff they can just go along on there marry way but I have to give my parents a play by play on everything I do.

Plus, being 13 sucks, your not a kid, but no one considers you older, they still treat you like a child but in reality your not. Your a teenager, its a fact, but your still so close to being a child parents/adults still havn't let you go even a little bit.

I dont think I could ever regret how I am now, I know I'm a mature 13 year old, because most people think I'm 16.. at the least..

But thats who I am I am mature, and I cant change myself to act like a normal 13 year old should just because its 'the right way' and I should, 'hang onto my childhood.' My childhood is over, I had it back when I was a little kid.

And I know other people my age and around my age feel the same way about that.

Everyone is diffrent..

You shouldn't judge a '13 year old' on there age and how they can handle dating.. I know a guy who can handle dating better than some of my 16 year old friends..

He has a natural gift for the art of dating (as me and my friend call it lol) its quite funny how he always knows what to say and what to do and how to treat girls, and he only dates people he likes, never just someone random so he can say he has a girlfriend.

I dont care when people date, its when they say they're 'In Love' or they just go out with someone for the status..

But I think if they really like eachother, there age shouldn't matter.

[swe3ttemptasian]

I'm still in jr. high, in 8th grade. But I see what you're saying. There are kids my age always cussing and thinking they the "shit". It bugs me. These 7th graders on my bus always think that arguing about the smallest stuff and cussing and putting insults to another makes them look tough. It just irritates me. I'm still young and sometimes I can me immature, but i don't try to grow up.. I already know the stress.. and oh, how I can't wait till high school..

That's exactly my problem with me being 14. The people my age are so immature. Yes, they date, but it never lasts. I've given up on love for the time being. It's a waste of my time. Why? Well, people my age are too young for me, as awkward as that sounds.

Also, I make such better friends with older people than with people my age.

[*paul murphy*]

*coughs* sounds exactly like me. Bite us.

i hate 16 year olds

which is why i've fallen into the situation where im bored with all my friends except for a couple, and frankly could care less if i ever see them again..roll on college!

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

It is annoying. When I started middle school I was like oober scared. Everyone went around cussing the hell out of each other...and you should see them in the hallway too But when it comes to real maturity and responsability they don't give.
One girl, who's "dating" the guy I like boasted to other kids about giving head to a guy(not the one she's "dating") And then she said she wants to dump this guy. Because he's not putting any moves on her ...... I hate her....

*nod* Yeah, same here.. they're just so immature, and they think totally diffrently than I do.

Its just easier for me to get along with people older than me..

[DrSMooTH]

hehehehe. I can comment cuz I used to be a middle schooler. But, seriously, I know what you mean. When I graduated last year, I saw some 6th (now 7th) graders saying things like, "Shit, nigga. that's off the f**king chain, dog!!" or some stupid stuff. Now, the stereotype for black people is that they talk like that, but I'm black and I don't and I think its really repulsive speech. Neways, yeah, its kinda sickening to look at these little 11 and 12 year olds cursing and thinking they're all that, and then have the nerve to get in any upperclassmen's (middle school or high school. Yes, some are THAT bold). But, at the same time, its extremely funny cuz they're messing with people that could totally kick their asses. The only reason they act like this is because people who act like that have set examples and influences on these little kids and they think its "cool" to talk and act like they have no home training. I'm about to turn 15 and I feel sorry for the parents who have kids that act like this. Its an example from the media that says "ghetto is cool", when most of these little rugrats in urban and suburban areas don't even know what the ghetto is like or that its not really something anyone would want to imitate.

Huh, looking at what I said makes me think about how many times on a daily basis that I'm called white because I want to excel and don't have a hoodlum's vocabulary. The new smart is being a retard, which is REALLY sad.

[WhiteLotus*]

Today , the word " nigga " doesnt refer to a black person , it means " friend ".

And well , remember when you kids were 12 , about 6th grade. You never had a crush on a guy/girl before? or you never cursed?. Just because your older now doesnt change a thing.

Well here it means black person. It's an offense here.

And yes I did have crushes on people in 6th grade, but I never proclaim that I loved them.

Well, I don't hate some 16 year olds. And yes, are our is VERY immature. To save my fingers, I sincerely agree with everything else.

[*FreeStickers*]

Ever see middle school punks cussing and using curse words?  See them trying to have a bf/gf?  Hmmm, it's funny.  Roaming around these forums, i see kids at the age of 12?? cussing and cursing like no tomorrow.  12 year olds have gf/bf and are asking for relationship tips.  Sorry folks, but this gets to me.  When i think of a 12 year old, i think about an innocent middle schooler with the sweetest smile, but seeing what i have been lately, changes my perspective.  Just a Thought, i may be wrong and biased.

Yeah, I know. Really, though, everyone thought they were hardcore when they were in middle school.

I really do HATE seeing kids being like "I LOVE <insert name here>!" What do 12 year olds know about love?

[jyim]

i agree

[Ington]

No two word posts, please. Thats considered spamming.

[DanielleMaria05]

yeah, I agree with everyone else. They may try to act mature, but it takes a lot more that being in a "relationship" and cussing

[Soleil]

I know what you mean! My sister is 11 and she has a bf!!! Im like what the hell!!

[123321x]

i think its hilarious when someone curses then later in the day they say "OMG don't tell anyone i said that!!!!"

[BlissfulIgnoranc...]

i get annoyed with it too.. especially the kids in middle school that say their b/f or g/f is the love of their life. but how we view them as trying to grow up too fast is the same way adults view kids in highschool as growing up too fast.. its weird huh..

[WinterNights2]

So... if i say f**k, i get in trouble? Omg i never new that omg omg omg. Dis is so totally awesome. Us n1gg3rz are 0wnzingz you n00blets? I mean i was 8 when i had my first GF and i lost my virginity at age 5 0mg.
