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.

[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.
