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.

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. |

Thank you! ^^ ![]() QUOTE(Arimalka) 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 Sing it sistah! |
