Why do I feel more mature then my classmates?

I'm in the tenth grade and sometimes I feel so much more mature then my classmates! They are horrible to the teachers being pests by yelling out and talking constantly. They are also rude to the other people in the class. Its silly its like your shunned if you don't do drugs, aren't popular, don't dress a certain way, or are curtious to the teachers. I mean I goof off sometimes too but I do it after school or during lunch. I don't do drugs, smoke or drink. I don't need them to have fun. My friends and I are considered weird because we joke around alot, are good kids and respectful. Why do I feel light years more mature then my classmates sometimes?

Why do I feel more mature then my classmates?
Uhhh...because you are (at least according to your description.)





You have learned two of life's great answers...do not take yourself to seriously and dont concern yoursel with what others think of you or your actions as long as you are not infringing upon someone else.
Reply:It seems as if they years go on the youth get more imature. Dont worry, when they are all wearing bright orange jump suits to your 10 yrs reunion you will be happy that you "weird" in H.S.
Reply:IT SOUNDS TO ME YOU ARE MORE MATURE. KEEP IT UP IT DOESNT HURT. DONT ACT LIKE YOUR 10 WHEN YOUR NOT. YA KNOW THAT SORT OF THING. I WAS THE SAME WAY IN SCHOOL NOT A GOODY GOODY GIRL BUT I DIDNT DISRUPT THE CLASS. I AM 19 AND I DIDNT DO DRUGS, DRINK, SMOKE, PARTY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND I WENT TO A SCHOOL WHERE LIKE EVERYONE WAS DOING AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. BUT IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS DONT WORRY ABOUT IT. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU FIT IN YOU DONT NEED TO BECAUSE ONCE YOU GRADUATE IT ALL DOESNT MATTER. FOCUS ON SCHOOL CUZ YOU ONLY HAVE 2 YEARS LEFT THEN YOU DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE RETARDS THAT DO THAT STUFF.
Reply:Welcome to the world of maturity!!





This is where high school sucks. When I was in HS I was like you--I was clear of all drugs and alcohol, respected myself, paid attention in school, respected myself, etc.





Right now you're at the maturity level of a 25 year old. Your classmates haven't gotten to the point of 13.





It's going to stink, trust me. It's nice to have people who are immature, but it gets boring.





Just wait until college--you'll find people who match your maturity and then some. Just wait until you can have an intelligent discussion on the balance of religion in the United States or discuss a book and have people actually care!





It will get better, I promise!
Reply:*courteous, seeing as so you are trying to represent intelligence.





Well just look forward to your very bright future.
Reply:You probably are more mature. I know I was. I didn't drink or do drugs either. This will be an advantage to you in the long run.
Reply:I felt this way in some of my classes. I find it if you take honors or DC/AP classes the learning environment is much better.
Reply:when all those other people are in jail or working for you, you will have the last laugh :)
Reply:Because mentally you are more mature. You don't need to impress your peers by pretending to be some one you are not. If you continue to be yourself, you will go far.
Reply:tell them there retards and ur gona have a good future they wont
Reply:It is probably because you are more mature than them. We all mature at different rates and most likely due to the way you were raised and the way you perceive things you have just grown up quicker. Just let them know it bothers you if it does otherwise just let it roll off your back.
Reply:You feel more mature because you make all the right decisions and you feel good about it.
Reply:Amen, Thomas J...


Don't let yourself be bothered by those idiots. The older you get, the less these trivialities matter. Go to college, or join the Armed Forces. Nobody cares how poor or rich you are, or what you wear.
Reply:Because you have a unique way of spelling "then" instead of "than".





Nah, but really, there are more than a few folks like that. Don't stress it: the fact that you're not doing drugs will pay off soon. Yeah, you're not taking the easy way out and having fun by drinking 80proof every weekend, but you probably have other things to do to keep you occupied.





In short, don't sweat it, let things flow.
Reply:I'm also in the tenth grade. My friends and I more mature than most of the kids at my school and we also respect the teachers at my school and other adults, we don't do drugs, drink, smoke, or act out in class, we still have fun but know when to stop goofing off and be serious. Our other classmates don't shun us because we don't act a certain way, they come to us for advice or help on homework, but I go to a smaller school so we're all very close and can trust one another.
Reply:There is only one reason you real this way and it is because you are just way more polite. Lots of kids are gooing through the same thing you are, maybe not in your grade or even your high school, but there kids and teens who feel the same way. Just make sure you don't go off hanging out with older kids b ecause they can get you caught into so much its not even funny.
Reply:i'm in the 10th too and it dise seem like that because you are and so am i thar GOOD queation
Reply:Because you are more mature. Probably had better role models at home too.
Reply:I feel the same way!!!!! I just tell myself I will be rich and they will be my workers, or hobos


That always makes me feel better, its like when we have a sub, Im the only one who does their work

Reply:ummm, because you are?

Reply:You are doing the wright thing!!! If they say you're wierd theres somthing wrong with them!! I mean they are the ones ruaning there lives doing drugs. I am proud of you!!! Keep it up!!! You'll be the one with a good life so don't worry. If you still feel bad I garentie if you go to Church and read the Bible you will feel better, beacause God is on you're side!!!!!!!!!
Reply:dont worry, this is a good thing! you can be mature and they can be innmature and who do you think willl get the better job?
Reply:b/c you are more mature!


i know, it's hard to be the only matrue 15 (or 16) year old who doesn't act like a clown for fun. i love being foolish ! but i am younger than you are = )





hope i helped
Reply:mayb ur otha classmates r just too immature for your age...
Reply:Yeah, Thomas J is right. You probably are just more mature then them and someday it will pay off and they'll wish they had been more like you.
Reply:Because sweetie, your parents obviously taught you how to respect those around you and everyone is jealous of you. Kids can be so mean...I can remember I hated school because they were the same way 20 years ago when I started school as they are now that you are in the 10th grade. You are more mature than them. Don't worry about what others think...as long as you love yourself and your parents don't beat or starve you that is all that matters. You will make society proud one day!
Reply:dont worry, i was the same way in high school. i was the ONLY student who had a grade past a c in my english class which i could hardly believe. (i had all a's and everyone else had d's and f's SERIOUSLY) because i was the only one who listened and respected the teachers and did the work. (i got tease in some ways because i was the "smart" kid) but come on, at least i know im going to go to college and make tons more money in the future and half those kids will be in mcdonalds for most of their lives. honestly, dont stress that you and your friends are more mature and considered "weird," i mean at least you're actually gonna do something with your life. You have started out great, just keep going on that path. dont change it for anyone else. you will go far in life if you keep it up. trust me
Reply:Because you are [more mature]!
Reply:Hi, being 20 in the tenth grade might be why.
Reply:One day you will probably look back and regret the fact that you didn't take the time to have more fun when you had the chance. Now is the only time in your life when you can get away with being care free and ridiculous. Enjoy it while you can....
