That was kind of my point. I don't like being naive and teenagery. I guess people misunderstood what I said (and/or took too much stock in the title of the thread). I know aging is inevitable. I was merely asking whether people wanted to present themselves in a way that was different from their ages. I never asked if people were worried about growing older.

To be honest, I'm more in line with your post, as in I feel young and old.

Well if you do put it that way, I guess older. I mean people at my age are still a bit immature, just coming out of college, but then again I don't want to be that "bitter old man" mentality.

I just like having the knowledge of an older man, while still maintain my youth. I still haven't had major injuries or diseases.. so I hope to maintain that.

I wish for the simplicity of youth yet the wisdom of being old. Unfortunately, that seems to be something that is impossible to obtain, because wisdom often makes things more complicated.

I'm a 16 year old girl who has to work for her respect. Around most people, I give them my mature side and I let them know that I am not naive when it comes to many things. However, that's not me. I can't be that way 24/7. I'm still a child and I need to let myself out every once in a while. The only time I can do that is around my family and one of my closest friends who, unfortunately, I can only see once or twice a month because she moved. I would love to express my crazy, hyper side to people, but I can't. Being taken seriously is something that's really important to me. I especially need to smarten the hell up around males. If I let go of my keen intuition and throw my common sense out the window, I'll be screwed over. That's what teenage boys like to do to girls. It's all about sex, but that's another conversation.
