12-13 Year-Olds

Being 12-13 and being an idiot like most of the people that receive such comments as "you're probably 12 or 13 or something" tend to be are not mutually exclusive, they just have a very large overlapping region when represented by a Venn diagram.

I purposefully didn't capitalize the first letter, add the apostrophe in "you're", and add a period in my quote. I thought people would figure that out, but evidently not. Just saying.

Edit: Oh, and I'm not saying anything about your intelligence. Just defending the grammar in my example.
This is when people start to say: we're not really bothered
 
It really effects me when people use affect and effect incorrectly.

(I really, really hope people detect my sarcasm.)
 
a year ago when I was 13, I'd tell people they're acting like 12-13 year-olds, because they were acting like me :p

No but really, 12-14 year-olds (including me) are dumbasses in general. You can't deny that.

If you were mature, you wouldn't be bothered by something like this.

I'm 12, and in real life I'm IMMATURE but on this forum I try to be good. :)
 
Just continue acting mature and don't draw attention your age if it isn't necessary. Most of the time it isn't. If you do that, there's no reason for you to get worked up over the issue.

And look on the bright side. At least this is a label you will outgrow eventually.

This. Nobody's ever going to discriminate against you JUST because you're 12, you have to be an ass or do something idiotic as well. Expect to have a disagreement that winds up with someone hating you every day. :P.

And remember, having good grammar and being mature is not the same thing. That's something I learned the hard way.
 
I try to act mature and polite.

There's your problem. You ACT mature and polite. If you really were you wouldn't have to act it.

Is there a difference?

Try acting retarded and then actually being a retard. There's a difference.

-No offense intended to those that are.
There's also a difference in being retarded and polite. Being polite is easy if you have the will to, while you can only be born retarded. So acting it doesn't make you it, while acting polite can make you polite. Besides, if he isn't polite, but acts it, he makes the forum a much nicer place. So I really don't see the problem if he acts it.
 
Don't try too hard. Why not enjoy being 12 while you're still 12 and not act any way at all? Just act yourself. If you're not acting yourself then who will act like you? Don't act like the way you think a mature or grown person will act. Just act the way you think would be most fun and rewarding. Don't stress yourself over this. I wore a Burger King crown all day today at the mall and it felt great!! And I'm 19. Just have fun and enjoy life. Did you like my 3:00 am rant?
 
You may be 12, and you may act mature, but you still have the need to draw as much attention to you as possible, apparently.

If you are mature online, people will know it. If you're mature irl, you still have to deal with people seeing you as young, but that's not something you should be ranting about online, as it won't do much good.

Besides, it's always fun to have the 'Whoa, you're only [12-14]? I thought you were like [older]' line online after people realize your age.
