Do you ever feel older than you actually are?

[chisnpeke]

Ya sometimes I do.
I'm gonna be 20 soon!! But on Monday I was at my BFs house and we were just hanging out and I was like....wow I feel like we're old and married already! haha.

I cannot STAND 90% of the teenage culture of right now, twilight, T.I/Soulja Boy/T-Pain/all of those poppy pseduo-hip hop acts ick, miley cyrus, the hills, tna clothes, abercrombie, pseudo-indie movies (ie; juno, little miss sunshine, nick & norah) all that stuff that's in among the 14-20 crowd just does NOT appeal to me.
I indulge in some hokey pop culture stuff every so often (ie; a jonas brothers concert lol) but generally, I stray away from that.

And I MUST say, you wouldn't believe all the aforementioned stuff I see on my university campus! haha.
I also definitely indulge in some typical teen activities, I like to go out clubbing and stuff. It's definitely fun & a good time.

So yes, sometimes I feel way older, but on the other hand sometimes I'll be doing something and think "WTH...I'm almost done my 2nd yr of university! I'm WAY too young for that!!!" haha

on a side note.....I'M ALMOST 20!!! wherrrre did the time go??!?!

I still can't believe I'm 20. I always thought of 20 as this new level of maturity, you're officially grown up. Now that I'm 20 I don't feel much different than I did at 19.

It's so awkward because I feel like I'm emotionally ready for a lot of life's things but financially I'm not. I still live at home, which I really don't mind. I just can't make myself spend lots of money on something I can't keep (like an apartment or dorm). I really feel like I'm stuck between teenager and adult. It's so annoying!!!

I liked Juno. Award winning? Probably not. But still good enough that I own it.
I liked the ending of Little Miss Sunshine - we watched it in health class in the 8th grade.

Ya I'm gonna be 20 in about a month and I always thought 20 was definitely going to be something big. But thinking about it, there's no way I could ever be out on my own at that age! I still live @ home as well, so I'm in the same boat as you, I'm stuck between teenager & adult. It's so weeeird. My job is so brutal I get minimum wage I could never support myself off that. I JUST got my first credit card last week, I don't even know how to pay my own bills--I just give my mom the money and she does it for me!! lol
Living at home makes me still feel like a child but I'm an adult! It's so weeeeird!

I do that too! I ask my mom how much I "owe" her and she sends in the check. I have my own checking account but barely use it...I just use a credit card and pay it off each month.

Today some person who worked at the deli asked me how old I was. I told him I was 12, and he was like, "Oh cause i'm a DJ and it looked like u were turning 16 so I was wondering if you needed a DJ for your sweet 16"

^^my life story...everyone always thinks im older than I am

 

[wdwllamadancer]

I sometimes feel older but people think I am younger, not because of my personality but because of my looks.
I was about 12 when I was getting my dress fitted and the woman who was measuring me was like, "Oh and how old are you, 8 I am guessing?" she was dead serious so I said no 12 and she was genuinely surprised

 

[jobrosx0disney]

i agree. im like that. i feel so mature for my age.
my school and the kids in my school are all basically alcholics and drugies and they all smoke. no joke. and its not even like i like in a crapy area. i just dont see a point to any of that at all. like why do it now and risk your lives instead of just waiting until you're older? and also... like kids make COMPLETE fools of themeselves when they're drunk. ive seen my friends drunk... its not pretty. and the stories that i hear after a weekend, about things that kids did and they dont even remember doing... thats pathetic. kids are idiots these days... and its partially parents faults. one of my friends talks to her mom about her favorite beers and liquors... oh true? what is that? i mean... c'mon people.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Everyday.
I do believe I'm the most mature out of my group of friends.
I don't drink, I don't party, I don't do drugs, or any of those things.
I always pay attention to finances. (As in, when I need money, if I'll have it, what I should/can spend it on.)
I'm very concerened with my health. (A lot of people at school could care less.)
I interact with adults very well (I love talking to adults.) and I try never to disrespect anybody and I don't backtalk.
I feel like an adult most of the time. I kind of like it.
I also love a lot of things like reading, writing, classical, soundtrack, scrapbooking all these things that nobody else at school likes becuase they think it's stupid.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Nope.
I feel a lot younger then I actually am.
The perfect word to describe me is innocent or pure.
When I think of innocence, I think of a child.
I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't curse, I've never been kissed.
Most of my friends have or do all of them.
Everytime my friends start talking about it, I just immediately get quiet and seem like I'm mad, when I just dont know what to say.

I'm immature, I laugh at stupid things and crack crude jokes a lot.
I'm told to grow up a lot.
I enjoy being a kid, I have no intention's of acting older then 25 in the near future.
I don't act like I'm 15.

It completely depends. Sometimes I feel younger, other times older. I don't look my age at all. I actually look about 4-5 years younger than I actually am, which can be a major pain in the rear end sometimes.

But, I don't gossip and can't stand it when other people do. It's one of my major pet peeves-along with insulting others about their looks and other misc. things out loud. It's one thing to think it, because you can't help what pops into your head, but when people say things like that out loud, where the person your talking about could possibly hear you, I just find it extremely rude and immature. I also don't really fight back when people yell at me-most of the time. When it comes to those stupid, ridiculous fights, people could yell at me for as long as they want and I'll just stand there and take it. It's not really worth it IMO, because that just causes more issue and I hate drama. Most of the time I just let what they say go in one ear and out the other anyway.

I don't like breaking rules. I have to always get my work done ahead of time, because if I don't I stress out majorly about it until it's done. I don't like being late for things. I'm not very outgoing or a party girl. I'd be completely content hanging around my house for the day and being with my family. I'm not a spender either. I like to save my money. That way, later on, when everybody else is broke, I'll still have something. ^__^

I do like video games and MTV tho. And I think random things are funny. Like that Kung Pow movie. It's ridiculously stupid and yet-oddly hilarious all at the same time. I'm also fairly clueless when it comes to a lot of things too. I'm completely brain dead when people flirt with me-never realize it until the person is gone and someone I know points it out. I was watching this movie in one of my classes once and when one of the actors said this line (I know it was something sexual related...I think), everyone in the room started laughing. I just sat there like this: :l tho because....I didn't get it. ;>__<

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't know what a lot of words in relation to...certain things mean. And get laughed at a lot because of it. I'm probably the most innocent person my age out there in the entire world, but...that's ok! ^__^

I feel older all the time.

Are you my long-lost twin? LOL. Except like a few things, I'm that way. I get laughed at for not knowing *certain* things and a lot of times people say "Shut up, we don't want to ruin Emily's innocent little mind" (It's weird 'cause it's mostly my younger cousin that says that). I think the only thing that's "different" between me and what you wrote is that I'm kind of outgoing. I hide my shyness really well unless I'm at a family reunion. I have some STRANGE relatives.

I also have a lot of older friends versus friends my own age because the kids my own age are well...those are the kids that have to try the hardest not to "corrupt" me.

I really do feel older than I am.
I feel much more mature and more responsible than my peers.
I care about my schoolwork and my life while others could care less.
My looks have a lot to do with it too.
People always ask if I'm in high school but I tell them I'm in 8th grade.

Yet, I still act immature.
I giggle at dirty jokes and make some myself.
I gossip about people I love the most.
