Mature Content

I know being 17 and all; I should probably, have matured. Have I? Arguable. But I know that there's this thought (some what cocky) that I'm more mature that most of teens my age... and of course, it's just a thought. "I may not act like one but I think to some extent I can considered myself as mature" or so I thought. (As if)

To be honest, I think 'I've matured!' feeling is kind of normal for teenagers since, well, they are teenagers (like duh) and you know how teenagers like. They're weird! Really! But I'm sure that every single teenager in this world had had this thought. Or feeling. Whatever it should be. Like,I'm old enough for this thing! or I know what I'm doing! or I've grown up, stop asking me where I went or some sort. And for my case, it goes when I realize that somewhere out there, there are 17 years old teenagers bullying their friends, showing off expensive gadgets after whining for some time to their parents, talking so rude because of differences in opinion or race or religion, making things up to be popular, drinking and smoking to be cool... while I don't. Well, I don't really understand how's that make me mature, but.. I just feel like it when I think about that. I mean, can't people see how nasty those things are when they were shown in sinetron? Or teenage dramas? Still doing it while knowing how useless and corny those things are is what I considered as immature, if not plain stupid.

So, after this thought craved in my mind for some time, I have a conversation with a friend. And the result is.. I realized that I can't handle immaturity pretty well. I'm the kind of person that probably won't shut up if I was coincidentally engaged in some heated argument over something silly. I probably will slap a kid in his/her face for being rude, or kick them back if they kick me (which I did, some time in my younger years, and that is not.. so long ago). There's so many other examples I would like to point but can't due to lack of memory. So to make long story short, let's just say that.. when people actually did those things I had mentioned above (those sinetron thing) I just.. I don't know how to deal with those, I guess. And as I said to my friend, I guess the fact that I can't handle immaturity proves my own immaturity. So much for being mature, haha. I can't even tell when to stop talking or when to pinch a kid.

Like I said. Now that I'm 17 and all, I should probably have matured. But I guess I haven't yet, and I'm fine with it. But still, I think I become more and more mature after each day passed, so if until this moment it is not something considered as maturity by society I couldn't careless; I am growing up, and I can cope with the thought of being mature later on.

Besides, being immature is not bad. In fact, it's kinda cuddly, like pillows. (?)
