I am now 21 years old, but when I was in high school I did feel like I was more mature than my classmates. I found myself being alone a lot because I just didn’t really share many interests with people my age. Now that I am older I guess I wish I would have taken advantage of being a kid – being young and enjoying school more, friends more, and letting go of all the deep thoughts that I thought were so important. Just don’t try to grow up too fast because you will never get that back. And also know that there is nothing wrong with you, and there are others who feel the same way.

My mother used to say ‘I was an old man’ before I was 15 years old. I was just more serious than most. By 18 she entrusted financial matters, etc to me. Nothing wrong with that. Just keep your head on straight, learn what you can, and know that one day your peers will catch up with you. And in the meantime you’ll find that your peers often look up to you because you’re so responsible (even if they hate to admit it).

Don’t worry about it because it’s not ‘strange’ or ‘wrong’. I felt the same way when I was your age. Most of my friends have almost always been at least a few years older and I’m perfectly happy with that. Some advice though, don’t purposely dismiss possible friendships with every single person because they’re not older than you. Chances are there’s at least one of your peers who’s interested in the same things as you are. As cliche as it sounds, the teen years are confusing times. If I managed to get through it though, I’m sure you will to.

With my group of friends, we have those who are completly at ease with adults, and some who make a point to have conversations with our parents. Personally, I have good relationships with my neighbors, and consistently defeat them at euchere.

I felt the same way in high school. I always felt, perhaps rightly, more mature than some of my peers. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And it gets better in college; I have plenty of friends my own age now. They never seem immature to me.
