Embrace the fact you’re more mature at 14. When I was in high school, I felt the same way and encountered backlash from my peers who were more interested in boy bands and hair styles than philosophy and politics. You’ll get flack from adults, but stand your ground and definitely don’t ‘dumb’ yourself down to be on anyone’s level. You’ll find that once you’re an adult, some of the idiots who looked down on you in high school are either flipping burgers, raising babies, flunked out of college or gorged on drugs.

I can pretty much turn down the ages of wisdom. It helps me to be detached from the situations, realizing that all people have different perspectives and most people of my age don’t see things from my ‘old soul’ point of view. I try not to be judgmental and I find that it gets me further than to impose my views no matter how right they may be. And you will find people like you. I mean, the world is filled with interesting people.

I’m the same way. I jam more to the Rolling Stones and The Cure than to any current music. As far as peers your age, just give them time. I’m sure some of them will come to understand you.

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.

Name : Brendan M., Gender : M, Sexual Orientation : Gay, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Agnostic, Age : 19, City : Seattle, State : WA, Country : United States, Occupation : Student, Education level : High School Diploma, Social class : Middle class,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.
