I am 18 and am not even close to being “mature”. I get mad when my parents dont let me do anything but now I am looking back at myself and realizing that in order to have freedom, I need to earn and deserve it. I also have temper tantrums when I dont get my way, and never clean up after myself. I have never had a job and expect my biological father to pay for everything, and I right now I am not doing very well in college.
I asked my mom how I can go about becoming more mature, and she said, “Take care of your responsibilities. Follow through.” And my step dad said, “Realize that youre not the center of the universe.”
Good advice. Today I am going to go buy a bookshelf to get my crap more organized, apply at McDonalds, clean out my car, mop the floors like I have been saying I will do for weeks, and maybe get some homework done.
I was invited to a party tonight but dont think I’ll go. There are more important things to be done that will have more benefits in the long run.

since i am the youngest in the family, speaks my mind with such force and is more inclined to rebellion, i am often scolded and told to become a responsible woman.
so i realize maybe i need to fix some aspects in my personality. and i am quite tired of being scolded all the time.

mature, for me is good in accepting a person, i mean not arguing or protesting all the way they act, especially a small mistake, that could me not that comfortable in that condition. tolerating is a good word to explain these, i guess. and believe it or not, i try it hard to make these happen and i failed in several times. until it made my boyfriend leave me. hahha. sad ending, wasnt it? perhaps, its a big call for me!

When I was 13, I felt mature. When I was 15, I felt mature and realized I wasn’t very mature when I was 13. When I was 17 I realized I wasn’t mature at all when I was 15. When I was 19 I realized how immature I was as a 17 year old. Now I’m older than that and looking back, I was so immature at 19! I think there are different stages of maturity, and a 13 year old is more mature than an 8 year old mentally and emotionally, but is nowhere close to a 23 year old. I can only expect that I’ll continue to grow as a person with every year. In my twenties, I feel like a completely different person than the me of my teens. But I’m not as mature as I’ll be at age 33.

I wanna be more mature and responsible, constantly helping them rather than always kidding around. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wanna be so serious I never have fun, but I wanna learn the balance.

Well most people would say I’m pretty mature for my age, I can have good social skills and I don’t act immature alot of the time but I am immature when bad things happen, or things I’m not expecting and I don’t know how to deal with them, so I go in a strop which is kinda immature and I wanna grow out of this and learn a new and mature way to deal with unexpected and/or bad things in my life.
