become more mature

I’m 18, I turned 18 last month. But I still act like a 13 year old! I get temper tantrums and still argue with my 10 year old sister! I want to become more mature so that my family can take me seriously.

Right now, I am not very mature and I get in trouble quite often. I really want tp become more mature!

yeah!!!!!!!

im not quite sure what to write in this but i’ll just say why i thought this looked good. I am 14 years old and will be 15 in november. i think im quite immature, my friends say im not immature, im fun! which is great. but when it comes to my little sister, im very immature and i am mean aswell!! i dont want to be mean to her, but she winds me up! i feel that if i become more mature, i will be nicer and a better role-model for my younger sister. xx

i have become more matured by improving my ability to relate to other people realities and getting to know how they fit in my reality. I enjoy having a lot of new experiences and i believe the more you reach out to the world outside you, you will become matured.

All of the people here are like children. Get drunk on Natty light and play beer pong is basically the point of Tallahassee. I’m trying so hard to subvert it. I wear slacks, dress shirts and black shoes. I iron said shirt and shine said shoes before going out every morning. All of the art in my house is framed. But somehow it doesn’t do the trick. There’s something more to it. Now I only need to find out what, and how to acclimate myself.

Tone down your fashions. First impressions do count.

You can still wear brightly colored clothes, but look at the fit and the style.

Wear sophisticated things, but express your style with piece that is a little more funny or wild, for example, big sunglasses, kitten heels, or a crazy tie.

Wear more tailored clothing, more put together.

Avoid crazy hair colors like pink and blue. Try more natural colors if you like to color your hair. The crazier colors make you look more immature and kid-like.

Use manners. Try to be courteous without being stuffy or inflexible.

When meeting new people shake their hand. A solid grip, but not too hard, two pumps of the hand and let go. Don’t look at your hands; look them in the eye. Repeat their name and make an effort to remember it.

Avoid interrupting people during conversation; people find this irritating.

Don’t play with things, look away, or fidget.

Think before you speak. If you can’t think of anything to say, don’t say it.

Listen, slightly nod, and say little things like, “Oh, yes,” to let them know you are listening.

When you speak, use facial expressions and be funny as usual, but be more serious in conversation.

Be helpful. Hold doors, help pick things up, and offer help and assistance when needed.

Talk about mature things to people, work, life experiences, and life lessons you have learned, or just about how beautiful it is outside. Notice how they carry themselves, how they dress, and how they speak.

Around kids, squat down to their size when you talk to them. Don’t act fake when they tell you something that is a big accomplishment to them. Say, “Awesome!” or, “Wow, good job.” Kids feel good when you are truly amazed instead of patronizing.

Try to use proper grammar and spelling whenever you write, including instant messaging and online games.

Keep an open mind. Just because you have never heard of or tried something, doesn’t mean you should shut it out or dismiss the possibility. Rather, see it as an opportunity for you to learn about something (or someone) new and different.

Learn to control your temper. Above all, if somebody does something you don’t agree with, try not to shout or carry on. Instead, let it go if it is a minor matter. If you must say something or disagree with someone, do so tactfully and in a conversational tone of voice. You’ll find that people respond more positively, too.

Accept compliments gracefully. If somebody has taken the trouble to compliment you,

Take criticism gracefully, too. Not all of it is valid, but it is often worth giving some thought to how others see you and what you can improve.

Be mature and polite online, too.

Turn off your caps lock key and capitalize proper nouns and the beginnings of sentences.

Think before you post. Have lots of people already said what you’re about to say? Does your post make sense?

Read and follow the rules. They’re there for a reason.

Proofread before you post. Use complete sentences

• Go easy on abbreviations (“ur”, “LOL”), slang, and emotions. A sprinkling of these in an informal setting can add color. Too many can make it incomprehensible.

Tips

Avoid trying to be the center of attention all the time.

Quit drinking caffeine. This includes coffee, soda, tea and most energy drinks. Caffeine makes you hyperactive, which in turn makes you immature. Try to not drink caffeine, but if you do, take it in small amounts.

Remember, people will enjoy listening to your contributions if you allow them the chance to speak as well.

• If someone burps or passes gas, do not laugh at it. If laughing is inevitable, try not to be the loudest person laughing at it. If you commit such an offense, say, “Excuse me.”

Groom yourself neatly.

If you’re not sure about the proper etiquette for a particular situation, notice what others are doing and follow suit. Then, make a point to look it up in an etiquette guide when you have a chance.

*By the same token, when you enter a new situation or new community, keep quiet for awhile and notice how others conduct themselves. Then, act accordingly.

please help to talk mature and make sensible arugements when am talking

look im having some troube with getting this guy that is olde than me and i need to really get him to like me more he already lkes me but in one of is lkes about a girl is for her to be mature and to know how to have afun time….

I have realized that in the past few months that I will never become mature enough to be satisfied until I am very very old. But for now, I am happy with my maturity level. I ditched that guy that I talked about in my last entry and now I’m with a guy who is even older but finds me mature and respects me. I’m still going to keep working on this, though.
