Maturity does NOT depend on age. Says so in the dictionary, 4.pertaining to or characteristic of full development. Do you see an age specified in that sentence, no.
First, we do not even know what the rest of the defination states as presented by you because you cut and pasted whatever part of it worked for your defense. Second, at the ripe age of 14 how can you even feel you have reached "full development" as you so nicely eluded to with your definition.
I'll post teh Merriam-Webster Online Defination for all of you. I did not post to pick on you but to simply point out that slinging the word "mature" back and forth at each other, regardless of age, does nothing to strengthen your arguement that you are in fact mature. #'s 2 and 3 are pressumably what you would like to pay attention to.
