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.


The dictionairy is the source of all knowledge and is 100% true.

True story.

In all seriousness, people like us (ie: under 18) can be quite mature, but honestly? You get much more mature as you grow up. I thought I was supermature at 14, but now at 16 I reflect and I can see how much I have matured. And I dont doubt that this will continue over the years.



Wise for your years, sharif1. Wise for your years.

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.

Well said, signs of someone maturing.

xbl is not the proper way to judge maturity. EVERYone acts like an ass from time to time. anyone who denies it is a liar. and just because somebody is acting like and ass OVER THE INTERNET that automatically makes them immature? because these older guys (lets say 24+ cause they would be out of college) are more than likely going out and working so they have money to pay for a house and food. that shows to me maturity, because they have responsibilities and they take care of them.

Hate to continue to beat home this point but view the first six or so posts of this thread and take careful note of who is making the "you.suck." comments.

I agree, I'm 21. There should be an under 17 option, seeing as that's how old you're supposed to be to play this game. :P

Well I will be 40 in December which should make me reasonably mature but according to most of my friends, family and collegues the fact that I play video games makes me very immature. When you get to my age anyone under the age of 25 seems to be a kid, all i have to say to you "kids" is enjoy it while it lasts because it don't last for long.

Maturity is born of experience, and there's nary a child in the western world who's experienced real problems. Lots of people have siblings who are late developers. Did you have to negotiate murderous rebels and plague infested mine fields to get some water for your sibling? It's all relative. There is always someone with greater pain.

Don't get down because of your age just confess we all are humans we all have been through different age groups. I am 13 and proud of it, if don't like it then get the -blammity- out of this thread.

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.


i dont care what the dictionary says about maturity asfar as your votes go 84% are 17+ i can guarantee that the ones who voted 18+ are actually like in there 20's like me. my point being what the dictionary states as mature doesnt have a baring on how mature you are the rating on the game is stated mature because its age range is meant for 17 and up. the reason us older guys are sick of playing with high pitched squeaky voiced annoying brats who just yell into the mic, i cant tell you how many times i have gone into a game and just heard the dumbest questions from kids 15 under and the most annoying trash talk from kids not even out of grade school, i dont care how mature you kids think you are you think because mommy and daddy bought you and xbox 2 years of xbox live and paid for the tv and internet connection you can be annoying little -blam!-s and get away with it.

i'll put this scenario out there for you on the weekend i was in a room with one of my friends one of his friends joins the room and says give me party leader i want to show you guys my map i just spent an hour making (he's around 14 - 16) so we go into forge and he shows us this map and he's like this is the best map ever it's the koolest so we fly around and look at the map. basically what he's done is made an entire map one sided so he can win. i tell the kid straight up this is this worst map i have ever seen and its terrible you are goingto have people join your room to play and within minutes of playing they are going to quit, his response "-blam!- you i didnt ask for your opinion this map is the best here i'll even proove it to you how good it is". im like ok kid what ever lets play a game. so the way the map is designed is for 15 min rounds territories one territory and the defenders are get every weapon imaginable plus teleporters to get them right to the sea wall (last resort). i spawn in the water on the beach take two steps bam im sniped, spawn again sniped, and again and again. so we go back into the lobby and i prolly everyone on my team and his hated it. so once again i tell him its -blam!- no one will play it yadayada he says "i didnt ask for your opinion i just wanted to test my map" well hate to tell you the point of testing a map is to get feedback and the only feedback he's getting from it is negative.

my point to that story is you guys shouldnt be playing this any one over the age of 18 in that situation would have taken the feedback and would have said ok tell me what i need to do to fix it, not get in your face and -blam!- and whine and yell. so suffice it to say any one under the age of 17 should not be playing this

No such thing as a mature 14 year old unless your homeland is ravaged by famine, pestilence, plague and death.

Maturity may not be completely based on age... but developtment of the brain and social skills usually are, as you can see from a few of your statements. Being "proud of" your age? You do realize your age is constantly changing... and its not exactly an achievement.

Also, if you really want to get the dictionary involved in your little debate... maturity has many meanings, including age. When someone or something reaches its physical growth peak, it has matured. Would you argue that maturity does not, in a variety of ways, include age?
