I'm alive, really...well, sorta
I've just been too busy with a bunch of stuff.
I was wondering, if teenagers can be very mature and responsible, ca they be taken seriously?
I've tried it and it... doesn't really work.
The main thing that is bothering me about maturity right now is with one specific person. We're all trying to be the better person and we stay out of other peoples issues and ironically, my very dramatic friends are being reasonable and smart. Still, there is one person who is older than all of us and she is the most immature.
This supports the fact that age really doesn't have that much to do with maturity. I'm lways hearing from adults that high school has this sterotype to be horrible. Honestly, I have a great time all around. I think that people who say that about high school just are talking about the drama that is so futile in our lives.
Right now, the school year is almost ending and there is one person causing all of the drama. That person will graduate soon, but I know that the drama will continue.
Sometimes I'm calmed by the thought that God intended me meet these people and become friends with them just because I know how to comfort them and because they shape who I'm supposed to become. So whenever I get all upset and I breakdown, I think "I'm supposed to go through this, it's God's plan."
That helps a little.

Yeah, maturity doesn't necessarily equate to age. I've recently run into a girl that is 23, has two kids, and is way more mature than several of the 30-year-olds I know. I think maturity has a lot more to do with what you've had to face in your life and survive, combined with the preparation you've received from family and friends. One or the other don't necessarily cut it.
Nice point about God's will too. You might think of it this way: that God is able to redeem/transform the events in which you find yourself, whether good or bad. You can get into trouble wondering if something bad happening to you is God's will. As in, is He punishing me? Do I deserve this? Rather, through these circumstances, which often are an incomprehensible mix of just-random, God's will, and his enemy's will, we can be led by God to victory, transformation, and as you put it, maturity.
Nice post.
Also glad to hear you would put a positive stamp on your high school days. Despite what might seem to be the case from your immediate friends, I would wager the majority in your school might not agree. Keep up the good work!
