What can I do to start thinking like an ordinary 16 year old instead of a 25 year old?
I just realized that I’m too big for my age, and it sucks big time!
I’m giving dating advice and teaching about attraction to a 21 year old guy, who’s obviously confused.
I don’t like the feeling.
I have 2 options.
a) Try and talk like a 16 year old which may not help him.
b) Be a 30 year old dad that might help him and make me grow up even faster, which I obviously don’t want to happen.
“Rashu, you are mature for your age”
I get that a lot, and I seriously hate it…and the fact is, it might be true.
All I want is my childhood back. I was forced to grow up and I was given too much of responsibilities as a child.
I was not allowed to play, but I was supposed to take care of 7 younger cousins (I lived in a joint family).
I was not supposed to watch cartoon, because I had to help my mother with the house work when I was 6.
I was not allowed to be naughty because my mother wouldn’t tolerate a complaint about me being immature at that age.
I’ve skipped my childhood, and now I am in a position where I can’t turn back even if I want to.
When I watch kids play in the park, I get all jealous and ask myself “Why can’t I join them?”
It feels bad.
And NOW my mom says “Act your own age.”
I don’t know how.
I try to go out with kids and play…and sometimes, sneak into their play ground.
Children love me for some reason…probably because they can sense that I’m a wannabe child…or perhaps, a child at heart just like them.
Any suggestions?
I hope you understand what I’m saying.
Here’s some pictures.
*Best Wishes*

You missed out on childhood. That is tragic, I admit it, but users of this site do not want to hear all this negativity and sop-stories. You have had a tough time, take it in your stride and make the most of what you have got. Use it to your advantage. Make a fool out of those with a younger mental age if they p*ss you off. If you have indeed posses such wisdom as you claim, don’t mourn it, celebrate it.

Every single person is unique.
Rather than complain about your abilities and wanting to force change onto your self you should be using your abilities.
That is unless like many of the others young people, you are also going to run around crying how hard life is as that’s easier than dealing with life’s. You should also remember that dealing with life is the path to a long and happy experience.

I feel for you, I had to kinda skip my childhood too since we had problems in the family (alcoholistic dad, for example…)
You have atleast some friends your age, right? I don’t have that many friends but I try to hang out with them whenever I get the chance, like when my friend #1 comes to my city from 400kms away I try to hang out with her and my other classmate/friend #2 whenever I get the chance to.
For example we grill outside in a grillhouse and just do stupid stuff, have music, etc., I even acted like a stripper since there was a pole nearby and Gimme More playing I just had to
Alcohol isn’t necessary, but maybe 4 or so beers to keep things funnier? :]
bottom line:
Don’t be afraid to be playful and a little “immature”, you’re 16 and if you wanna climb on that tree and yell stupid stuff DO SO! Or ask your friend to spank you with a kombatan stick! It’ll be fun!

A 16 year old? Think less, and do more…..

I also missed out on childhood; in my case because of abuse and other things. I was cooking dinner for the family and keeping house when I was 7.
I was never a ‘normal, average’ teenager, I was always too old for my real age.
But as you get older it doesn’t matter anymore. When you’re on your own, you can do as you wish. I’m 47 and I still play at playgrounds. I will have my childhood for the rest of my life; I will have *my* kind of fun for the rest of my life. There is no one to tell me not to.
Patience, my wonderful young friend. Pick a day and turn your brain off, then go out and just *do* stuff. Want to slide down the slide? DO IT! Want to skip rocks across a pond? DO IT! Want to eat junk food and ignore your chores/duties? DO IT!
Big hugs and lots of love and luck to you!!!!

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t know if you can do anything about it. Your mental maturity is something you probably don’t have any control over. I think you should be happy you’re so mature, just don’t forget to have fun. Spend time with friends your age and try to enjoy doing the things they do. You’re a great kid, so stop worrying about it.
