I still like to do kid stuff. You know, trick-or-treating, playing childish online games, making childish jokes sometimes, fooling around, kid stuff. I still want to be a kid for as long as possible, but should I still act this way or 'act my age'?
PS: I can't tell you how old I am but I can tell you I am a teen.

As long as people don't find it annoying, you be a kid for as long as you want. Adulthood comes on fast, and it's with you for the rest of your life. Most grown-ups still do a lot of the stuff you mentioned....but I won't be going out on Halloween ! Too cold and damp for older bones ! You be yourself and enjoy life

You can do both. My husband Keith and I are 23 and 20, respectively; although we are both responsible adults we act like we're 10 most of the time. We watch a lot of cartoons and animated movies and just act really goofy sometimes. Yet we still act responsibly when it comes to life. I tend to act more responsibly than people my age, but I act like I'm 10 when it comes to having fun.
Be responsible when you have to, but let your goofiness show through. Being childish is much more attractive than being an 18 year old college kid getting drunk all the time anyway. You might want to try doing volunteer work with young children, you're probably well suited for it.

Find away to profit from it - like teach small children, create games, be a professional clown, comic or other performer and don't worry about it. It is a wonderful thing to look at the moon and see it's face and not just an asteroid. The world needs youth and youthful antics at many ages that is why Robin Williams, Carrott Top and J.K. Rowling are so successful. "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone."

Keep it going. Going on your writing style and the question itself, I'm inclined to suspect you're not 'immature' in any problematic way.
It sure beats being this person:

I laugh myself silly at 'It's not generally known that the great Pharoahs of Egypt were great cooks, but one is still known to this day for a dish -- lamp Cheops,' and I'm in my 30s, and that dreadful joke comes from somebody in his 40s. I also think most things to do with farting and poo are hilarious.
Right now I'm in a great mood because I'm about to carve a pumpkin.
Don't repress it. So long as it's all in fun, and you also have a healthy ability to be serious when it's necessary, be silly. People without the ability to be silly seem much more prone to fits of depression.

Some things are okay. Just remember to act responsibly and use common sense. Fooling around too much can be dangerous to you or to someone else. Try to think about the consequences before you act out a prank.

Ah, don't stress about it. A lot of people don't act their age. Just don't get arrested or become a really timid person. Both sides of the spectrum, I guess.

there's nothing wrong with having fun, but you just need to know when the situation calls for gravity and seriousness, you don't have to act serious all the time, just when it's appropriate
