Maturioty is a relative concept. You will act/react to situations as your life experience has taught you. You can add to your "experience" by reading. Read biographies/autobiographies of men and women you admire. Study their responses to situations. By incorporating their reasoning behind their responses to situations into your own life responses, you will learn to adopt attitudes similar to theirs.
Also, when you have the opportunity to make a decision, consider the potential reprocussions of that decision. Consider alternatives and their reprocussions. Then make your decisions based on that.

You need to accept responsibility for you actions. You need to be grateful and acknowledge humility. Be thankful for what you have and give with a sincere heart. Don't make rude comments or laugh when someone falls or hurts themselves. Try to help people to show that you care about the world. Volunteer for the animal shelter, or help out at a local blood drive. These things show that your mature enough to make your own decisions.

Two ways about maturity
1. your dressing: it can be done easily.
2. your personality: people get maturity through time, it is not something you can get right away, they go through a lot of things, pains, and experiences, and struggling of thoughts.....to reach certain level of maturity. I guess for a 17 years teenager, is being responsible, don't make your family or loved ones worry about you. I guess.

Mature people care genuinely about the wellbeing & welfare of others & act accordingly; immature people do whatever they feel like with no thought to the results. The two stretch light years apart from one another. It's pretty tough to fake.

You won't be able to because your brain hasn't finished developing yet.
You can make yourself look mature but not pass as being mature. Just be yourself.

well people tell me that they do it by dressing mature and also not overreacting to small things. Not curssing, and having moral values and living a righteous life. It also helps to be smart and attend college.

Be responsible for your actions.
Don't ask why, just do it.
