Hey teenagers, is 15 old?

Question

my mom is freakin me out sayin dat im not young anymore, and im all grown up, but i wanna stay a lil kid , well only for lil longer, is she right?

Answer 1

15 is old enough to be a mature young adult...don't get me wrong it's still a kid, but u should be becoming a lady.

Answer 2

You are still considered small because you are not legally a grown up or an adult but you are not a little kid either. You can consider your self a teenager. And at this time it is not very wise for teenagers to act like gorwn ups because they will do somethings that are considered underage. As for answering your question your mom is half right and so are you. If your mom is asking for you to do things like take out the garbage, make your bed, put the dishes away and etc. then that is not bad but if your mom expects you to make your own food, pay for your expenses and all the other stuff than that is bad. You should be happy that you do not want to grow up fast and your mother shouldn't be pressuring you saying you are all grown up. I think you mom probably means that you should clean up after yourself, do your laundry and all the other easy stuff. If your mom wants you to do more than that then she is wrong. If you think some things that your mom expects you to do are way too hard then tell her i am sure she would understand!

I hope I helped you!

Being 15 thru 17 is a difficult age. You are old enough to do this and that, yet not old enough to do this and that. Depending on the circumstance in which your mom said this to you, it sounds like she wants you to be mature and act your age. First of all I think its great that you want to stay a kid. Many people your age want to grow up and fast. It's great that you realize growing up isn't everything. At the same time, maybe there are responcibilities your mom wants you to do. Maybe school or maybe chores at home. You are old enough to handle certain responcibilities. Don't take what your mom is saying as an insult. She wants you to act your age. Tell me if I'm right or wrong, but it sounds like you aren't sure what you should be doing at your age. Maybe, in a mature way, you should sit down and tell her this. Ask her what is expected of you. Be honest, not cocky, and tell your mom "Mom I need you to tell me what to do or what is right because i'm not sure what that is". If your mom understands that you are confused about what should be going on at your age, maybe she can and she should guide you. Give your mom a break, parenting doesn't come with a handbook just like being a teenager doesn't come with a handbook. Be open and honest. I say be careful not to be cocky because some parents will take that as you being naughty. Do your best to make yourself and your feelings clear, even if you have to write her a note.
Good Luck!

being an adult just means you get more mature just because you are grown up you have to act more responsable there are alot of adults that are kids at heart you are not young but you are not all grown up you are between you mom is trying to get you take on more responsablity which can be good for you you are 15 and 16 comes the drivers license but if your parents dont feel like you are responsible your drivers license can be postponed you can be grown up and still a kid maturity can be great

how would you like to be a kid at heart and have all the priveledges of an adult

Answer 5

You're still growing. Your mom is right, in a way. You're getting older and you should start taking some responsibility. However, you're not quite that age yet to be considered an adult. I wouldn't worry about your mom telling you that you're not a kid anymore. It's not like she'll make you pay the bills or anything. You're allowed to still have fun and be a kid. Enjoy your teenage years. Don't spend them worrying about your adult years.

Answer 6

You can be a kid at heart forever. Youth doesn't have to die. But in the eyes of law and adult hood, you technically aren't "adult" until your 16-18 depending on how you want to look at it. I don't think people are fully adults until they are 21 years old. That's my perspective. Your mom may just be looking ahead into the future, in a year you'll be driving, and in 3-4 years your gonna be off to college. She is jus freaking out because the years are flying by fast for her and she doesn't know what to do. Are you the only/last child in your family?

Answer 7

no she is not right but you are growning up i am 16 and you will grow out of being a lil kid you will not want to be like this so get ready if you not in high school yet cause they will make fun of you if they know

Answer 8

15, I think is considered young adult,,,You are not quite ready to be on your own, but you should be learning responsibility for yourself & your surroundings. It is wonderful that you want to stay young, (doesn't everybody) But at 15 you should be planning for your future, practicing good judgement & responsibility & exploring the grown up world around you. 18, 19, 20 & 21. Are not that far off, are you prepared?

Answer 9

I'm 15 too and I'm the exact same way. Even though these our the best times of our life, I still want to go back to when it was so much easier.
Adults say it's easy now but it's just as hard just different problems.

But you're still young. You're still considered a child until 18.

Answer 10

No. But maybe your mom just wants you to take on more responsibility. You can still be a little kid, but your mom wants you to grow up which is hard. My mom is like this too. Just tell her you will grow up, but you're not grown up yet.
