I know I'm quite different than other 16 year olds; however, I sometimes act immature. This is mostly when I'm talking to a teacher about something that he understands and I feel happy that I can relate to someone, but sometimes I think he may think I'm being immature with my over-enthusiasm. Still, the conversation content is what most would consider not typical for someone my age (nature of Reality, subjective perspectives, philosophy, and other literary and historical figures. I feel almost imbibed with my emotions, but I just don't want to be perceived as being immature. So do you think my teacher considers me to be immature due to my over-enthusiasm (in some cases) despite that the content is quite...mature?

Get rid of your inhibitions! Be natural! You are good, not immature at all, as can be easily discovered from what you have written above! Your teacher will certainly not misjudge you!

ask your teacher...what do you have to lose? ...and why do you care? Does it matter if the teacher thinks you are immature? is it going to affect your grade? do you want to make an impression on your teacher?
if you want to make an impression, and become friends, gay lovers (joking), whatever, then all you have to do, is ask like 'am i immature for speaking of this and that' ..and the teacher, if does think so...wil ltell you, well, I don't think your immature for talking about those things, but because of your enthusiasm...etc, etc. or of the teacher doesn't, then the teacher wil lbe like....no, talking about things like philosophy is not immature, its very sophisticated...and then you'll know..
Besides...there is a difference between maturity and intelligence. If you can talk about those things ande think about them--then you are intelligent, in a certain area (not necessarily IQ), but does not mean you have to be mature.
good luck with your teacher ;)

Why are you judging yourself to other students? Just because your primary conversation topics don't lie in sports and f ucking doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. The content is no more mature than anything else that you could possibly be talking about, it is how you are talking about whatever it is you are talking about. Learn to relax and not compare yourself to other people, let your peers compare themselves to you and feel like morons.

Why don't you discuss this with your teacher if you think he is good in Counseling?

I wouldn't say "mature", you seem to mean "intellectualized"... I'm screaming ... OVER intellectualized.
