I think there's something wrong with me. There's got to be something, at the very least, that's totally different with me. I can carry on conversations with friends' younger siblings and their parents, especially their parents, with ease, but not them. I HATE adolescence, and I have since the beginning. I've never understood cliques and labels; I just see people. I wanted to talk about politics, religion, and things like that at 16 or 17...completely the opposite of pretty much everybody my age that I ever got around. I mean, I was mostly socialized by older kids and adults, so maybe that's got something to do with it. Is it because I've just always been so serious and intellectual? Is it the way I was socialized? Am I just around the wrong kind of people? Anybody got any ideas?

Addendum: When I was still in high school, this wasn't that big of an issue because I expected stuff like that being a teenager. The funny thing is that I'm actually 21 and very confused because college is pretty much just high school all over again.

Your ahead of your time. You are not nuts. But be careful not to put the other kids down. I think you already know that at your age and with your up bringing. You were socialized in a matter a fact way with older persons. Try not to be hard on yourself and don't take life so serious. Make time for fun and screwing around and then I would say you are a well rounded and grounded person.
Too funny!! College is much worse. It's one big party and more than not everyone is the class clown. High School Again but Not Supervised!!! lol

My mother told me that in order to move ahead and get to where you want to be, you should socialize with those who share the same interests. Nothing is wrong with you, but you may have a little self-esteem problem if you constantly think this way. You must find a creative and constructive outlet. You should probably look for some different activities and social groups to participate in with others who share the same interests. If you are over 18, then you can talk to whoever you choose.

If you've been accustomed to conversing with older and more intellectual people for a long time growing up, it's hard to break out of that cycle. You've been brought up to be intellectual. So your mind probably started out at a more intellectually mature level than your peers during childhood.

you should go to a smaller school. i went to a high school where the population was, like, 600? and it was really cool, we still acted teenager-ish, but what with being so small, there weren't really cliques (or, at least, we all mingled with everyone else). and they'll sometimes talk about intellectual stuff simply cuz theres not enough drama going on to talk about much else.

You could be the next BIG THING. Nothing is wrong with being smart and not interested in stupid stuff. I wish my kids were into a lot of the stuff you have mentioned you are into.
Your time will come to shine. Dont worry about others.

It's partly because you don't know how to relate to them and partly because you don't care about the same things. Make an effort to be friends with people your age and keep having those adult conversations with the adults. Soon both groups will merge.
