Well to start off i'm 14, but a very young 14, theres a bully in my class, and apparently he makes fun of me becuase he"
thinks" i'm immature, but personally, i don't feel that I am. I'm polite, i alwasy say please,thank you,excuse me , I treat people with equality if they do so back to me. etc, i'm not exactly a very silly person all together i know when to be serious and when not to be, i usually do well in school 85% + , i don't make fun of people, becuase i know whats its like. And this bully thinks i'm immature, basicly he throws stuff at people,makes fun of them,and pushes people around,he drinks and what not, so the question is, Am I immature?

I couldn't tell you whether your are immature or not,, but I don't think that's the problem.
You see, bullies, to pick on people, will come up with any excuse ( true or not) to pick on others, which is, ironically, an immature thing.
Your not in elementary anymore, your in high school. Bullying isn't suppose to exist anymore,in fact, if he bad Mouthe's you everyday or worst, I would call that harassment.
If you file a harassment complaint, things should be taken seriously, and maybe it would help this bully to act mature a little.
You've done nothing wrong. Good luck

You have every right to be immature - do goofy things, have fun, etc. You are young. This doesn't mean you don't have manners, that is taught by your parents from a young age and applies to any age. Also you sound kind and intellegent.
Sounds like this other 'person' is a classic bully. He has problems stemming from who-knows-where (probably home life). Difficult as it may be, distance yourself from him, but not from fear, there is no positive stuff to learn from, nor any fun to be had with this kid.
Be firm in your stance, don't be afraid of him, but don't, heaven forbid, fight. You have the advantage of intellect and awareness that this toad is not quite right in the head.
You are fine.

You absolutly are NOT immature. The only problem here is the word you mentioned in your first sentence, BULLY. That the only thing this is all about. It is not about you. Even to the bully it is not about you. It's all about what an insecure jerk he is....and he is probably not even aware of it on a consenous level. He just picked you as a convienent target to pick on.
You have some options. #1 ignore him! That might be bad for your self esteem in the long run and might show other bullies that they can pick on you too. #2 Rat him out to the teacher/principal. That will only make more trouble for you. Trust me! #3 Curse him out, of pick out a sore spot and insult him...see how he reacts. #4 Kick his ***....DON'T be afraid! Even if you get your butt kicked, AT LEAST YOU WOULD HAVE STOOD UP FOR YOURSELF! Nothing wrong with takeing a few hits. It will make a man of you.

No you're not immature. The bully is. You sound like a great guy. I don't see how you can possibly think you're immature. That's really stupid. Because you totally DON'T sound like an immature person. =]

No, you're not immature and hes playing the role of the "bully" with probably self esteem issues and deep emotional childhood abandonment issues. Don't feed into his bullying tactics.

He is the immature person...and he obviously isn't happy with himself...as most bullies aren't. Keep on being yourself. You have plenty of time to "mature"...personally my little girl can go on playing and goofing off with dolls, games etc...as long as she wants...kids grow up so fast now a days.

You are immature because of your age, you and all other 14 year olds. Don't care about what he thinks of you, to thine own self be true. What matters is what you know is true about you. The bully is wrong for his behavior. His opinion is worthless.

Your maturity is determined by how you approach problems.
From what you said you about yourself, you respond in a very mature manner to problems.
Your bully is immature because he does not know how to act appropriately to problems.

You are not immature by any means. It is sounds actually that you are wise beyond your years. It seems that he has some self esteem issues and he is desperately trying to fit. It upsets him that you are comfortable with yourself to just be you. stay the way you are.
