why does every one think that 12-13 were like babies?

Question

i swear every one treats us like were 5 it gets so old I'm tired of it were older more mature then adults were when there were are age its a new generation so i ask of you adults who will probably respond to this saying because you still are lil or somethin of that sort plz its a hard time for us try to see life though are eyes and try to make it easier if you can for some one of about this age

but i get straight 'A's I've never once have gotten even a "B" my room is useally clean. i like to read but my parents just act like im 5 what can i do to make them see that im responsible

ok, i love to write but mot a great typer at the moment i am taking classes but just started. so, will you people plz stop bugging me on the run sentences. goodness! what so i have to have a dictionary ever time i ask a question

ok i do admit i need to work on grammer

god people you were no help at all. well some of you were, but god i mean it ain't that hard to read god that really didn't make feel any better at all just pissed. were are all the 13 years olds to back me up on this?

ok, people just stop answering. I was mad at my parents when I asked the question which is also one of the reasons its grammer is is totally bad .
Also it didn't help at all that i was being criticized because of my freaking spelling. So i ask that you stop answering.

Answer 1

because you act like you are 5. my 14 year old brother acts like he is 3 sometimes and I hate it. I am only 17 so it was not that long ago for me. try taking up some more responsibility's around school or even in your community. at 13 I was already serving in our local church doing odd jobs, and I was a leader in my 4-H club doing community service projects. learn to work and you will not be treated like a child. after all, every true ADULT has to work.

Answer 2

That was so hard to read. You do need to work on your grammar (note the spelling). I'm an adult, and you most definitely are not more mature than I was when I was your age. For a start, I didn't come on sites like this whining about the way I was treated.

By the way, if you think now is a hard time, wait a few years. then you'll see what a hard time really is.

Edit: I was going to add more, but I'll just be repeating myself. Listen to Ashley, someone who has far more of a clue than you do. And she types properly, notice that and learn from it.

Another edit: Being mad at your parents isn't an excuse for pathetic grammar. If you want people to stop answering, then pick a best answer or delete the question. And lose the attitude, it's a sign of your immaturity. This is Yahoo ANSWERS, so people will answer questions if you post them.

Answer 3

I was 13 a half a year ago, and I have the same problem. Most of the time people will treat you as maturely as you act, but not always. Maybe work on your grammar/spelling a little because, to be honest, when I read run-on sentences like yours I think of the writer to be...well, not that bright. No offense. Some adults argue that teenagers are people who act like babies when not treated by adults, which i think is unfair to say about ALL teenagers, but in some cases, it's true. It's also true, however, that teenagers are victims of prejudice. A lot of adults think that ALL of us are "hooligans," or have no respect, or are all the same, or whatever. If you want adults to take you more seriously, I advise that you try to act a little more mature, ok?

Answer 4

I used to feel the same way when I was 12-13, because I was really mature for my age, but really its just the life experience thing, adults think that you can't understand alot of issues because you haven't lived them, I'm 17 1/2 now, and its amazing the things you learn in a few years, I thought I could understand things and I would make judgments on adult situations, looking back now I would have had different opinions because I've actually gone through alot of life lessons. I used to hate it when people used to say this to me but "you'll see when you get there", it's really a true statement.

Answer 5

it's hard for you to see right now because you're still that age but in 3 or 4 years you'll see how immature you are at 12 and 13...you'll grow a lot as a person in the next few years. just enjoy your adolescence and don't worry so much about what adults think of you. and remember, we've all been there so we can look back but you can't really look forward besides in a hypothetical way. i'm not trying to be mean but honestly you're proving your immaturity by whining like this.

Answer 6

Ok calm down I'm 13 lol.
And i agree with you. I do very often get treated by my parents like I'm five. Like they wont let me do things most other parents let there kids do. but I've come to realize that its just because they love me so much. Yes being a teen is hard but you've gotta remember that everyone went through it even your parents. even though life was probably way different back then. Kids and teens today have a lot of pressure on them. like school, relationships, family, friends, homework, there future. Its all so hard and confusing to deal with. but just hang in there it'll get better(i hope) lol
like i said, calm down, your not the only one

o and your grammar really isn't all that bad just for yahoo answers but if thats how you normally write then that is pretty bad

wait one more thing, i get straight A's to and i work very hard for it and it seems like no one ever cares

Answer 7

I'm 14, but I'm not backing you up. At this age, we ARE still kids, we DO see things differently, and a lot of us are NOT mature. It's a fact of life, don't try and argue with it. Adults have more life experience than us, therefore, more knowledge. For example, don't say you're in love and you're going to be with someone for the rest of your life...you don't know what being in love is like, ok? You're not supposed to yet. Wait a few years, preferably until you're in or out of high school.
Getting good grades doesn't mean anything about your maturity. I know a lot of people that pass classes with flying colors but still deserve to be treated like babies. Keep up the good work, but don't let that label you.
As far as telling the adults to see life through our eyes...you think they don't remember whats it's like to be this age? They know how it is, because they've been here. We haven't been their age yet, so we don't know what we're talking about.
I know, it's annoying sometimes. Like how I can't go see my friend on the other side of the neighborhood unless my mom's watching. I hate it too, but you have to try to understand where they're coming from.
There are a lot of people our age that work their tails off just to get through these years; they've earned their right to be called mature.
Some kids actually take education seriously and don't type like a kindergartener...trust me, you'll be seen as a lot more mature if you type like it. That means saying "please," not "plz," and actually using periods and commas.
Just please don't argue back with adults or tell them you're not a little kid, ok?
Like Yuki said, you complain like a five year old, you'll get treated like one.

Answer 8

I understand your point, I felt that way too. The thing about the "we're more mature than adults were when they were our age" is that it isn't true. There are far more 12-13 year olds pregnant these days than there used to be. And trust me, one of these days you will miss having someone to buy all of your stuff and having someone to take care of you. It's hard being an adult too. Enjoy being a kid, that is what you are.

Answer 9

Well, for one half of what you wrote is misspelled and by simply writing it you are acting childish. Second of all when you are 12-13 you think you have it all figured out and everyone is so unfair.Once you're grown you'll realize that things that were earth-shattering when you were 12/13 aren't that big of a deal, and once you have a kid of your own you'll understand why your parents did what they did and you'll feel bad for acting the way you did. We've all been there its just a part of life.

Answer 10

its because you act like you're 5...

i'm only 18, so 12-13 wasn't too far back for me. and yes, i do consider 12 and 13 to be YOUNG. my sister is 12, going on 13, and she complains about not being treated like an "adult" all the time, but she never ACTS like one. she has anger management problems, just like 90% of the 13 year olds out there.

it's a stage. a phase of life. you're in a weird place. not a young kid, but not old enough to be allowed to do stuff you think you are ready to do.

don't be in such a rush to grow up. act responsibly and people will treat you as such. stop complaining and embrace life the way it is.
