I'm a percussionist and also an instructor for the drummers in a school band, and I have an 11-year old pupil who is very mature for her age. On some occasions she's right there with me when I'm thinking I'm three steps ahead of her.. and of course, sometimes her age does show in some of her behaviour (she liked that Ketchup-song).. but the times where she knows what I mean and what I'm thinking, she doesn't require me to say something. She is very good at deducting things based on her perceptions.. unlike Internet-nerds where you have to spell out -every- -single- word in order for them to understand you..
I didn't place a vote, as I'm torn both ways.
I think there are very few youngsters who are mature for their age. But then again, I base that mostly on Internet-geeks who may not have the best of people skills.
I also believe there can be immature old people. I know I am from time to time.. and I'm 20 ("and a half" :P )
