Well, let's put it this way. Between the time a person is your age, and the time a person is Pete's age, that person will learn an aweful lot about life and what things are really important. That older person will also have a much wider perspective from having had a long time to do a lot of things. As such, you will be a lot more mature in 30 years than you are now. And at your age, even a few years of experience can have a huge impact on how a person acts.
Now of course, one person may be more mature at 13 than another at 16. Some people develop faster physically and mentally, some are forced to take on more responsibilities at a younger age, and so on. But if I had to judge people's maturity based on a single fact, age would probably be the thing I'd want to know.
