The answer is yes and no, depending on
nurture, environment, personal development
and social development.
From observation the answer on my part is no.
 And I include myself in this. I may
express my opinions well but overall there
are MANY aspects in which I too am immature
and I have no problem admitting it.
City kids are more streetwise though perhaps?
I think maturity itself is mistaken for kids
doing more "adult" things, but not
neccessarily in a mature manner. |

miss sunshine thats the opinion i would have
said too 
Kids understand alot of whats happening but
not the reason and cant decide whether or
not they want to be involved as there lead by
older children.
Thats why you see younger kids on the streets
with older children. |

I think there is a problem of young people
having no responsibilities whatsoever, hence
the "adultlike" activities to begin with.
I myself have very few responsibilities,
which will undoubtedly and thankfully change
when I attend college.
My aunt still washes my socks, cooks for me
etc. I generally contribute to the housework
very little. A while ago kids my age would be
leaving home. If I left home today I'd be
dead before I know it, and I know for certain
I am not just speaking for myself here.
Alot of children have too much freedom, they
just do what they like and take no
responsibility for their actions.
I find that families are more distant.
That's just some observations. |

I think that there is more information
available to kids, both positive and
negative. More education (though many
countries, England included, have slipped).
More awareness, but more maturity? That's
doubtful. We have more time on our hands, too
much infact, to doss around, so we don't take
action and there are those who don't grow up
until they're at least 25, again no
responsibilities and often lack of
appreciation.
I suggested to my uncle not so long ago that
perhaps something good can come out of the
upcoming recession. |

There are definitely some kids (13-16) doing
things meant for adults with a clear lack of
regard for the seriousness and maturity of
understanding of those things and the
consequences that follow..
Doesn't make them more grown up, mature,
adult or respectable.
And then there are those who do take
responsibility for their behaviour, and those
who behave civilly...
nature Vs nuture in the case of human beings,
nature will lose.. fact.
as im pretty sure littlemisssunshine said (i
cant exactly remember at this point...)
environment can be a deciding factor in how
fast the child develops mentally, sometimes
physically too..
i think i may have gone off topic a little..

No that's not off topic, that's pretty much
spot on there. Often kids do more "grown up"
things thinking that it makes them mature. |

what is mature ?
is it , following a morale code passed down
previous generations ?
if so doesn't this adapt as new creation
within a society changes , making solutions
more complex as the attributions of situation
has changed by bureaucracy's and higher
morale codes...
therefore new experimental thinking and
action is required .... highlighting a
learning aura that could be mistaken as
immaturity
or is it....
experience of the lifes woe's , that lead to
masterfulness of situation presented by
environment of society ,
through trial and error and influenced by
wants, needs and desires of an individual
...
of course the wants and needs , may conflict
with with morale codes....
thus deeming you irresponsible and immature
...
due to your desire, ambition and wants as a
young person...
which would not be the same as a person that
is older..... thus the maturity card is
played.. to make one think and correct if
emotion dictates it |

Ah good, if i get too ranty about something
im gonna go off in a dozen different
directions 
but yes, something just came to mind.
I remember back when i was 15, at a friends
house, her mum was complaining something
about my friend wanting to be older and her
wanting to be younger, my thought now is that
the general idea for all the young people
doing the things that only adults should
really be doing, the smoking/drinking
(because these things are bad for the body)
is because 1. they see adults doing it,
adults who are treated equally (most of the
time), respected and sometimes slightly
feared. and 2. kids arent treated equal to
adults, or respected half the time.
monkey see, monkey do.
walk like an adult, talk like an adult, do as
an adult does.
... get respect? equality? clearly not.
The problem lies with these certain kids not
being taught that adult hood is an earned
right and even then, it's only a minimally
good thing.
rant over... unless my mind wanders in which
case i'll be back 
still not off topic i hope.. |

Yes you're right  Baby, the real answer
is yes and no because there are alot of kids
maturing quicker, better saying faster but
mainly because of the fact of "knowledge
Absortion"
Nowadays the parents at difference with ages
ago, have so much more access to knowledge
and information about everything, and mostly
subjects about human be, life and existence,
as same as maths, numbers, etc... actually is
easier for people to have a carreer and this
cause that so much more people compared to
ages ago, have more information and
knowledge, college students have to learn so
much more information actually than students
20 years ago...
...(just for a sample, actually students have
to learn about "human genome")...
so this cause that the students throughout
the times, have to do more effort in the
brain to understand and "absorb" MORE
knowledge in LESS time...
this causes most effort on brains work and of
course this make as a result a QUICKER mind
(talking about speed to think)
Is not unknown that all of this "habilities"
(let's call them this way) to make brain
become faster and think quicker, it results
into hereditary for the childrens.
now, this is just ONE of the answers.
the other answers in case you do mention
about kids that comes from parents whom
didn't received studies...
the reason why some of those kids mature
quicker too is because of the same reason,
not for heritable knowledge, but in this case
the background or the enviroment and actual
world plays a REALLY VERY important job...
the life is living faster actually,
lifestyles, lifeminds, cultures, society and
of course the MOST important fact of all...
--- TELEVISION ---
Yes, television... this is one of the MOST
important cause of this faster or quicker
maturity state on kids, because the things on
Tv actually is make it for faster minds, want
a sample???...
POKÉMON...
Pokémon, yeah this may bring you some
memories ^_^' but this anime went really so
popular on japan because of the colours, the
characters, and of course, the SPEED of the
effects of the images... if you remember
about some years ago I on 1998 (But I bet am
I wrong and was before or later)... there was
a big trouble with MANY childrens that went
sick, with some Epilepsy's symtons, vomits
and other more, because in the part of the
movie/chapter those kids were watching
PIKACHU (Main character of the series) in
one of the attacks made it, it have thrown
more than 50 rays per second in a too long
amount of time, this caused that the brain of
the kid went into a shock for several
minutes, and for obvious reasons the owners
of the series have to edit the chapter/movie
for countries of America and Europe.
And it's simillar with series like Dragon
Ball where the movements of the characters
are really so faster, (between 3 and 9 hits
per seconds) but the frames for the rays on
techniques were higher than 60 rays per
second.
What I want to say with all of this samples
(in conclusion of mypoint of view ^_^) is
that all of this about maturity on kid is
becuase of somethign called...
*** EVOLUTION ***
Lol yeah... the mind of the kids is quicker
and faster becuase all of them evolutionates
with the time, and like lifes is living sooo
faster well... the brains and mind have to be
more "Suitable" to the speed the world is
living actually 
If world is runnign faster then 10 or 20
years ago the human needfully have to change
so this cause the mind of kids could be the
first to have a VERY noticeable change and
thisis reflected on the fact kids wants to
live the same way teens and teens the way
adults lives
That's cause the fact that some stages of the
human cicle turns "burned" for calling it by
some way... like mind is evolutionating
fastly the kids turns mature quickly too.
And of course like some people had also said
before it also includes the fact of
bacground, enviroment, and people living
around the kid, the quicker way the kids mind
have evolutionated when birth influences alot
in the way the kid will see the life and
things that happends around of him/her and
how fastly wants to live and the way can take
or use to face the situations on life
*+ God, This was an Essay ^_^' +*
phew! hard job to write all this stuff ^_^' |

I understand your post Kike, but each point
you have made there is not so much fact but a
variable state. Teenagers in general cannot
neccessarily be regarded as thinking more
quickly and therefore being more mature. Not
quite true. Nurture, environment, awareness
and responsibility are bigger factors rather
than academic intelligence. |

Many teens (and some adults) know all their
'rights' and 'freedoms' - yet some cannot
grasp the concept that 'freedom' is
meaningless without responsibility. |
