Oh, another stereotype slave? Because half of these people follow it? And you also seem to believe it, although you admit it's a stereotype. Interesting. I'll follow the other half, thank you. You don't need a stellar education to be mature, by the way.
Plenty of children are mature. I'm not saying that it's all correct. I'm saying you shouldn't state your age right away, since people follow the stereotype. It leads people on to just blocking out the person. I'm not a "slave" either. I'm just saying that you shouldn't just exclaim you are 12, otherwise you might get hate from the people who think the stereotypes are true.

It probably has something to do with 12 being the age right before (male) adolescents (males make up a majority of the gaming community), and that being said, after that point the body and mind matures. Sure, you can will yourself to be immature, and 12 yr olds can will themselves to be mature, but the fact of the matter remains: most boys 12 and under have the somewhat higher tendency to be more immature than post-adolescents.

"Kids always think they're smarter than adults, until they grow up and they realize life is harder as adults."
I suppose you could be mature in some ways...but in all honesty...you're brain still isn't fully developed. You've yet to reach maturity, both mentally and biologically.
Course...I guess it all really depends on how you DEFINE maturity.
I agree that quite a big percentage of kids act idiotic on the internet, but I don't know why people think it only applies mostly to kids at the ages of twelve or thirteen.
In my own opinion, I don't care if anyone argues with me, but I think the main trollers and spammers of all forums on the internet are around the ages of ten or eleven.
I am thirteen, and I don't mess around with forums.
No one should be demanding respect, it has to be earned, at all ages.

Nope. Even though there are the occasional stupid young trolls (JoshU2Uber, Jared Milton, ericDouglace) most of them are older. The art of trolling takes time, my friend.

There is no such thing as a mature 12 year old, well on the internet anyway
Your post doesn't change anything. You just stated your opinion with nothing to back it up with.
I've used the internet since I was eight. I have been on excactly fourty-nine forums. I can name them all if you would like me to, but that is not relevant in this thread.
You will get trolled at, annoyed, and getting sterotyped if you reveal enough information about yourself.
A was on a forum, I won't say the name of this forum. A kid the same age as me (which, at the time was twelve), introduced himself. He was not trolling, he was not spamming, and his grammar did not have any mistakes at all. When he told other posters his age he immediately got some negative comments.

There are some of them, by the way I can assure you that I have a few hundred posts in most of them. I am also a forum reviewer.
Are you satisfied yet, or must I continue?
Noooo waaaay. You were a member on freeforums sites and got a couple thousand posts!?!? By golly, that seals the deal, you are mature!
Seriously, stop giving a **** about whether the internet thinks your mature or not, and just use the site. You're not going to convince us you're mature by giving us reasons why you're different than all the other morons, you're going to convince us you're mature through your actions when you're not trying to convince us.
What Govna said. And it's important to realize that when you're a few years older you'll think your 12-year-old self was a complete moronic dolt. People just need to feel superior to people younger than them, even though people are just people and they mature at different rates. Now that you've disclosed to everyone that you're 12, just make a positive contribution to the forum and nobody will look down on you for your age.

Key word is "man"
Most people wouldn't try and communicate with a 12 year old, or someone under that age. Unless they are trolling.
Ren and Stimpy is awesome.
Every man should be PROUD to watch it.
You asked for it.
