Age.

[Drake Magestrail]

The age you are is the age you act. Happy, sad, playful, nostalgic, depressed, dreading, thrilled, energetic, teasing--these things do not define age, but character. Personality. How these emotions are expressed is what shows your age. Believe me, my jokes are a lot more sophisticated at age 20 than they were at 5, 10, or 15. Or, at least, I understand what all I'm implying with my own jokes now, and at 15 I reeeaally didn't. *sheltered much* When I fend off my little brother trying to attack me, I now know how to do it without accidentally poking him in the eye or shoving him against pointy objects. When I'm nostalgic, I have that many more years to look back on, and when excited I have that many more experiences to back up how fun I think something will be--it doesn't sadden you, knowing already how something will feel, it excites you more... because you know that you won't be disappointed, there's no risk of that.

My age is 20. I'm not as naive or afraid as I was even 6 months ago, before my last birthday, and certainly not like I was years ago. The only time I do not act my age--and actions are not thoughts, you understand--are those few times a year when PMS actually affects me (usually doesn't) or a migraine has reached to point of hysteria and hospitalization. Even then... I know that I'm acting irrationally, even as I do it. So is it still 'not acting my age'? Or is that exactly what is meant, and the command to act one's age is designed to shame you into it by making it obvious that everyone knows you're being rediculous?

Loooong response O.o

I don't know if i act my age...sometimes i act very mature, and other times i wish i was 4...but im turning 16 in a few days so im going to have to act older, i suppose.  

[XxParalyzing_silencexX]

i act older than my age.  

[Vexworth]

I'm turning seventeen in about a month or so.

I can be mature when I need to be.
But I'm still a candy chomping freak with hordes of stuffed animals. There's a difference between childlike and immature, and I think I know it pretty well.

I am 25 and I really mellowed out but I act 25 when Needed other wise I lose what sanity I don't have.

I'm 17 and sometimes I act like it. Mostly it ranges from little kid to adult. Weird but fun 3nodding  

[Lord Charlemain Richards]

I don't want to act my age.
People my age are all drunk or horny. That's boring.  

[Hunter of the Dammed]

well I am told I act three to four years older than normaly. I think it may be becuase of my cold heartedness. I really dont know, but I'm sixteen for me 18 is the true rite of passage

I act like a five year old almost all of the time (I'm 19). When I need to, like when I'm in class, or at dinner at a fancy resturant or something I act my age. I can be very responsible, I just enjoy acting like a kid when I get the chance. And most of my family thinks I'm just an immature brat who can't grow up, which pisses me off to know end. Half the time my own family isn't grown up enough to keep up with my type of conversations anyway, they always get some excuse to shut me up. Stupid people.
