Teenagers are children as far as I'm concerned, they still demand an allowance, yell and cry over trivial things, post drama stories on forums hoping to garner attention and feel like someone cares about them when really all they have to do is just suck it up, take life in stride and what's that? Puberty hit and now you are beginning to have rational thought? HALLE FRICKIN LUJAH!

I have no sympathy for stories like these where the guy would rather get advice from complete strangers rather than dealing with it directly and in person. Grow a pair, deal with it and live on with your life for god's sake.

Do you have nuts? Honestly? Then grab them, see if you are missing one or both or even all 3 and suddenly realize 'oh hey..I'm a dude, time to start acting like it and not be a crying mess of lady parts on the floor.'

I already knew what I was going to do and how I was going to do everything before I even posted this thread. I just did so to see what people would say. Is that wrong?

Yes. We call that "attention whoring". Why post some really long crap and ask people a question regarding what to do when you already knew what you were going to do? Sounds like a pity party I won't be going to.

It was a social experiment.

Yes. You should be ashamed. I recommend getting poster board that say "Sorry, My Bad!" and stand outside your high school all day tomorrow waving it. That'll learn ya youngin.

Then again, when you remember Moses as "Pharoah's little punk kid who keeps walking across my lawn," everyone's a child to me.

Nah, you are a child until you are 26. You don't realize it until you are about 30, but that is the way it is. The insurance companies have known it for years. That's why they don't give you that discount till 25.

Believe me, people don't grow up till their late 20's. That act like children for a lot longer than 12 years...

It's kind of funny. You spend so long trying to be all growed up, and then when you finally get there FOR REALS, you try so hard to pretend the opposite.

I just try hard to remember what day it is, or more properly where the hell am I?

Quick question, have you ever heard the song "Get Off My Lawn" by Stuttering John? I think you would like it.

I like you. I like your avatar. I find you hilarious. But you are laughing at yourself.

Plus This: (Quoted from Karon)

All of his posts are in Introductions, Video Games, and Off-Topic. He has nothing to do with wargaming.

His first thread was "I come to troll" which contained...

Your evil overlord, NoBaconz4You (Sacred Flea on Bungie.net) invited me to rip this place a new one with raunchy remarks and threads about crossdressing. So brace yourselves.

He is a child that is best ignored until he slips up and gets banned.

Has caused me to think this:

Exactly. Look at the posting history. Enough said. We don't need further crap diluting the noise to signal ratio.

Yeah I figured as much since the beginning of this thread but sometimes it's fun to play along but it just too hard to bother.

Oh dear god, not more of this crap. When did DAKKAs OffTopic become the self help section? I agree, from what Ive seen of the crap youve posted lately, you need a bit of growing up to do, and so does your friend. Other then that, can we keep this crap out of DAKKA please?

Not to be mean, but "adults" generally don't "go to live with their biological mom." They go to their own house.

Also, when you need to point out which boyfriend a person has sex with, they're not really that adult. I mean, it's not always true, but most adults have sex with anybody they're in a relationship with.

You can quibble about what a child is, but few people are emotionally fully mature in their teens. Dont' get me wrong, you think you are. God knows I did.

This is right a lot of the time.

This is indeed closer to the truth.
So close to the truth to be indistinguishable from it!
Bugger it, it is the truth.

Well, circumstances will always affect maturity. I know people much younger than myself with children, and a mortgage, and who are five years into a career. they're far more mature than I am.

A guy that's 20, in hte marines, and has a wife and kids is pretty much an adult (or shoudl be), while a 27 year old grad student probably isn't.

I mostly agree with that. I think its a little more situational, for example I know Ive been an "adult" for more then this year (being 26) but yea I would say I was nan"adult" more like 20-22 some where in there. But I also have children and own a house, so again my situation made me more adult then say one that has no responsibilities

I'm definitely in agreeance with this one (and I don't care if it's not a "real" word, I like it!).

One sign of mature thinking is deferred gratification.
Also realising you ain't the centre of anyone elses' universe.

Chalk it up to experience and move on, nothing good comes from dwelling on the past.

@ Cannerus_The_Unbearable, Chibi Bodge-Battle, Polonius: Just spreading the Truth!

She sounds like a total wackjob and someone that you really do not need in your life. She sounds like one of those people who constantly plays the victim, doesn't know what they want out of life or where they are going, someone who is a drama queen. Trust me, you don't need that.

But this is OT. As time approaches infinity, the SNR is constantly trending toward zero. I'm still convinced the only reason they keep it around is to keep all the sludge from leaking out into the useful section of the forum.
Far as the kid being a complete non-contributing troll, I have no doubts. But that's just me.

Man, that really freaked me out when I first realized it. Nothing like the new guy at work being 5 years younger than you and having kids old enough to walk and talk.

OMG SOMEONE QUOTED ME I'M SO HAPPY

Yeah, under eighteen is a child, over eighteen is an adult.

I don't take you, or your story seriously, Samus, because you're just a troll, a very bad one at that.

You are definitely 16 or under, so this whole story is bs.

You are wasting your time on Dakka, most of us on here are trolls in ourselves, and we spend most of the time in the off-topic boards trolling eachother.

Actually, now I'm picturing him as a late 20s/early 30s 300 pound neckbeard living in his parents basement*. I'm not sure which one is worse.




*No offense to any pre-existing member of Dakka who might happen to fit the above description.

Yeah, under eighteen is a child, over eighteen is an adult.

This is dictated only by the society in which you live. Hundreds of years ago 16 was considered adulthood.

You turn into an adult when you yourself mature, not when society dictates.
