not sure it's turning into my parents
but I remember being 6, starting primary school, and thinking that the 12 year olds were very old indeed. Then I got into my first year of highschool (aged thirteen), and thought the people who were 17 and 18 were terribly old.

Now I'm 17, and feeling like I fit in better on here with people who I can have a coherent discussion with, rather then the people my own age. The girls at my school are, quite frankly, tarts with absolutely no idea of the outside world, and are so wrapped up in their own lame lives they don't notice anything going on around them. The boys well... lets just say it's a fairly rough crowd here.

I shake my head when I see girls walking down the street in singlets and tiny shorts and thongs (mostly unattractive in the first place) in the middle of winter, wondering why they would do this in the first place.
I watch the boys getting so drunk all they want to do is fight each other.

Also - I tut and sigh.
a lot.

Never mind,
In a few years you'll reach the Magic Tipping Point in life, and everyone will start looking younger, and younger.

Tutting and sighing? It's no worse than binge drinking.

In the words of Jesus, "Don't worry"

Don't worry, you're not alone.
I'm 18 and I feel exactly the same way.

I've always gotten along better with people older than me, and at the moment I absolutely despair of most others my age as they seem to be complete and utter idiots. From what you say, teenagers seem to follow the same stereotypes on both sides of the world.

I haven't reached the tutting and sighing stage though...yet.

I've been sighing for years.
and I get the occasional urge to facepalm when I see some things.

I'm a twenty one year old who just wishes everyone could be *sensible*

Sigh...
