trouble accepting my age

I've got trouble accepting my age (as you can tell by the threads I've made already). What can I do about it?
I keep thinking about ways to get myself to be like 14,15 again. I know it's impossible, but still...My dad keeps saying things like "This bitch is not my daughter anymore". Makes it even harder for me!!

So advice, please.

i don't really know what you're like irl or anything, but you seem to make alot of threads about your health on here and everything. it just seems to me, im not trying to be harsh, but for your own good, maybe you should stop running over everything in your head so much and actually DO more things instead of asking people on a messege board if they think there is antyhing wrong with you, if theyve been through the same thing etc. at the end of the day its you, if you are worried there is something wrong, book an appointment at the dr. go and speak to somebody, they will be able to help you! people giving their experience might comfort you but it's not gonna help you if their is a problem realistically is it?

another important thing, just make sure you're eating, sleeping and exercising cause if you do so maybe you won't feel so bad alot of the time! you should go and read some books or do art or whatever other activitys you enjoy, or post in other topics which take your mind of all of this, sorry this is crap, its not meant to be harsh its just an observation and i don't think posting loads and loads of threads on kr is gonna help you, i think you just need to do stuff to take your mind off it!

bla crap advice

i dont really think about it to be honest. there's not really much point in going over and thinking about it alot is there? haha if you think about it rationally, it doesnt really matter what you feel about it, there is nothing you can do to make yourself 15 again so you might aswell get over it and and enjoy being 20. get on with your life instead of sitting around thinking about how you could be like this or that when its impossible for you to be 15 again.
do you know what i mean? you should just try and make the most of what you've got and get on with things like i said before instead of worrying so much! do things to take your mind off it!

i don't really think about it. if i did, id probably think i'm not mature enough. i remember when i was little and i thought i'd have it all worked out when i was 20 & ancient.

ahah. i'm in my 20s and i look about 14 and have an immature sense of a humor around my friends from jr high and high school. we all get together and play card games and watch standup comics and have sleep overs and i swear we're all at that age where kissing is gross since half the group is male and none of us are interested in anything like that. sometimes i think we're just retarded. we have our boyfriends and girlfriends and jobs and its really like a double life.

same here. I forget I'm only 16 years old. Most of my friends are 20ish. I find most people my age to be idiotic dumb fucking walking peicing of materialist fucking asshole. It's kinda rare for me to like people my age.

Im 20 and I always though I would have a more mature outlook on life at this age. Then I met my coworker who became my good friend, who's sense of humour and lack of certain experiences put him at age 11 maturity. He turned 30 last year.

Getting mature with age is not a conscious thing, you dont think "gee, I'm another year older, better kick up my maturity level again!" you are who you are and act how you act. I pretty much still act 14 on a daily basis and miss being a kid, but in a way it doesnt have to end. Not until i turn like, 34 or something.

Just take everything in stride and have fun while you can.

So am I and I sometimes have those "I miss my teen years" yearnings. It really isnt so bad, wait until 30, apparently its the new "adult" milestone...

"growing up" is a concept related to eugenics

I sort of feel too young. I dunno. I'm 18, and all of my friends bar one are at least a year older than me. I guess that means that sometimes I see the age gap widen to a point where I feel really niave and everything. It doesnt bother me too massively. Just distract yrself. Play guitar or go for a bike ride or something. Don't get too self-analytical or you'll drive yourself into the ground. Speaking from experience.

I also often have trouble accepting the fact that I'm getting older too, and I'm only 16. I like my life at this time, but I can't help but wish I were experiencing it at age 13/14. I haven't really matured since then in terms of intellect and personallity, so when I was younger people would always remark on how "mature" I was for my age. 13 doesn't seem that long ago, and it's scary how quickly the three years have gone by. I sometimes fear that life will pass me by at this rate. There are physical complications too. Apparantly I look more like a 30 year old than a girl. I hate invisioning myself when I actually am 30, even early to mid 20's.

My advise is to consider the people around you, your friends and colleagues etc, and observe that they are in your age bracket but are content and happy. Perhaps talk to them about plans for the future. There are probably people around you who would hate to be a teenager again. Most of the adults I know often discuss how they don't miss their high school years at all, with comments like "wouldn't you hate to be that age again", "such a complicated time, isn't it?", etc.

You probaly have an over-active mind if an issue like this bothers you. Make sure you're keeping productive and getting enough sleep. Go out with your friends more, fill your life with the things you love and don't dwell on the past. Think of this time (as well as the rest of your life) as an opperunity to do all the things you could never do as a teenager - buy drink, drive a stickshift, whatever floats your boat.
