Wow guys.... wow.
I have a post that I should refer you to in the Standoff forum - it's copied below. It's in reference to someone suprised I was 16 (17 in 2 days):
"Yea - I think a lot of people have that impression. First of all - I write music. Not many people my age write music - and if they do, it's usually like - rock band stuff. And not to put it down, but usually kid rockband's think about how it sounds, and not the actual notes and in the composition - songwriting vs. composing.... that sorta stuff. Secondly, I act my age. Lots of 16 year olds act like 7 year olds. I won't say I'm mature for my age - I just am my age unlike lots of people around me."
Age really doesn't have anything to do with anything, in my opinion. In terms of abilities, or maturity, or anything - it's specific to the person. I find it somewhat rude when people discriminate based on age - cause basically, that's what was going on. Give us all a chance, and I think you'll find there's more mature ones out there than you realize. We may not be the norm, but there are quite a few of us.
Also, one time someone told me that fighting over who's more mature shows only your immaturity. I dunno... it was a good lesson for me, so I figured I'd share it.
