grow up? Im confused. (I'm actually an adult). I was in my friends house one day and i overheard her telling her boy to grow up and learn. I didn't ask her anything, then a few weeks later we went to a restaurant and i asked her " I rememer the kids my age were immature so do you think kids should start maturing(mentally) at a young age?" She then replied kids should be kids/:(?) I... don't understand. I was never told to grow up because i was mature when i was younger but this lady is complaining and then giving an excuse like this. Why? And its not just her I decided to do a survey and most people would let kids be kids? Do YOU THINK THEY SHOULD MATURE EARLIER MENTALLY(ie no immature pranks, taking school seriously e.t.c?)
