I dunno, should I have had to pay more for my insurance when I was younger because I was male and single? Why didn't they care about my personality and responsibility? Best thing the OP can do is just take the time and prove that he's not the typical 13 yo. Will that take longer than the avg 18 yo? Yes. Is that fair? Life isn't fair, that's probably the best thing the OP can learn from this. Don't expect people to hand you anything in life, because they won't. (coming from someone 3x the age of the OP) | ||

This would take a while to do (for you to get good enough for this to happen), but if you really want it to be fair and such, just do what Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert did and Pokebunny did so it just does not matter your age at all. Edit: And by "not matter your age at all," I mean generally. It could matter for some things, but you can be an exception and such. | ||

Why didn't they care about my personality and responsibility? So playing a computer game = paying for insurance. Got it. If you read my posts I said that I realize why legal and financial issues matter, I just didn't see why everyone felt he was too immature and wanted to attack his personality (I don't see how maturity affects your Starcraft skill level). | ||

After running some fairly decent WoW guilds i can say that anyone still in school living at home can't really be trusted with keeping to times or staying online for set amounts of time. Also no 13-year old boy is mature, however well written you are on forums. | ||

Also, karpo sums it up pretty well, just because you're in masters league doesnt mean I'd see you any way different, you're still a kid along with the immaturity that comes with it (along with not thinking that you're immature at all!!1one) | ||

I'm a jelaous fuck whose life is drifting apart after entering early adulthood with no idea what to do, and not enough motivation to keep playing. My point is, if you just keep on playing, you will eventually be good. Ignore the troll above, and learn from my mistakes, I didn't find enough motivation after I was stuck at high masters, now I rarely play. Good luck, kids! | ||

Most people don't gain any true maturity until they've gotten real world experience, either after high school or college, when they have to support themeselves. I would say that there is a pretty hard line that defines mature or immature. it is; "if this kind had to fend for him/herself for a few months, would he or she have the necessary skills to find a job, keep up on basic responsibilities such as paying the bills, maintaining a healthy diet, being reliable at work and elsewhere, etc. If people are confident that you can do that, than you are mature. If not, you're immature. I would say that pretty much everyone under 16 couldn't do that, both because of character flaws, and because of the current laws and society. Those who can are the clear exception, not the rule. Furthermore, I would say that about half of my peers (i'm 20, most of my friends are 19-25) would not fall under that definition of mature, and I don't think that is very uncommon. immature people are obviously a huge liability for many reasons that have already been stated, and I know that all managers would treat immature people the same, whether they are 13 or 30. The only difference is that if you are younger, you are expected to be immature, which is normal, but that means you just have to work harder to prove otherwise. A mature person would be able to see this, and would understand why this is the case and act accordingly. You haven't read my post closely enough. Most of the issues about "real world experience" equate to legal boundaries, "basic responsibilities such as paying bills." More importantly though, my second point already directly addresses this: when you say "I would say that about half of my peers (i'm 20, most of my friends are 19-25) would not fall under that definition of mature" that is the exact issue, since people are blaming this immaturity arbitrarily on people under 18 when that identification of this specific age range as "immature" doesn't make any sense when it's just as applicable to 18, 19, and 20 year-olds - it's arbitrary to make that categorical claim on age, so an individualistic basis is the only reasonable one. | ||

Is it like when you go the movies when you're 14 and try and get a U12 ticket. "how old are you kid?", "12!", "ok". Was Pokebunny broadcasting his youth before he was a proven talent?? | ||

I don't know why people are unwilling to practise with you. It's probably a mix of prejudice and jealousy and a bit of humiliation sprinkled in. | ||
