if you don't do it in your teens are you destined to act it out in adulthood?

Hmmmm, I know a bunch of high chair tyrants who are well into adulthood chronilogically, but damn, if I don't think I'm talking to a little kid.  I think they get stuck in the place where they missed out, and never fully develop.  It's sort of like scar tissue that builds up to close in the open wound.  You may be able to cover up the hole, but the mark remains.  If someone disrupts the scab, it can break open again -- hence, a person can compensate for the loss, but methinks he will be reminded of that hole in his world for a very, very long time - perhaps to the point where he goes back and looks at his life map, and figures out where he left himself/got lost.

love is all about taking risks if you aren't ready and willing to put yourself out there you will never be successful and yeah you might get rejected but at least you tried. my motto is i don't regret the things i have done only the things i never tried. if you never try you will never know. and FYI listening to your Friends on dating advice usually isn't the most reliable source especially if you are 15. follow your heart it is your best resource

Yes - and unlike many others, I wouldn't change things, or be born with all the knowledge I have already.  May be boring, but life is about learning, and we learn my making mistakes.  Take my 1 year old twins for example.  They are learning to stand on their own.  Should I hold them constantly, always afraid their hurt their tush if they fall?  Nope, they would never learn to stand on their own if I did that.  Yes, they fall and hurt themselves (or their pride) and cry, but then they get cuddled and praised for their efforts and they try again.  Same with life.  Gotta take the good with the bad, gotta learn all you can, even if that means learning from your mistakes and passing on your knowledge to the next generation.  Life is what you make of it, not what's handed to you.

I probably felt like I was an adult when I moved out of my 'rents house at 19. I'm 28 now and still don't feel much like an "adult".

You will notice when people grow up they do not do this so much...

Actually, that is not a stupid question at all.  People are always saying "be yourself," without specifying how you will know what that feels like.  It's not easy, actually, because we are influenced by so many outside forces that it is hard to know when your behavior comes from your own choices and when it comes from peer pressure, etc.  The best I can say is that as you grow older, you will detect a certain consistency in how you behave when you are in a comfortable setting, when you do not feel any pressure to be artificial.  It would be easy if "yourself" was who you were when you were alone.  But of course, you do naturally and appropriately behave differently around other people than when you are alone.  \n\nWhat can I say?  Relax!

Yes, of course. I am willing to wait until I get married. A lot of my friends have lost their virginity two years ago or when we were 14/15/16 and they definitely regretted it. I told them not to but they didn't listen. But I guess it's just that most teenagers just do it to express themselves or release anger/frustration/sadness/whatever and they don't care what they are doing anymore.

Yes, i did when i was about 5-6 years younger. That taught me to take chances for you have nothing really to loose and to show people i like or love that i do.\nPeople often are afraid to take rom. risks and to say what they really want, to show their feelings  because they don't want to look stupid or loose that person.\nSamantha in "sex and the city" liked to say "would,could should"....:")

Hormones for one, and the natural process of becoming independent for another, which requires asserting independence. Rebelling is really nothing more than that - asserting independence. The unfortunate thing is that we don't realize how much we DON'T know until we get a little older. Another unfortunate thing is that this natural process can become VERY ugly if the teen has a lot of built up anger over past issues. We say that children are resilient, but what they are doing is bottling it up, and it WILL come out eventually. But, even perfectly healthy teens will rebel in some ways.

At 18, you can act on your own by entering into contracts with others to establish a business.  You can also marry and be emancipated from your parents.

Oh sweetie..be careful of the responds you re gonna receive..with a question like that,you are a prime target for all the sick mo-fo of the world..my advice is just do it in you re room..or act out for friends and family and when you are old enough with maturity..go out in the world and spread your wings..there are lots of acting schools and other alternatives when you get to where ever you choose to be then..for now..concentrate and practice in the safety of your friends and family.

Don't set limits by your age. Do what you want to do when you are ready to do it and not a moment earlier.

yep its called being a teenager... we make mistakes, we do stupid things... but at the end of the day it is the individuals choice whether to do it. peer pressure can be a toughy but it's something ppl have to learn to rise above

Are you sure that's what you want to do?  Don't grow up too fast cuz it's too late to turn back afterwards
