Yeah, I don't know how that went from "age doesn't predict your abilities precisely" to "Don't be average! Always strive for improvment!"

[Karkov]

Yeah, I don't know how that went from "age doesn't predict your abilities precisely" to "Don't be average! Always strive for improvment!"

I think that was mainly me, and I swear most of it was my jacket brainwashing me.

[BlackFlyme]

I know it started with a five year old with a learning disability having better life skills than me.

[IronTomato]

Also, to all the people going "I interpret that as meaning you're fine with average, so strive to be good!"

I already do, and I've just had the worst school year of my life where I actually strove for most of the year, and often achieved the goals I set, but still had people screaming that same demand into my face, no matter how many extra things I did, so no more of that, if possible.

Sorry, had to get it out.

[Frumple]

Yeah, naw. Meet the minimum, and then enjoy yourself doing whatever extra you might do. Base performance, then pleasure. Leave perfection or exceptional performance out of it. Much happier, you will be, and I almost absolutely guarantee you performance will increase anyway -- it usually does if you're unworried and having a little fun.

Wolfeyez found gummi bears that I can eat! This is the first time I've ever had them without a weird mustardy taste. Albanese gummi bears are apparently the best thing ever.

Age is just a number. What matters is what you do with it ;3

It's also a fairly reliable gauge of your general physical and mental faculties.

Ahaha. Ahaha....

Not really. If that were true, I likely wouldn't be able to write using proper English like I do, because I'm 15, and most American 15-year olds can't. And I'll tell you what, it bothers the crap out of me that they can't.
So yeah. No assumptions about people based on age. Especially not on here, where I can see. It's bad, mkay.

Ok. I challenge you to find a three-month-year old with the mental and physical development of a average 21-year-old.
Or a three year old.
Or a thirteen year old.

With human nature there's always outliers, but it does indeed function as a gauge of development.

.... There's also the fact that being 15 and being able to write and use proper English isn't anything special. It's how things SHOULD be. You shouldn't be comparing yourself to people far below acceptable standards.

What Janet said o-o

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I was eleven (or thirteen? Somewhere along that line), people said I had the EQ and behavioral standards of a 20 year old. Or someone extremely mature that they would mistake me for such (if it were not for the young face and all dat ._.)...online, however, that was mistaken a lot, in a good way anyways.

So yeah, challenge accepted, and cleared. Though I've a point that it has a basis on standards, with the usual standards being that of ideal foundation.

Edit: Blargh lacking edit when rushing.

You also like piling, but that doesn't make it appropriate.

eep :X
That was supposed to be in a spoiler as an answer to him. Sorry for that :c

True, true. Not quite at the same time. Pretty sure that's illegal.

[Shinotsa]

Oh hey, this place is still here. Hi everyone. Long time no see. Seems we're arguing about... something or other. Regardless, it is a joy to see old names again! Especially doing exactly what they always have!

I'd respond in kind, but I'm just too content to roar. Maybe later!
