Every day we meet different kinds of people, whether in the street or at work. We meet new friends aside from our old ones and interact with them mostly through conversation. Sometimes we find some people that are rather more mature than they look, while others are quite the opposite. So i don't think maturity can be measured by age.. maybe experience or the environment a person grew up in.. what do you think?

I don't think it can be measure using the age too.. MAybe life experiences and the people and environment surrounding the person.. The media he or she is exposed to is a big factor too.. It just depends on the person capabilities..some are late bloomers.

Yes, experience is number one factor on how a person acts or dispense opinion/ideas in a more mature way. If a person experienced problems and dealt with them in their early age, we can say they are matured already in their own way. I guess persons who are late bloomers don't treat the situation seriously not like the others.

Yes, there are some who matures at an early age, maybe because of the experiences and challenges they met in their life. The test that make them tough to face life's problems. But there are also people that we can say are old enough to have learned the facts of life, have fully grown but can not be considered mature enough to take responsibility. So , I guess it also depends on every person, on how he/she absorbs their experiences and applied it to their everyday living.

yes...I think maturity is not with regards to age, because there are people who are old enough and yet, they can't still handle life's greatest challenges because they are not that matured enough. Experiences in life, I think makes us matured enough to handle life's challenges...

Yes my friend. experience is the number one factor that makes a man to be more mature with regards to his thinking and decision making. Experiences in life helps a man to be more tough in facing life challenges and how to handle situations.

The maturity of a person can be measured by the experiences he had gone through and by the people surrounding him. I mean, when I was in high School, I thought that I was thinking more maturely than others because it was how I was treated by my parents at home. All though we had several helpers at home, still at an early age, my parents obliged me and my siblings to be independent and responsible. So, I think that has contributed to me being mature at a young age.

Yes, people around us or the people we mingle with could also be a factor on how a person matures. Our parents also contributes on how we could be a responsible and respected person. The rearing they gave us, up to the time we became mature enough on our disposition and became a responsible individual.
I think that life experiences matters more too, for a person to be more mature in everything.

For me I know I matured when I become a mother. For then on, I learned to be more responsible especially in my own family. I learn to wake up early to prepare our breakfast, prepare lunch and dinner. And having my own family I always think that in everything Family must comes first than myself, means they're my first priority rather than myself and others. In decision making I am much cautious now. and always listen to my partner before deciding. But then maturity is a continues process. everyday we have still many process to learn in life.

Yeah, most people's maturity depends on how he/she handles responsibility and good disposition/control regarding a situation. And this can be gain through our experiences in our everyday undertakings. We learned from this experiences of ours especially to better understand a situation and how to manage and provide solution especially to a problem.

In my opinion maturity is measured by how you take a compliment and give it. Is it how you react in the face of glory and hostility. maturity is for instance making the right decision while thinking of your loved ones and not of your self.
Happy mylotting!

Yes, the way one reacts to a situation in a more controlled manner and how a person gives his/her opinion about a subject of discussion. Giving advises to a situation with out favoring either side. Through our experiences in life we can say that we are matured enough to give our opinion or guidance to a given situation.

Well it depends on the person I don't judge a person maturity through his age.
I encounter lots of people that are with age but still immature in there sense.
I know girls get more mature early than men and I do experienced it in some
aspects. Maybe that's true because of experienced we got mature, I got matured
in a very young age because I have a family at early and being a mom needs to be more mature to give guidance to our kids.

Yes your right, I think one of the reasons why a person matures early is, because of his/her experiences in their lives.. As you have said, you are one of those who have gain their maturity at an early age,and that is because you have experienced many things early in your life. It serves as your training on how to deal with the ups and downs of living. But there are also some even if they have experienced many things in the past but still their disposition and reasoning can not be considered at par with other individuals.

I don't know my friend, do you mean you picked or choose the people you are to interact with. You will only talk to the person if you would gain something from him/her.
Maturity for me, could be gain through life's experiences . But there are also individuals who matures at an early age by being responsible and gauging their reasoning ability.
Through experiences a person became strong in his/her decision making.
