Well, I'm 13 turning 14 in two months. I'd like to say I think I'm mature for my age, and that's what I think most other 12, 13 and 14-year-olds have put, but thinking about it I'd describe myself as more sensible than mature - as in, I can make mature decisions and generally be sensible around people, but when it comes to the adult world I'm pretty clueless. Aaanyway...
Pros:
- At an age just low enough that your parents sometimes buy you stuff on non-birthday/Christmas days.
- Pretty much
just at the age when you have access to everything and don't have to just lie about your age.
- You have an easy way to meet people and interact with them - I'm not very social, so this is good. I'd imagine the workplace would be like this in some ways as well.
- You have quite a lot of free time, particularly at the holidays - ample for video games and YouTube videos.
Cons:
- At an age just low enough that you don't really get any money.
- Pretty much the age when people mistake you for more immature players, although I'll admit this doesn't happen much to me - I don't reveal my age on servers, and people I meet on forums are not discriminating. Although I can understand why older people are like this:
- Many,
many people my age in my school are immature or are, as we call them in England, 'chavs'. Watch this video:

- You have a discernible bedtime.
And that's about it.
