Is there anything about you that makes you a lot different from others your age?

[Corduroy]

well, i'm a middle schooler (12, soon to be 13) and..

- i can't stand the radio these days. i also like the beatles.
- i have a disorder (Sensory Processing Disorder .. google it), and part of this disorder is that i can't eat a lot of food. on an average day, all i really can eat for breakfast lunch and dinner is well, mac and cheese. it doesn't affect me as much anymore because i've gotten used to it, but most kids my age can't comprehend this fact for some strange reason. when you have been doing the same thing since birth, it simply doesn't stand out to you as much.. if you know what i mean?
- i don't think that being in 6th grade and "dating" is cool. i mean, you don't have a car. where are you going to go for your 1 week anniversary? chuckee cheeses?

ok, this is turning into a rant more than anything. i'll stop now XD

No offense to anyone that does these things, I just personally don't I'm thirteen, I have no interest in getting married, I hate when school ends (even though I dislike school), I deactivated my facebook, I don't wear or own any makeup or paint my nails, I like doing the dishes- It clears my mind cx, I like paperback books instead of hardcover, I like to match my socks instead of mix matching, I dislike 97% of cartoon shows, I dislike songs on the radio/top charts-I'll listen to them like 3-4 times and then automatically get sick of it. This is getting too long, so I'll stop. cx ​

Wise kid....
Dating in middle school doesn't mean anything, but that was pretty funny.


I know more about world events than most of my friends, but I enjoy geography and learning about other cultures, so I try to keep up to date.

In high school, I used to think that I was different from most of my peers. But as I got older, I realized that I have a lot more in common with certain people who share don't appear to share the same interests as me from first impressions. I don't mind others liking mainstream stuff, as long as they're willing to open their minds outside the box too. Sometimes the people who are only into indie media can be pretty narrow-minded too.

 

[Mixxi]

This is a really interesting thread ^_^.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm 22 and I own a house and have 2 cats, a dog and a bearded dragon. Most people my age, in the UK, are either living with their parents, renting a flat or in shared accommodation. I'm just very lucky! Also I teach social skills as a subject to children/teenagers with special educational needs. I don't know anyone else my age who does that, I suppose.

My virginity.

Most 13 year olds these days are off having s3x or doing drugs.

That's right, what you have just read has made you lose all hope in future generation.
I know, i know. Awful isn't it?

 

[Leanne]

I don't like to be pretentious and start saying "oh I'm so different than people around here!", but I guess a couple of things are different than the rest, and I'm sure most people have their own qualities or attributes that are different in one way or another.

If I had to pick some, I'd say that my taste for music is different than most people my age. Most people my age will probably go listen to Justin Bieber, Rehanna (SP?), Lady GaGa... I acquired my family's musical taste and then my brother's taste for heavy metal. It's not like I don't listen to mainstream pop because I hate it or find it awful (like many people who "defend" their tastes will do), but I really just don't enjoy them at all. What I love about classical and baroque music is that it triggers my imagination and makes me do wild things. I have never found that feeling in any other type of music before. I don't listen to music that doesn't make me feel anything because I think it's boring. Buuut to each its own.

Another thing is I love reading and writing. Most people my age around here will jump out a window before reading a book.

You'd be surprised, but that depends on where you live. Western countries trigger the alarms at the idea of sex, and because of that most countries have high ages of consent. But other countries have different laws and point of view with such things. The age of consent is 13 in many asian countries, as long as the involved parties don't have a tremendous age difference I think. In those countries I imagine it's perfectly normal and not "morally incorrect" to lose your virginity at that age. It really depends where you live and the social context there is towards the topic of sex ^^.

Well I have a very good imagination and I am a bit mature for my age, but hey im guessing a lot of people are getting mature nowadays, especially younger people.

 

[Ponycorpse]

I guess I dress differently to a lot of people my age. I think I dress more formally! So for instance, I never wear jeans or trousers always skirts and dresses. I've also been told by many people my age that the way I phrase myself is a lot more mature than they do. uou; People generally tell me I'm 18 going on 30!

 

[$$$$moneymoney$$$$]

I'm 12

all the music I listen to, my friends think it's weird :/
I wear mori kei fashion to school (at least I try to)
i still have one of those old flip phones... from my mom... yeah they're cheap >>
play viola (but i'm not that good at it)
i don't get along with people at all... everyone either thinks i'm weird or they're mean

I don't like to wear jeans or trousers either; it's skirts, dresses, and hot pants for me. I didn't even own any until about three weeks ago. A woman at my volunteer job made a jab at me for how I dress, and I think maybe she thinks I'm not dressing appropriately (I work with young kids) so I bought a pair of jeans.

What really separates me from other people is the lack of care of what people think of me. In general, people tell me I'm different, but not in a bad way, and they find something about me different than most people. I learned to not care what people's opinions of me are. I still do care about the opinions of family members and really close friends, but aside from that, I just be myself no matter what. It works great, and from what I see, other people that do the same are some of the happiest people I know!

Everything sets me apart from my peers locally. I'm fat, I have blue eyes, I'm pretty creative (and by that I mean wacky and goofy), I'm incredibly intelligent, and I'm strong as anything.
Compared to the kids at my school, my intelligence doesn't get a chance to shine as much (since I go to a private school for the "elite," though you could have fooled me). My strength does set me apart, as I can bench press (inb4 do you even lift) 150 lbs, and push twice that with my legs.
I'm also incredibly shy in person, and I tend to recall facts that I read from more than a decade ago.

 

[oath2order]

Most people my age in my area have no idea what's going on in the world.

My area is the suburbs around D.C. >.>

The majority of the posts in this thread I've read and automatically thought, "This isn't really unique at all." But this really is unique.
