When some boring bastard calls you immature it may piss you off a bit. Some people act like they are thirty when they are eighteen, you are only young once and you might as well enjoy it. Really, why would you want to act like an old fart before your time?
I knew a girl, Jana, who was constantly telling people to stop being immature and grow up. She was twenty-one and told one of her friends, Sasha, that she needed to start thinking about settling down. Sasha had other ideas, she traveled the world, went back to school and made the most of her twenties. Jana, on the other hand, married a total loser and had a kid at 22. Her husband became a heroin addict, she had to divorce him and became a single parent. Not exactly a sparkly fairytale for someone who thought she was more mature than her friends.

Definition of an immature person
Maturity is something that’s not solely measured by age. People of any age can be immature. Sometimes, a kid can be more mature than an adult. It’s really hard to tell by just looking, so immaturity is in how a person behaves.
An immature person is someone who acts in a childish or irresponsible manner. These people are often labeled as childish because of the way they behave. They fail or refuse to take personal responsibility for their actions, even if they are 60 years old!
Someone immature can act very differently or even opposite to their age. They may struggle to handle difficult situations or make good decisions. An immature person can be very impulsive without facing consequences.
Immaturity can also hinder maintaining healthy relationships. Immature people can be selfsh and only think about themselves so they may hurt someone.

I’m not immature, I’m having fun. You should try it sometime.
Yeahh pagans
Keep on telling yourself that i hope it makes you sleep at nights
When someone says I’m immature, I always say, “I’m not, I’m not, I’m not!”
Well, I think your brain has some problem of telling the difference between maturity and immaturity. Oh wait, do you even have a brain?
If a family member tells me I’m immature, I think I should at least use a comeback that sounds respectful, so I would say:
“Well (family member) if you think I’m being immature, then you’ll have to try & CONVINCE me to be mature.”
Nine times out of ten, this family member won’t want to try & sweet talk me into being mature, so he or she would most likely grow exasperated, end the conversation &/or take a break from conversing with me any more for a while, which is fine with me, especially if it’s a family member I don’t like!
But if someone outside of my family were to tell me I’m being immature, I would use a strong comeback, & say:
“Yeah, I know. I’m just being immature to piss you off because you’re being TOO mature!”
