I don’t mind if you say I am, I’ll tell you why I think I might be (my friend said I was), I’m 12 btw:
- I hate staying up late on sleepovers, I tolerate it but I’d prefer to just call it a night at en ![]()
- I hate taking risks and I stay on the safe side
- I don’t have any social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, MSN or Tumblr because I want to be a political journalist and am very focused in achieving my dream – I think websites like these can be addictive and would be distracting.
- I love politics and am really interested in the news and what happens in the world.
- I don’t have any crushes on any boys yet ![]()
- I’m quiet and shyer although I do have good friends
- I hate Drama and Dance – anything where I have to perform or stand out- I feel awkward and I can’t do it.
- I feel like an adult cos I’m not interested in crushes or makeup or stuff like that – I’m interested in world issues, business, politics, government and the law
- I hate disobeying my parents for friends; family comes first. I hate doing anything mean to my parents or deceiving them.
- I buckle under peer pressure and am not very good at saying no and standing my ground. I used to feel really depressed but I’m ok now.
- all I want to do is get educated and go to uni and start my career – I’m not interested in boys just yet, or blackberry phones or ‘normal’ teenage girl stuff.
- I can be serious and formal and i guess I feel most comfortable like that.
- I’m never gonna take drugs, drink or cigarettes, I’ve witnessed the effects and I will never ever go down that path and I never want to try a cigarette
Am I boring? Is it ok to be like I am?


You’re not boring at all. I actually have some of the same interests as you, and while some people think that I’m dull to hang out with, other people think that I’m a fun person. I’d be your friend if I knew you.
If you like being this way, it’s good. Plus, you’ll probably grow up more successful than the people who go out and party with their boyfriends as teenagers. Just do whatever you want to do and try not to mind whether or not your friends think that you’re boring.
However, I suggest that you try new things. You can’t be young forever, but keep your maturity level. Don’t change because someone tells you to.

You’re 12 years old – if you restrict yourself this much at a young age, by 15-16 you’ll have done all those things in excess.
Just live a little, let yourself go just a bit.
Smoke a good joint and fly away…In time everything will change for you.
Your are not boring you’re just thinking of your future, but a little fun every now and then is not going to hurt you… Have some fun life is short…
Sorry to say but you are. Be crazy! Live a little! Be risky and daring its find! You only live once!
hey, be what you are and don’t be something you are not. do not care what others think of you. you can be whatever you are, do whatever you want to do, as long as you are not harming or bothering those around you. keep any comments to yourself and if you have nothing good to say or to add to a conversation, shut your mouth. simple things to do but you would be surprised how hard it is to do.
peace.
You’re not boring, you’re mature beyond your years. Don’t worry about being crazy and or doing any weird stuff yet, you’re only 12 and you shouldn’t be doing drugs or drinking or smoking anyway for pete’s sake. Your friends are lucky to have you, you can act as a grounding influence for their crazy days and a shoulder to lean on for their emotional ups and downs in the coming years. Hopefully they’re good enough friends that you can lean on them too, and if you’ve got friends like that you must be doing something right.
Don’t stress about it so much, you’re going to fine.
