These were the details to your other question. (linked here) Do they still apply to this question?
-try to own a car as soon as possible, (I don’t mean that’s a risky thing)
-try alcohol and maybe drink and drive
-try other risky things (fill in the blank) including the activity that could involve the term _swiping…. (one direction or another)

I think the answer for this will still be the same as the answers you got from the other thread: not necessarily.

You seem to think if X doesn’t make sense, then the total opposite of X does. It isn’t always true. Not everything is black-and-white, and your situation falls onto that grey area. There isn’t one single set of things to define maturity, it’s a very relative concept. A teen doing all the things you list may be mature in the eyes of other teens, but not so in the eyes of adults.

@SergeantQueen Yes they apply to this question.
@Mimishu1995 I’ll post another OP to express what I mean.
Re. your “A teen doing all the things you list may be mature in the eyes of other teens, but not so in the eyes of adults.” So, true.
