This kind of speaks for itself, but i'll explain my point. During the past hundred years or so, teenagers are reaching physical maturity faster than they used to, this is due to the artificial hormones and supplements in foods and drinks. This is becoming a problem in the views of some because you have physically mature people with the maturity level of a 13-14 year old or less. This has led to issues such as teenage pregnancy. Should we as a society adapt to this new change in human development or should we take out those hormones which are now an intergeral part of our business, food industry and drink companies? This is a very diverse subject so bring in anything you think supports your view or whether or not you even believe this to be true.
I may not always be 'mature' but since the age of 12, i was very switched on, alert, and was around a lot of older business men & women, i adapted to the business world, my parents have run several big businesses and worked from home a lot as well, so i grew up a mature household. So I adapted to it early on, followed by my physical maturity. However you may see physical maturity, i see it as your bodies growth, and the actions of which you take. I for one was already down a GYM at 12 Years old, i had started with the basic running machines and lifting small weights, coming home from School, then going to the Gym, then coming home and being around work. Mentally and Physically i felt like i was an adult already. by the age of 14 i physically built my own design company over in Cyprus, and i am now 18, with a step-son, a potential toddler on the way, a chain of restaurants slowly being built, & about to go buy my first house (put a mortgage down anyway) and by next year am considering a nice new car.
You are one messed up kid, what did you do to your childhood?

How can you conclude that i am messed up?
From the age of 3 i was playing games, by the age of 5 i was in school, by the age of 8-9 i was out enjoying my childhood every single day. by the age of 10, i spent 6 months in Florida getting education as my auntie was a headmistress at the time, pulled a few strings and got me a place in a nice primary school, over in kissimmee.
by 12 i was influenced by life, and it's luxuries, what i wanted was so for away and i hated always relying on my parents, so i WANTED to get older quicker, and i accomplished what i have wanted to do, out of my own choice of being a working man. I am able to provide for my Girlfriend, Step-Son and the toddler on the way as well as buy a nice home, a nice new car, buy a new business, start a chain of businesses, i'm hardly 'messed up', i'm happy with what i've achieved, and i'm only going to propel myself further on to more.
Where is the wrong doing or 'messed up' about that?
FYI; I am no kid nor a child, as far as I'm concerned i am an adult. Thanks.
Physical maturity is affected by what we eat, but for a different reason. Nowadays, anyone, even a child, can put food in a microwave and eat. Sure it feeds you, but is it good? No, not the taste, but what's inside the food. You have all these ingredients put into that easymac that you eat, it's no wonder why they are having some effects on our body. Of course, it's unconfirmed, right? Of course it is! Has there been a confirmed report in which homogenized milk has effects on the humans that drink them? Nope.
Mental maturity. What is it exactly? No, it's not being serious all the time and not being "immature" by acting like a kid. It's the full maturity of the spectrum of your brain. What I mean is, full mental maturity is where you have fully developed your mind in the ways of intelligence, emotionality, morally, and responsibility. I don't think kids have all this fully developed, do they? Your emotions, morals, and responsibility however, are influential aspects of your mental spectrum. They depend on what influences them in the human's life.

Yet you find the time to go on a gaming website and repeatedly comment on forums? I don't quite believe every piece of information you stated there. What is your chain of 'restaurants' called?

I have a mobile, i can use it while at work.
I have a laptop, it's at work, so when it is quiet because of the time of day, i can catch on my emails, at the same time i can crack a few comments.
When i get home, I've got other things to do on the computer alongside book work, i can throw a few comments in then.
I have days off, so i can relax for a bit, enjoy my time with the girlfriend and the kid.
Do i really have to explain myself to someone so simple minded?
As for the Chain of restaurants, i said i can START a chain. Which i am in the process of doing over the next 2 years.
My current business is 'Stroumpi Restaurant & Bar'
Thanks for the consideration you put in to questioning my life, it was extremely thoughtful of you.
Do i really have to explain myself to someone so simple minded?
I'm 14 years old, ironically this thread is about Mental Maturity so factor that into my comments when you're replying. No need to insult my intelligence.
Your restaurant isn't even on GOOGLE. Even I appear on Google slightly over 20 times by my username and countless times with my real name. I think you're a 'bit' of a liar.

Funny how i did mention I've just started it, and this would be the 4th time i have mentioned it now. That means i may of changed the name?
The previous name was 'Stroumpi Taverna' it is located in Stroumpi, just above Pafos on the way towards Kathikas & Polis.
Previously it was a little Cypriot & English eat in, nothing special.
Over the past 3 months I've put in countless hours renovating it, it is now a middle class English Restaurant & bar. So, i have changed the name to 'Stroumpi Restaurant' or 'Stroumpi Restaurant & Bar'.
I find it extraordinary i have to explain something to you, because you believe i am the 'liar', if i am not mistaken did MRWalker82 not point out you were 14 and claimed to have contacts or some sort of inside person in to the EU politics. Skim read your long winded argument with him. I find it very contradicting of yourself to start calling other people liars though.

That person is my father, don't disrespect him please.

It would come up on Google if it was as good as you say it is. Just admit that you may have slightly exaggerated the way you talked about your business in your first post and this argument can stop.
Ironically you are the one who first insulted my life, and commented on how I am a 'messed up' kid.
I was kind of talking to your past self when I said messed up kid. It wasn't a very serious remark don't worry. I'm just curious about your life I'm not trying to insult you it's just weird how you put yourself out as a genius businessman on a gaming website.
In regards to the OP, there are many issues with what you have put forth.
Firstly, while it is well known that we use growth hormones in many animals in order for them to mature faster as well as to increase their production of many products we use, there has been no conclusive evidence that there is a correlation to those hormones and the rate of development of humans.
And regarding your stance on teenage pregnancy, you are way off. It wasn't too many years ago, especially in the 1700-1800s, when 12 year old girls were married off to much older men and began having children. Teenage pregnancy has been quite common throughout human history. It is only a societal pressure that has emerged in the past 80 years or so that we expect our young people to refrain from reproducing until after they are out of their teens, or at least near to it.
Teens have always been getting pregnant, even preteens in many cases, as that is when they begin to be able to do so and their natural hormonal instincts direct them to do so. However the advent of our intrusive media, coupled with the social stigma surrounding young pregnancies, has created a lot of debate and opinionated discussion around the issue.
These sorts of things happen. A genuine senior was once active on AG half a year ago but you are missing the point. It would be nice if we could maybe get back on topic before this is locked ASAP!
Now then, we've all heard the rumors that these food chemicals could affect us in many different forms. So then, what about those that cook, instead of eat brand meals that have all those chemical ingredients that "mess you up"? Would any of this affect our mental maturity instead of physical? Is our progression of agricultural technology actually improving our ways of life in many ways than one?
As punishment for arguing what's fact and what's not on a forum instead of a profile, I want these answered before I get back from Golden Coralle. Cheerio~~
OP: Teen pregnancy is all based on the Morals that one's family holds against it. Lately though a great majority of societie's leading morals have been to keep pregnancy away from teenagers and at most part before they get married.
That person is my father, don't disrespect him please.
There was no disrespect, it was a comment.
It would come up on Google if it was as good as you say it is. Just admit that you may have slightly exaggerated the way you talked about your business in your first post and this argument can stop.
Stroumpi Tavern comes up on google. Stroumpi Restaurant & bar does not. Why? I already told you, it just recently opened. It is good, it's a great place i bought, not everything shows up on google within a week tho my friend. This is Cyprus, it's a slow news day everyday here.
I was kind of talking to your past self when I said messed up kid. It wasn't a very serious remark don't worry. I'm just curious about your life I'm not trying to insult you it's just weird how you put yourself out as a genius businessman on a gaming website.
I'm a businessman yes, does that mean i cannot visit a gaming website, my friend i would seriously think about how you pose your questions and opinions.
You stereotype me as a businessman who is not allowed to do anything else but work, and coming on here is a sin to my nature?
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, if you have further issues with how I lead my life, how i treat time to myself, go ahead and post on my comments. This thread has gone off topic for too long.
So then, what about those that cook, instead of eat brand meals that have all those chemical ingredients that "mess you up"?
The processes by which these foods are prepared, either by cooking or homogenizing the product, would destroy any of the chemicals present in the meat. A hormone is a chemical, so the process of preparing the foods would break down this chemical in such a way that it should have no affect on the consumer.
For a hormone to have an effect on the body it must be released into the blood stream, and this would be nearly impossible for the growth hormones used, not only because of the treatment of the food, but also because the chemicals in your stomach which break down food would break apart the hormone so that it wouldn't enter your bloodstream in it's original state.
Would any of this affect our mental maturity instead of physical?
Mental maturity is determined by your mental capacity, knowledge, and understanding. The vast majority of this is a result of education and experience, not physical growth. Because of this I would seriously doubt that there would be any effect on the mental maturity of humans.
Is our progression of agricultural technology actually improving our ways of life in many ways than one?
Absolutely. We are producing crops that have greater nutritional value, produce more or larger fruits or grains, are more resistant to disease which reduces the amount of chemicals that crops need to be treated with to produce food effectively. We are changing the speed at which animals are growing and producing products like fur, milk, eggs, and other products that humans utilize. This increases the production from each animal which allows there to be more product on the market to fulfill our needs.
While I do not doubt that there are some negative effects of this, there are obviously many benefits to humans as a direct result of our current agricultural processes as well as the current scientific studies being undertaken to provide even more benefit to us.
This is Cyprus, it's a slow news day everyday here
I hope you didn't expect me to already know that, thanks for letting me though.
not everything shows up on google within a week tho my friend
May I suggest you to make a website? I would have made one the first day it opened. You are not very inovative for a businessman. But let's leave that topic fall to the hands of your parents I have no business questioning you about your life ^_^.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, if you have further issues with how I lead my life, how i treat time to myself, go ahead and post on my comments. This thread has gone off topic for too long.
Indeed. I posted my opinion on Teen Pregnancy above as you can see.
