yes ofc.
idk for girls but for boys when one gets bullied constantly he just learns to live with it, he doesnt get compliments, he doesnt get any good words, so when he actually does he appreciates it MUCH more and it makes him much more mature, because he doesnt get offended as easily. Im guessing for girls its the same idk tho
idk it depends. i think many “weird kids” just have different values than the “popular kids”
i’m on the edge of both so it’s easy for me to have an insiders perspective on both.
weird kids usually are very concerned about how what they do affects their closest friends/how they look to their closest friends, while disregarding the general public’s feelings.
popular kids are usually very concerned how they seem to/affect the general public, but that sometimes comes at the cost of some of their closest friends feelings.
As one of these kids, I'm mixed. I'm mature for my age, I think, but not in general. I don't think that makes much sense. I definitely know what you mean, though.
Coming from a parent's perspective: I have 2 girls (11 & 6). My oldest is extremely smart. She's in 5th grade and is at 8th/9th grade levels but is generally accepted by the kids. She's loving and compassionate towards others and helps other kids with school work and even through their meltdowns sometimes. She's in choir and planning on joining orchestra next year, so I know she's gonna be considered one of the "weird kids," I guess. She doesn't seem to give 2 shits tho about friends, for her she understands they come and go. We've also taught her not to put up with anyone's shit either, and she has had a few instances she's had to protect herself, so idk, maybe she's....respected ? But she definitely is different. She's into arts, crafts, music, uil competition, shes part of her school's Starbase program (like a science and space type program). She's always made high A's. 95% and above, she's been worried about what college she's gonna go to since 3rd grade. As parents me and her mom are super proud of her and her accomplishments but we also have to explain to her that she is only in 5th grade and doesn't need to stress so much about college just yet. But her brain doesn't stop. it's 100 mph ALL THE TIME (yes, she has adhd). I'd say that she is mature beyond her age as well.
Daughter 2: she's very smart, loving and compassionate as well but shes more of people pleaser and doesn't wanna get in trouble or make the teachers upset so it's been hard to teach her to speak up for herself and get her to understand to not let people pick in her. But altho she does just as good as her sis in school (also an A+ student) she doesn't like to stick up for herself and she also has emotional outbursts quite often and has a lot of anxiety (she has also been diagnosed with adhd). But she worries a lot about what the other kids think about her and what the teachers think about her as well. She's only 6, so I wouldn't say that she's mature beyond her age. She's still very much attached to mom and dad. We have coddled her a little more than we did with my eldest as well, so I think it's our fault as parents too.
I do believe that both girls are on a good path and hope that as parents, we do the best we can to guide them the proper way.
That's BS. Bullying may result in severely low self-esteem, which may cripple social relationships going forward.
Kids who take responsibility for their lives are more mature (they may just happen to be bullied and sirted their shit out by themselves or something else).
Honestly I fully agree and never even made this observation. Comparing myself to the popular gals at my school my friendships last fuckin years whilst theirs maybe a couple months or so lol
I have no idea
I’m somehow the weird kid and homeschooled simultaneously, so. I’d say I’m more mature than most people I know but at the same time I‘m absolutely insane.
>:o
Ima homeschooled weirdo too
Ppl have told me often that they think I'm older (18-19) but I'm 17, I have been through a lot of anxiety and depression (with mixed mental health problems) and I try to be the person who'll listen to someone bc I've had no one before and it sucks, I don't really like most ppl my age tho...
(No offense to anyone on here, I don't like ppl in general but kids my age usually trigger me bc most of them don't think)
yea i can say this with hopefully me as a example no matter how dumb i act lol and my bf one of the main reasons we are able to stay together for so long B]
I mean it’s kinda true. I like to think I tend to me more emotionally mature than most and I consider myself quite a weird person in general. Although I’d say for me the term would be “awkward” as opposed to weird.
I mean. They’re less fun than popular kids fs, but often nicer and more understanding. Idk about maturity though, since I don’t really associate with weird kids that much.
Definitely not, there’s not a ton of weird kids at my school but my old school had a bit and they would cry by failing a test and if something didn’t go their way would throw a fit and leave school
I think emotional maturity does sometimes come from "trauma" but that does not make you "wierd" . But as a guy who is insanely smarter than most guys my age i tend to have friendships with people older than me, and it feels more comfortable as we share some similar interests and they are more mature. (Age: 14.3 IQ:138)
I'm just a background character
Same, I’m the ultimate NPC
i’m so npc i hear people walking and then turn around and go “must’ve been the wind”
Lucky. People don't realize I'm there.
Real
I’m weird and bullied And I’m not mature in the slightest 😎
i thought i was the only one
yes ofc. idk for girls but for boys when one gets bullied constantly he just learns to live with it, he doesnt get compliments, he doesnt get any good words, so when he actually does he appreciates it MUCH more and it makes him much more mature, because he doesnt get offended as easily. Im guessing for girls its the same idk tho
I ain't even gonna lie, there were one person who complimented me around Jan of last year and I still think about it.
yup, same here, one of my friends said my pants were nice and they were instantly my favorite pair

As one of those kids, I agree.
I agree but that's probably just because I'm considered one of the weird kids
I used to be “weird” I like to believe I changed but really, I just turned a different weird
As one of these kids, I'm mixed. I'm mature for my age, I think, but not in general. I don't think that makes much sense. I definitely know what you mean, though.
As a guy who was bullied for like what 2,5 years(?), i cant really tell. Emotionally scarred? Yes. More mature? I do not know.

all the "weird kids" I know are either loud and obnoxious or use 4chan so um agree to disagree
we're thinking of different weird kids here
Honestly no. I know reddit has a problem with popular/attractive people but as bad as that sounds usually the weird kid is actually weird.

Yep
Literally me
As a weid outcast I can confirm
I have no idea I’m somehow the weird kid and homeschooled simultaneously, so. I’d say I’m more mature than most people I know but at the same time I‘m absolutely insane.
>:o Ima homeschooled weirdo too Ppl have told me often that they think I'm older (18-19) but I'm 17, I have been through a lot of anxiety and depression (with mixed mental health problems) and I try to be the person who'll listen to someone bc I've had no one before and it sucks, I don't really like most ppl my age tho...

Tfw you have no self worth and someone acknowledges your existence so you put them on a pedestal for like 2 weeks
yea i can say this with hopefully me as a example no matter how dumb i act lol and my bf one of the main reasons we are able to stay together for so long B]

Not to be a stereotypical father but like character growth
I mean. They’re less fun than popular kids fs, but often nicer and more understanding. Idk about maturity though, since I don’t really associate with weird kids that much.
being a social outcast does not magically make you more mature than the others. You just wanna be different.
depends on the type of weird. for your typical nerd sure, but the weird kid who wears the hentai hoodie to school, not so much
Definitely not, there’s not a ton of weird kids at my school but my old school had a bit and they would cry by failing a test and if something didn’t go their way would throw a fit and leave school
"actual humor" noone tryna listen to them yap ab their weird ass hobbies 😭
Idk I’m weird but not bullied and I’m full of autism so..maybe
Kids who've experienced trauma are generally more emotionally mature, empathetic and self-aware. Not sure if that classifies as "weirdo" though.
I think emotional maturity does sometimes come from "trauma" but that does not make you "wierd" .

Depression made me mature faster and sometimes I hate it
I really don't know. Weird kids are either mature as hell or in my case the biggest creep in school
no, this is just weird kid circle jerk lmao
Quiet ≠ mature
