Mature

The other day, one of my classmates asked me a tough question: what is the standard of a mature schoolboy, or in other words, what can indicate a school guy is mature? He said that he had been considering this question for a long time. Because he is often told, when he is at home, that he is not mature as he should be while in college he think he is much more mature than many other guys who are his age. At school, he knows what things he should do and what should not; he can take the degree of many things and can put them just right; he also has great ambitions and passion for his study. Compared with his contemporaries, he thinks, it is enough for him to be called a mature school guy. Then, why do his parents always deny it?   After he told his story, I really felt at loss what to answer his question. To level with you, I have never thought of this question before and there is even no idea about it in mind. However, I indeed very appreciate and worship those who are rational and sensible. As long as one is rational and sensible, he is superior to his contemporaries in many ways.    However, my dear readers, what’s the standard of a mature schoolboy in your mind? Please don’t hesitate to tell me. Thank you!
