This reminds me... In health class we're in sex ed right now, and my teacher said about 200 years ago, a lot of people would start puberty years later than when people normally do today...

well i think we all need both. if all u had in u were "just being mature" then that's boring. and for the kendo stick it's an interest of yours that have nothing to do with maturity. idk if u guys know what i am trying to say.
i meant doing something like a kid once in a while is cute. but my denfinition for "mature" is being responsible and have a brain of ur own. if u r childish u can still be mature at the same time.  (if u dont get it then just pretend i wrote nothing since i'm a bad explainer)

As Nyo and MMM have said, I think you're mistaking the two.
Immaturity, I find, is about how a person thinks and their actions. Wanting to learn Kendo, however your father sees it, is not immature, nor can it be mature in any state. It's the same with lego. If you wish to play with lego, and you enjoy it, then it's your choice. However, if you believe in fairies, and in vampires then I'd call you immature. If you believed in father christmas or the tooth fairy, I'd call you immature. If you believed in God, I'd call you stark raving mad. But not immature. So, we come to religion. I don't think that those people who preach are immature. No. They only think they're doing you a favor, and that they're doing their duty to their God, however patronizing they may sound to you. About the issue of holding onto your "inner child", personally, It's down to the person's personality. You'll notice, that mainly when it comes to business or problems, I'm one of the most strict people. Same with taking charge of something. But when I have no need to, then you'll see my inner child. But the truth is, I dislike showing my inner child to people. I prefer people to look at me, and see a mature, uptight, and strict young man with a sense of humour, than a young man who still clings onto his childhood.

Example: Wouldn't you call it immature if you wanted to learn Kendo just to piss your parents off?
If you class that as stupid (which it is), then pretty much all things immature are (or can be classed as) stupid!

Stupid, and stubborn and unappreciative of your parents. Also, you're still going by the view that stupid = immature. Which I disagree.

I'm not going by stupid = immature... If anything, I'm going by stupidity is included in immaturity.
