Maturity in Teenage Males

Today I went to an all boys high school to participate in the 'Human Relations Day'. It was sort of nice to see so many of my primary school friends there but none of them happened to be placed into my group. The group I was placed in was quite interesting. .  I can't complain because I was one of the group leaders but then again. .. . It would've been nice if I was placed into a group with a more mature set of boys(not quite sure if that even exists). Their immaturity levels proved very alarming and it was hard to hide the disdain spreading across my face. 

The day kicked off with a physical start where we all participated in 'recreational' activities that involved dancing, sack racing, hula hoops etc. It was interesting to say the least. Afterwards we had some snacks to eat (carrot cake and cordial - nightmare combination...I absolutely loathe cordial and I don't enjoy eating cake). Ah well, the day couldn't have gotten much worse. ... or so I thought.


When it came to emotional activities that required thinking (girls asking boys questions and vice versa), the girls came up with what I would call an appropriate set of questions e.g. what do boys expect in a relationship, however to my disappointment, the boys bombarded us with extremely personal questions that I'm sure every girl would've had problems with answering -coughcough- (questions relating to female reproductive organs and how often one 'pleasures' it). 


Hah, I'm tired. Today I learnt a lot about the clockworks of the opposite sex and to be honest, it's quite the turn off. Then again, age plays a huge factor in this and makes me wonder if the bunch of immature boys I was grouped with will ever mature into men who don't value sex over everything in a relationship.
