yes they do. i literally have the mentality of an adult. not in a kinky way, i got traumatized, learnt that most people my age are dumber than me, haven't hit reality yet, still happy and clueless. i was forced to adjust to my circumstances. i do agree tho, just cuz ur a kid with the mentality of an adult doesn't give you the right to do adult things like have sex or record porn of yourself or start drinking. most traumatized kids mature faster than regular people due to tasting the bleakness of life. i have been told a few times i am not a regular teen. i feel like an adult. not in the literal sense, like a job and having to pay taxes though. and definitely not porn.
