Maybe I'm odd, but at 13 (and Sam's 12, as far as I know) I was definitely not worried about losing my virginity and neither were any of my friends. At that point, I was not in any way concerned with having a boyfriend. Sure, there were girls in my class who were very proud of having a boyfriend (though I'm not sure whether they lost their virginity at 13), but not the majority; I would say less than 30%.
Having a bit of a crush on someone and talking to your friends about it is of course a different thing, but I also didn't do that at 13, but more like 14 or 15 - and same for my friends. It's not like anyone said "OMG you're too young for sex or relationships", we were just interested in different things.
Granted, Sam's behaviour is pretty immature, but just wanting to have sex is not per se a sign of maturity - it can be the exact opposite.
Thrillho:
That depends on your definition of maturity, given that wanting to have sex is part of puberty and as such, physical maturity, given that your hormones are changing :mrgreen: [/douchiness]
I wouldn't say you're odd, I was exaggerating anyway, but the point is you wouldn't be like OH MY GOD FRENCH KISSING OOOOOOOOH at age 13, surely?
Who knows. Maybe we're all wrong. Maybe we're out of order. Maybe the whole freakin' system's out of order.

I believe the specials blackboard says "Have your drink prepared by an unpaid child"

Woha. Well spotted.
Sidhekin:
Nice reading of the specials, Rimwolf! (I tried, and gave up, but I do believe you have it right.)

... or perhaps "scandalized"?
"Delightfully scandalized"?
... meh ...

I mean not all of them, obviously, as Schmorgluck says, mileage may vary - but it just seemed unlike even the most immature thirteen year olds I've ever met.

There's definitely a world outside the one you've lived in.
