Kugai:
I'm just waiting for the moment where Sam and Veronica meet.

Besides cultural influences, there's the fact that kids hit puberty at varying ages. I think Sam is a late developer. She's shown zero indication of interest in boys/sexy things, zero desire to act or appear sophisticated or leave behind any of her "kid" mannerisms, and she doesn't have any curves yet.

Exactly, plus she doesn't have any peer pressure because she hardly has any friends her own age, and apparently none she likes enough to hang out with much. So yeah, I find her a very believable 13.
Platypodes:
Yeah, and those things might build on each other. Because she doesn't have a lot of friends, she hasn't given in to peer pressure to take up conventional pubescent girl interests, and then, because all the other girls have gone gaga for boys and fashion, she becomes even less interested in hanging out with them...
Alternately, maybe Sam used to have closer friends, but, being a strong-willed sort who doesn't give in to peer pressure easily, she lost interest in the other girls when they got all giggly and fashionable and stopped wanting to do fun stuff like catching frogs in the swamp.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 01 May 2014, 20:49 ---Even more so when Sam uses the coffee shop WiFi to satisfy her curiosity about what Ms. Reed looks like.

Hahaha! If she thinks french kissing is gross....
--- End quote ---
That depends on how you put it, doesn't it?
Barmymoo:
I au paired for a family with a 12 year old girl, and we once had a discussion about sex which basically consisted of her saying "but that sounds GROSS, why would anyone want to do that?!". I find Sam a believable 13, and agree that she's probably pre-pubescent.
