I know a lot of 12 year olds can be stupid little trolls, but how does that make all 12 year olds bad?

My little brother (12 years old) is more mature than most of my friends (15-18)
Sure 12 year olds can be immature, but can't adults?
My brother loves to forum, and make mods and stuff for people, but hates lying about his age? Why does he have to lie about his age? Because everyone has to be prejudice towards little kids.

How did all of that originate though? Sure their immature but why does every person who is trolling or is immature a 12 year old?

Opinions?

Honestly 75% of most the younger crowd on Xbox are not mature and are extremely annoying. You don't have many who are fine to deal with.

Half the younger kids always wanna talk about the opposite team about how there body parts are bigger than the moon and what not. Its just stupid.

My solution to little kids that do type of stuff is I mute them.

I think that people will always bag on the younger players. Its just like Seniors bagging on Freshman in high school.

When literally the majority (98%) of 12 year olds are immature little trolls, it's hard not to stereotype. Almost impossible actually. But don't worry, even 15 year olds (me) are stereotyped by the same thing, although not as severe.

From a legal perspective the only games 12 year olds should be playing on xbox are Kinectimal's and other useless junk.

It's like any stereotype, it obviously doesn't apply to everyone, but it applies to the majority. I was trying to play BO1 Zombies earlier, and these two little "12 year olds" (Yes, stereotyping), were squeaking down the mic with all sorts of profanity threatening to boot me offline and find out where I live. The moment I read their IP and state out to them, they quit and sent me a message saying they are ringing the police?

(For the record, obtaining someones IP and reading them it is not illegal, as you are not tampering with their connection)

This happens very often. The part that reinforces this even more is that if you join a game with people who are actually of the legal age to play the game, then they 9 times out of 10 have matured enough to not bother hurling abuse over a microphone, instead they are there for a game.

I'm sorry man, but it does annoy me, I can honestly say I have never met anyone below the age of 14 on XBL who has not been a complete imbecile.
