Too Curious?

[RiaBinx]

I am fairly young, yet my mom is always saying I am too curious.

The truth is that I am thirsty for answers my mom can't give and I know that my mom thinks that I'm a smart elic if I correct the way she uses a word, so lately she has been asking me dificult questions that I honestly don't know the answer to. I really wanted a dictionary for my birthday, but the one I had gotten was for the elementary level.
My dad, on the other hand seems to know alot and if I ask him a question he doesn't know the answer to, we search it. His girlfriend somehow got the idea blood was blue and I told her, no it isn't and my dad was like 'SEARCH TIME!' And so I was right, it was not blue because of iron content.
I also like channels like the Discovery channel, the History channel, and National Geographic channel. But I do like anime, just where I live it's only on Saturday night/Sunday morning. And I like manga.
Is it possible to be too curious?

[FONT="Tahoma"]Curiosity's a wonderful thing, in my opinion. Curiosity leads you to ask questions and questions lead to answers which leads to knowledge, and knowledge is power, as i learned at an early age from Mortal Kombat. ;D Though, just like most other things in life, it's not nearly as black and white. You must be careful to know when to be and when not to be curious. Sometimes too much curiosity can get you into a lot of trouble. Othertimes it can only make you smarter. So always keep that in mind.

Also i find it funny that you're curious on whether or not you're too curious. ...perhaps a sign that you are? :animesmil[/FONT]

:animeblus I've gotten in ALOT of trouble before, because of a question...

Anyway knowledge is power, but my first boyfriend was really annoying because I seemed to know sooo much more than him. It bugged me to the point of where I don't ever want another ever. My friend Warren and I can stay on the same page, butt only for a bit, it's like, there's a limit to what you can tell people my age before their brains shut off.

It sometimes is boring when my LA teacher (I'm in advanced LA) goes over vocabulary I already know...

Nah, it's completely impossible to be too curious. Some people?like me?just enjoy finding out about things. Heck, I used to tote around our Thorndyke-Barnhardts when I was in early grade school, just to see if I knew what stuff meant. (I don't anymore, but it's been a few years so I should probably give the ole' things a re-read. :p)

It is possible to be curious and lack any sense of tact, though. Ask the wrong question in the wrong place and you'll be red for a week. Ask the [I]right[/I] question in the wrong place and the reactions are almost invariably priceless.

And don't be hard on people just 'cause they don't know stuff. Some people don't retain information like you seem to do, and others don't care so much.[/FONT]

Thank you.
It really seems as though most people in my grade only care about stupid things, like their looks, or their 'love life' I mean, really they're only 13 and 14. I bore most of my friends when I am not in a very goofy mood, yes I have my moments, a wild bit of laughter, like a maniac.

I mean, really who dosent have innocent moments, no matter how non- innocent you are?

What it seems like these days are most younger people are only interested in growing up. They do it in different ways, some become sexually active too early.
Some try to hard to get involved in relationships (not the same as sexually active) and they let them rule their lives. Others pursue knowledge and after gaining a bit of an edge on their peers they feel like they've "matured" and become bored with "young children" who are the same age as they are.

It seems you are one of the few remaining that act like a "normal" 13 year old. It's fantastic that you're curious about things and no matter what people tell you.
"Curiosity did not kill the cat, losing track of what's important and chasing the mouse into the road ,however, did" -Me about 5seconds ago

So don't let yourself get caught up in things that won't be around forever, and always pursue that knowledge that drives you. It will take you places, whereas getting caught up in being "adult" will only slow you down.

Yeah. That is true, I am usaully casted out as being 'immature' because I don't like boys the way they do, I have guy friends, and they are more loyal than any girls I know. And yes with them I talk about anime, manga, scars, memories, and of course gruesome things like recent or not so rcent spills while do ing tricks

[FONT="Tahoma"]Just be careful not to start thinking that you're better than everybody else. Regardless of whether it's "true" or not isn't too important. That elitist attitude is really annoying and not nearly as productive as other frames of mind... But never lose that curiosity and thirst for knowledge, either. It's admirable at such a young age. So yeah... go you. ;D [/FONT]

[CENTER][FONT="Palatino Linotype"]Possible to be too curious? Hah! I believe not.

I'm pretty young myself (I'll be 15 in December), and like you, I'm over-loading with questions about random stuff. It often annoys people, but that's why I joined OB, so I can ask questions without being judged too much.

So, is it possible to be too curious?

I don't think so.[/FONT][/CENTER]

i am guessing your parents are annoyed by your curiosity. I am a baby sitter so work with a lot of little kids, and even tho there questions drive me insane i manage to answer them. Even though some are white lies. But hey curious people turn out very smart! The more questions answered more knowledge is at hand!

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Book Antiqua"]I'm with Allamorph, there's nothing wrong with being curious but you do have to know when to not speak up or when not to pry. That's something I've learned the hard way in the past. It's so easy to let your curiosity get you in trouble, seriously.

Like Drizzt Do'urden said with the following the mouse into the road... Splat! XP I've gotten curious about things and then felt like I got run over when I pried and found out more.

So stay curious, but at the same time, just be careful that you don't over do it and that you don't think poorly of others who have different interests. Because then, you're just being a stuck up jerk and no one likes one of those. =P[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Well......yes and no. I used to correct people, but I stopped. Think about it. If you are the type of person who is curious and will find the answers no matter what, expect to be a genius and know just about everything. However, the down side is that if you end up killing someone, or do somethin illegal, then you have a problem. Bottom line? Be curious with a good heart.[/COLOR]
