I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

When I was younger, I used to be very hyper and energetic. I wasn't afraid to act a little crazy sometimes, and I was very confident. However, now I'm 15 and naturally, I got more mature. In fact, people say that I've changed a lot, and that I've become boring. I thought that I was just being immature, but people used to like being around me. Should I go back to being playful and carefree, or am I too old for that now? (link)

People mature at different rates and this can often cause conflict as people get older. You have matured to a stage in your life that your friends have not necessarily reached yet. Because of this, they feel that you are boring and you might find their behaviour immature. It's not necessarily that either side is right or wrong. In time, they will start to move away from their current behaviour and will act more mature but in the meantime, they aren't there.
There's no reason you can't all have fun together, but you need to find some new common ground. Try to think of something you would enjoy doing, whether it is all going for a meal or taking up a new hobby, going to the cinema or bowling. See how it goes. If you all have a brilliant time, great! If you don't, then it might be worth perhaps spending a little less time with them and either spending more time with just you or maybe join a club of some kind and make more friends. Don't necessarily drop your old friends. Just expand your social circle to include peeople you have more in common with for the time beeing. Then, when your friends catch you up, you'll be able to enjoy their company more and you'll have more friends to hang out with already!
