I love everyone's opinions in this thread and I think it's great that everyone pretty much agrees that RPing varies. Because that's the fun of it.

To add in my own view on it, you all didn't ask for it but you're getting it anyway , I do honestly think first years are the hardest age because every individual is different.

I know kids around that age who are super cool and 'adult' and aren't little children anymore, but I also know kids who still run around with swords and dolls because they are still into that stuff. I personally played with my dolls until I was thirteen (barbies were the best, ok).

So, yeah.

Everyone is different. I think what truly matters is consistency though. If you're going to play a character a certain way don't ride the middle line. That's what makes a character believable- at least to me.

And that's all I'm gonna say besides that fact that I love this thread. A lot.
