What do you think of 13 years olds?

I see them as innocent and childish. Exposed to adult things they don't yet fully understand, but that they will come to understand. I see them as people who don't yet know themselves or even the little world they live in let alone the larger bits. I fully understand that's not true of every 13 year old and there's likely plenty of them who are more mature and or knowledgeable than myself. But my gut instinct is to profile them this way as most 13 year olds i have encountered including myself have been that way.
