Actually, being a Lego fan is much more difficult for a teen (I mean
15-17) than the real adults like us. They are more sensitive to the
pressure from the crowd (family and friends) around them and I think
being a Lego fan (or having any "childish(!)" hobby) and admitting that
is a good sign of maturity for a teen.

Apart from the above, Shiri is one of the people here that I like
reading posts from most, because they have always a sense of maturity,
more than the ones from "real" adults sometimes (including me).
Actually, I even didn't know her age before it is expressed by another
poster under infamous "President and the Trainee" tread ..:-)
Good luck Shiri..:-)
