I think it's important to point out that age doesn't equate with maturity. And needing support definately doesn't equate with immaturity either. Telling your team when you are struggling is what you are meant to do, that isn't attention seeking. What I would see as immature would be refusing to cooperate with your team, lying to them, playing with them and deliberately worrying people. That is something I have noticed around here, that and people actively trying to get worse. Neither of those things would I equate with you Chels.
There is definately a competitiveness on this site, however I do also think there is some backlash against that. There are members pointing out when things are unhelpful and competitiveness and I see that as a very positive thing. Ultimately this site is only as helpful as it's members are so I think we all have a responsibility to speak out against the things that they find uncomfortable.
