They will think that their experiances are more unique than others and made them mature faster than the other kids around them. Chances are they are not and they didn't. You, and they, are not as special as you lead yourselves to be.
Not every kid, but many will. This same egotism can be seen throughout the lives of most people.
As it happens, maturity is both a very difficult creature to measure and also shaped like a bell curve when the populace is graphed. There are many that are of 'average' maturity ('for their age'), there are somewhat fewer of moderately below average and moderately above average, and then there is those rare few that end up being horribly immature or impressively mature.
Experiences being unique does not help with the rate of maturity... that would be the experiences coming more rapidly and bearing greater weight.

I don't believe he does. A 'fuck-toy' (such eloquence) is all he is after. He is playing the 'relationship' card to lure him in, in the same manner many of us men use that same card with women, get our way, and disappear. Didn't change the answer to the question, "Am I to young?", no, you are not. Sixteen is legal.
I certainly don't think that he is after anything else.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
