How to fight a losing battle with one's self?

Hi, I can relate to this completely as I asked a similar question less than 5 minutes ago. I don't think I saw your age in this, but I'm 15 and I'm at this point where although it sounds cocky to say - I think I'm more mature than my peers but disregarding whether or not this is a social advantage or not, I feel like an outcast and have no one I can talk to without kind of acting like someone else. I see people everyday wasting their lives by skiving school, taking drugs and trying to loose their virginity I guess to 'fit in' and 'be cool'. It makes me mad and not wanting to lower myself to those kind of standards I spend most of my time in front of my laptop, most of the time just reading interesting things and trying to educate myself and understand things better, and the internet has thousands of people just like me which makes me think maybe the people who act all immature and retarded can kind of be mature when you don't have to see them face to face? Maybe some people are just not meant to fit in and be social. People fear what they do not understand, so when someone who doesn't follow the social majority's customs comes in, he's going to get a negative reaction. I know I didn't answer your question, I just thought I'd give some insight. I completely get your last paragraph, I feel the same thing about how I'm 99% sure I'm not depressed and in perfect control of my feelings, although there's times where I just don't see the point anymore, in almost anything.
