How weird, I'm actually wearing my Optimus Prime t-shirt right now . I think it's very normal for a 13 year old to like Transformers; my 13 year old brother still thinks it's cool and he's the most "normal" person in my family.
When I was 13, I was obsessed with Batman, Harry Potter, Pokemon and infectious diseases. Some things never change.

I guess I'm thinking that 13 isn't too old for Transformers. 15 might be pushing it.
Guess I'm looking for validation in thinking they were wrong about a lot of stuff. Like when they were drunk, calling me a reject...
anyway...

My friends are 17 and still watch that. Heck, I'm 17 and I watch shows that'd be considered worst then what you watched.
And I still watch them (Also because I'm banned from watching 15+ movies, because I constantly ask my Mum questions in the movie, because I get scared, haha, but that's what happens when she mothers you, haha.)
I use to watch shows like Barbie (I've seen all but one movie, "The Barbie Diaries")
Barbie in The Nutcracker (2001)
Barbie as Rapunzel (2002)
Barbie of Swan Lake (2003)
Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004)
Barbie and the Magic Pegasus (2005)
Barbie Fairytopia (2005)
Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia (2006)
Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (2006)
Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow (2007)
Barbie as The Island Princess (2007)
Barbie Mariposa and Her Butterfly Friends (2008)
Barbie and the Diamond Castle (2008)
Barbie in a Christmas Carol (2008)
Barbie Presents Thumbelina (2009)
Barbie and the Three Musketeers (2009)
Barbie in A Mermaid Tale (2010)
Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale (2010)
Originally I was forced to watch the first 4 movies because my Mum let us rent DVD's and I'd pick Pokemon and my sister would pick Barbie, my Mum said that if I want to watch Pokemon the movie, I have to watch Barbie. So, I did. The first one I found to like, the second I liked a lot, and the third... Good, and I loved the 4th one!

They're not just for girls I believe, because it's just a show/movie in the end, isn't it?
I also still watch kids show like, "Ni hao Kai Lan" & "Fifi", etc.
I have a baby sister so, what else do I have to do? Hahas~
Just be glad you're allowed to watch 15+ movies, hahas. The list I gave you is small.
It doesn't mean I'm abnormal though, I mean, who cares what I watch, right?
Besides that, it'd be worst then me watching 15+ because I have nightmares all night & get scared for about a whole week~
Yeah, I'm not use to horror movies, and I don't like blood, yet alone mine~ What are you going to do?

Question seems vague.
I used to have a interest in watching My Little Pony's. That didn't go over well.
So I'll just answer, yes?

I was wondering why you enjoyed watching this. I have a 13 yr old son with PDD-NOS who actually is very Aspergers like watching this and trying to hide it from us (his parents). I think there might be some life themes in there that he is going through and plan on watching the show shortly.
Personally it's fine with me.
