You're as young as you feel

Young Julius is an 11, almost 12- year-old boy who just doesn't want to grow up. Yes, he is sensible but loves child-like things and has many childlike traits. He has a fascination with colourful things, superheros and jumping on the trampoline and playing child-like games but his parents don't seem to approve. The boys at school certainly don't and pick at Julius whenever they can. Julius has above intelligence than most children his age which also lands him as a target due to anger and jealousy from the other kids. His parents are not much better though. His mum, brainwashed by his dad, says he isn't mature enough for his age and thinks he has the mind of a seven-year-old as she constantly says and worries incase he doesn't stand up for himself in school or isn't mature enough to handle situations. His father says he acts too much like a child, and constantly brings up the fact that he behaves youngwr and needs to 'man up' and also critesises his "silly superherogames" will things work ever out?
