why do people say Justin Bieber looks like he's 12 like it is an insult?

if it's not an insult why bother saying it? I can maybe see saying it if someone asks you if he's attractive (even though that's not what I would do. I'd just say he's too young) but it's almost always on questions like "are you a fan" or "do you think he sucks"

it's not relevant to those questions and it basically reeks of an insult!

I guess I'm not necessarily offended since I am pretty sure people saying that are teenagers so I almost expect that kind of behavior from them. even so, it does piss me off and makes me think "their parents need to teach them manners"

unless you're Michael Buckley, you can't say it (again unless the question is whether he is attractive)

I mean do any of you saying this realize what you're indirectly saying? I'm too old to be technically offended but I imagine there would be kids out there that would be.

Update:

you guys know he's not 12...

that's not honesty. that's being rude to people.

again I want to ask do you realize what you're saying?

Update 2:

wait ignore that last comment. why say it though?

Update 3:

but I mean it about what you are indirectly saying you're not just saying that he looks like he's 12. you're implying that that is a reason to dislike somebody so in effect you are bashing people who look younger. I guess I am not offended and offended at the same time now that I think about it if that makes any sense.

Update 4:

HJbaby, I guess I've been brainwashed about my birthday my whole life then. no wonder I can't get a job.

    well it is seen as an insult to him because he isn't twelve... hes sixteen! people think hes a lot younger than he is... basically people make fun of him because he looks so young and things hes a lot older... and a lot of ten year old girls think they have a chance with him (when hes really a tad old for them)

    LOL Justin Bieber looks more like a girl than michael Jackson ever did, even post-surgery. Also, he was phenomenally talented and his music was inspiring and original, unlike Justine beaver's. FYI I loved MJ before he died and I don't believe any of that **** about him being a pedophile.

    It is an insult.

    EDIT: We know it's not the truth. Well i know. It's just a way of classifying him. Don't worry, its a joke. I think its a bad insult. By bad, i mean a lame insult. And we all know what we are saying. EX.,Justin sounds and looks like a 12 year old boy. Then again boys that age are taller.

    Because people are being rude and insulting. I'm much older than 12, but I know what the 12 year olds must feel like. Just like the interview that the jonas brothers did with i think it was either david letterman or jimmy kimmel ( don't get me wrong, i love the jonas brother with all my heart !) and when nick was asked if he dated miley cyrus at all and he said yes, but he also said " Well, I was maybe, i don't know, FOURTEEN at the time ?" and that was kind of rude cause i was 13 when i saw that interview. It's like he was saying that he thinks that fourteen year olds are stupid and immature ( no offense to miley ! i love her !) . Some are, but alot of them aren't though ! It's rude, mean, and insulting and I can admit, when he said that , I kind of took that to heart though . Yes I'm sensitive . I'm a cancer girl and a lot of cancer girls ( not all cause I have some best friends who are nothing like nothing what you would expect a cancer to be ! I mean that in a good way ! ) are very sensitive !

    well anyways, yes it's rude and people should really think before they open up their mouths because whatever they say can come back to haunt them !
