I had a teacher (who is wonderful
) tell me my daughter was "very immature." She didn't say it with any malice - she was simply stating what she perceived to be fact.
The correct thing to say, of course, would have been "your daughter is very unbalanced" (i.e. cognitively advanced and socially delayed), but that's not what she said.
Was she correct? Absolutely. Did she use the best choice of words? Possibly not.
Do I care? Not really, not anymore. I've past being worn down and now I'm at that awesome place of "whatever."
