[hide] Age doesn't account for maturity, nor intelligence. Older adults often act as if because of their age they are superior to younger people, rubbish, all they want is pump their ego. Nope, but age does have a serious affect on ones maturity. You contradict yourself. First you say that "when you are below 18 you are pretty stupid" and now you say that "nope", learn some coherence. Then you say "but age does have a serious affect on ones maturity", you state is at a fact, but it merely your opinion, nothing more. By the way, it's probably not even your opinion, you heard it, agreed with it, and when you bring that pearl out you make an exercise of memory, not of reflection. I for one, disagree with that opinion. From age 0 to 16, I agree that age is important, since the brain and body is not fulled developed yet. But from age 16 and beyond, I think age is totally irrelevant. I've seen old adults (50+) around me do the same errors over and over again because they had failed to learn from their past experiences. I've seen one dwell into his narrow-mindness and ego, like a lot of the teenagers here do. I've seen another reject his love relationships, relationship after relationship, without ever facing the reasons of this. I've seen another live in depression, anxiety, fear, and self-pity. Those humans, no matter how old they were, never evolved. Evolution does not occur if one does not take the time to reflect. And even though I did not live any of those old adults' experiences, I don't need to - I have learned from their experience and will not do the same errors as they did.
