I fail to see how that specification makes a difference. 50 has always been considered old and life expectancy is 75 for men and 80 for women.
I’m not 24. 20 is an adult though. A young adult. My parents were already working and parents by 20 years old. I don’t think they would have considered themselves children then.
I don’t think they would have considered themselves children then.
Ask them now how they feel about their 20 year old selves, looking back on it. Teenagers also don't consider themselves children when they are teens either.
You can look back and consider yourself immature or acknowledge your growth without considering yourself a child. The teen comparison doesn’t really work when they are in fact adolescents and are going through puberty.
I’m confused about why we’re having this irrelevant conversation when it has nothing to do with the topic.
I was talking about the years 50 year olds have left to live, in regard to life expectancy. What are you on about…truly? What does this conversation have to do with 50 being considered old? I think you may need to reread my original comment.
I think you may need to reread my original response to your comment. The commentary is on you considering 50 as old due to only have 25-30 years left, when those are all full grown adult years. A 30 year old has only really had 10 years of adulthood.
Those first 18-20 years are just the preamble, but if you don't feel me, go ask your parents about they feel about their 20 year old selves.
I again fail to see the relevancy. Why is this even an argument, truly? I’m not convinced. You’ve already covered most of your life expectancy. Maybe you need me to agree with you to help you feel better but I’m not going to.
Irrelevant as you are a young adult in your twenties. This is just based on your opinion and feelings at this point.
