Why 13-17 years old are adolescents and 18-19 are adults.
You stupid uneducated idiots. Just because they had the teen thing in, their age doesn't mean they are literally teenagers. It does not make you a child if you do things or act like a child, that's just the way you act and the actions. Cause you are biologically an adult or an adolescent if you still act like a child or does kiddie things. You can still act childish after your brain is fully developed. Wow, they used to say your brain is finished developed at 18, then 21 now its MID 20s??? WHAT THE **?? AREE, THEY ARE CHANGING IT???? I am 14 years old, and I am in high school. I'm a freshman and I consider myself an adolescent/teenager. I think most people are lazy to know the differences and are likely rather older adults or some guy with no brain. I think young adults and teenagers are more mature than older adults honestly. You also need to shut up and know the difference before you say "13-17 YEARS OLDS ARE CHILDREN" and "18 AND 19 ARE STILL TEENAGERS" There isn't only children and adults, why is there such thing as infants, toddlers and 13 to 17 years olds. I think child to adult transition is just a myth and why adolescence is actually a stage. A Child/Kid means anyone who is under 13. And 4-12 years olds are considered children or kids. Adults are indeed 18 and over. A child and a kid are the same thing. Teen and Adolescent are same too! That's for all, read this before you say anything that does not make sense.
Just because child and adult are the oldest words. It does not mean there is only childhood and adulthood. In the past, everyone didn't know and the science was kinda outdated and were prove wrong later now.
I forgot the word say.
I did not adults were stupid, I was saying that the older adults are more immature than young adults. Stop blaming on the youth and using your "so called scientific evidence" to claim that 18-23 years old are still teenagers/adolescents and also trying to label teenagers as kids/children.
EARLY 20s???? WHAT THE ** ARE THEY UP TO?
I saw someone wants to change the age of majority from 18 to 25 in some website.
I may be wrong that 18 was when the brain is finished. But they just changed it from early 20s to 25.
Also some say its 30 now.
Does it sound perfect and magical to you?
Just because of the way 25 sounds like. Huh?
But what is the actual source of this magical "25" number that is so often mentioned?
The earliest mention seems to come from a 2004 article published by the American Psychological Association titled Brain research advances help elucidate teen behavior.
The research also shows that brains don't fully develop until age 25 and that teenagers tend to depend on the part of the brain that mediates fear and other gut reactions--the amygdala--when making decisions, he said. That's important information for attorneys and judges to consider as they work with children in the legal system, he added.
The article is discussing the research of Jay N. Giedd, MD, who used MRI to examine the volume of child and adolescent brains. The specific research article is titled Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Adolescent Brain.
The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex, important for controlling impulses, is among the latest brain regions to mature without reaching adult dimensions until the early 20s. The details of the relationships between anatomical changes and behavioral changes, and the forces that influence brain development, have not been well established and remain a prominent goal of ongoing investigations.
Interestingly enough, at no point do the authors explicitly mention the age 25, and instead simply say "early 20s". The author of the review article by the APA seemingly extrapolated that specific number from one of the figures (Fig 3), as the data ends at age 25. This seems to be the earliest and most plausible source of the 25 number that is so often cited.
CDC is controlled by globalists also
CDC IS WRONG AND SO STUPID LOL
