Should a 24-Year-Old Still Qualify as a Teenager? New Science Says Yes
>Turns out, arrested development isn’t just a brilliant sitcom on Netflix. This week, a group of researchers from the Royal Children’s Hospital in Australia announced they want to expand the period of adolescence, traditionally defined as the ages from 10 to 19, all the way up until a person is 24 years old. That’s right, in the future, people might still be called teenagers even though the wordteenis no longer included in their age group.
>This idea of extending adolescence isn’t exactly new, though. In September of last year, a review published in scientific journal Child Development found that teenagers today were engaged in considerably less “adult” activities than teenagers in the ’90s.
>The review, which analyzed data collected from a diverse group of more than 8 million 13- to 19-year-olds from 1976 to 2016, asked teens what they did in their leisure time. The report found that teens today hit major independence milestones, like getting a driver’s license, an after-school job, and an active dating life, much later than young people did 20 years ago.
>For instance, 1 in 4 high school students don’t have a license by the time they graduate, in comparison with baby boomers, who on the other hand, were mostly driving by the spring of their senior year. To the delight of parents everywhere, teens today are also having less sex than Generation Xersandare going out much less—12th graders today are out of the house far less than eighth graders were in the ’90s. In other words, 18 looks like the new 13. So can we really call these people adults by the time they head off to college? Probably not.
Brayden Collins
Good, that means all teenagers are fair game now.
Carson Sanchez
I swear, between shit like this, and the #MeToo movement, they're really trying to rob women of agency, just so they can be hedonistic and destroy the nuclear family even more.
That means the teenage refugees will actually be teenage

look at song content. Teenagers and young adults of the past were creating music with very adult themes even more so before the 90s. Think The Doors - Back Door Man, Jim Morrison must have been 19 or 20 when he wrote a song about fucking someones wife and slipping out the back door when the husband came home.
Dominic Myers
The Doors fucking suck.

>youre still a teen goy remember to stay in school until youre at least 25!

They're literally just trying to ride this out until everyone is on the government dime and in their control. >"Oh don't worry you can't be responsible until you're 26..." >"Oh gosh, I mean 40 is the new 30 anyway..." >"hurr durr oh shit you're dead" Fuck off. Grow up.
Ayden Reyes
I bought a house at 24. What the fuck is this bullshit.
Jeremiah Perez
Jim Morrison didn't write backdoor man; it was a cover. Plus, it was a double entendre for anal sex (backdoor) and eating pussy (chicken).
Austin Ortiz
Brain finalizes development sometime during your 25th year. So when you turn 26 you're definitely done. >tfw I can't take people under the age of 26 seriously anymore
Dominic Hill
>dont bang 25 years old teenager plox..

That means we are going to jail now. Jesus christ!

Consider it a blessing. You can attract teen girls yet still be their "daddies"
Levi Wright
Females should stay in their fathers possession till this age ( unless married off ) so they don't slut away.

That, or there should be an option to join a nunnery or non-combat, same sex military position so that young women don't end up in huge debt or become instant turbo roasties.

Video games have chained our children to the TV all day all night. No reason for teenagers to leave the house anymore when they have an endless source of entertainment right at their computer/couch.
This will be the true death of western civilization.

>all men have always seen their mates' wangs when growing up for a variety of factors but now blown up and out with the advent of the internet and various web sites >women join them too now >i'd imagine quite a few tits are making up for the more old school discovery of pornos i find male female social interactions fascinating. and i believe nothing is new under the sun. but if anything. the youth today are like any other youth. and the old like the old. the old have ALWAYS complained THE SAME SHIT about the young. and the young never have any voice. that is not exactly biblical. yes you should stone a rebellious son but most of the time this stuff is temporary and spiritual stuff to Christians. but kids it says will trip out and bring metaphorical swords to their families in order to defend Christ. and they'll forbid marriage, before Christ returns. and woe unto them bearing children and so forth and so on. men and women are fighting more. families might be in fighting. the old and the young are fighting more. but this stupid and weird news article is saying we have no right to call the young risky because theyre doing too much baby stuff. is in reality ALL about MONEY. the young are worse off. and they hate credit cards and actually making babies in a sense. so theyre showing all these things. and the lies of the article. and proving all this Bible stuff. when you old men see visions and your young sons prophesy

If you're a homosexual who is not the "top" but instead mutable or "bottom" then you can find a place in this world for yourself. But being taken seriously will probably will very difficult for you. I met a guy who was obviously homosexual and a bit smaller than you and he was tolerable right up until he flaked on something important. Don't be flakey or overly "flame-y" and you'll be ok.
Serious question, not trying to troll, do you think your height in any way contributed to your sexuality?
Gavin Cooper
I'm only an inch taller. I think the height thing may be a meme unless your ego revolves around the first impressions of bar sluts. I'm usually to busy tripping out about this technocratic cult Confederacy of Dunces nonsense we're in, so I think it mostly comes down to general vanity. Like obsessing over a mole instead of your job
Oliver Cox
Can confirm.
Joshua Wright
baby faces have the potential to be cute kind of like you intimate. but plain hot men can also have tinges of baby face. it's something too subjective in my opinion to put down to status of activity or passivity. but nice post. it interests me

Ayden Foster
>flakey or flamey Neither a problem for me. Most of my coworkers don't know I'm gay until they end up asking me about something related to it. I'm also crazy about my commitments. I feel a lot of guilt when I disappoint someone I like.
As for my size, I wouldn't say that it contributed to my orientation, but it definitely influences my taste. I'm bisexual, I just say gay because I prefer men a lot, and I think that has more to do with my Dad dipping when I was very young, plus a rough step-dad a little later in my childhood, than it does with me being short and petite.
Connor Roberts
I get ID'd buying cigarettes for my buddy.
Christian Cook
well. put it this way you uncle tom. there's no word for daddy fuckery. only mofo is thrown around. so stop being this little submissive freudian thing. geeze. all the best. i mean that but i think you sound like a sock muppet or simple liar. the way you said your height. the way buddy asked you if it related to your fake gayness. are these convos set ups? im starting to think so

Non-biologically related males in family households are never a good idea around kids.
Is it as straight-forward (heh) as it seems? Dad left so you seek out what you were deprived of?
Adam Johnson
>straight forward reminds of "heteros" now >more daddy questions >more may mays to find your balls somewhere freud invented all the orientations' words for them and said androphobes have daddy issues. your dad doesnt have to fugg to make you his dad. you have a Father as well. it's the man who gives you what you have in life that you call your earthly dad. you peasanf
Evan Peterson
I bet this is a ploy for old roasties to raise the age of consent.

Charles Cooper
A 24 year old is almost too old to have healthy children. Honestly a 16 year old should be an adult.
Angel Rodriguez
> my Dad dipping when I was very young are you claiming to be a victim of second-hand chewing tobacco or is this some new meaning of the word I'm not familiar with?
Carter Perry
pfft. this is gendered too. men can have a kid prolly til theyre 120. women maybe 55, 65 tops
Leo Rivera
I love this place. More than a decade and it's never dulled. Pretty hard to say. I have cousins, twins, parents perfectly normal and together, raised together. One of them turned out super gay, brother didn't, so I'm not saying I'm bisexual because of it. I'm guessing it's a hormone thing. However, you're right about the dad thing as it relates to my taste. I just have a big preference for older, dominant men. Especially guys in positions of authority like police officers or officers in the military. Big surprise, my step dad was a marine. I think you've got a decent grasp on what I'm getting at here.

Ian Cooper
ive heard men like women who smell like their moms. ive personally noticed but not heard a confimation on this elsewhere that men tend to pick wives that look like female versions of themselves. i dont like how that guy is talking. i just read what he put to you. waaaaaaa my fucking parents divorced like everybody else's did so no straight people are attracted to dainty shit or to their moms at all and all im about as a fag is openly saying i want to replace the male component of the divorce. unlike straights want when theirs divorce with their moms waaaaaaaaa
Cooper Morgan
If youre over 18 and the concept of responsibility is still foreign to you, you forfeit your right to exist
Austin Flores
I don't think that user is whining/crying about some silly Freudian stuff, I think he's making a measured point. If you've been here long enough to actually be an oldfag and you hate this place that much you ought to take a break. But you already knew that.
David Gray

Liam Parker
Thanks, I appreciate the best wishes. You too. Wish, listen, take your meds. I'm not saying my parents divorce ducked with me. I didn't have a dad for the first 5 years of my life. I don't think it made me gay but it definitely left a great big daddy sized hole in my heart that gives me embarrassing fetishes and a submissive nature. Plus I cry anytime media utilizes father child relationships. Fucking Jews.
Angel Richardson
Well* not wish, ayy lmao
Jayden Kelly
im an enfp. it makes me puke every time. but im what they call a champion personality type and i love life and see it as a gift of constant potential. i want to change the world. so i see how the fish rots from the top. and i stay away from the top of the fish. also. the fucking fish that swims away from the current is the one i respect. pro freud pro jew shit is exploding. and you two are just more of the same. ive seen maybe three out of tens of thousands of anons who are decent and normal people on here
Jason Harris
Does this mean we might finally push the drinking and smoking age to 25 like it should have been all along? Fucking over those degenerates would be fun.
Wyatt White
Does this apply to all races, or do some races have longer adolescent periods? It would seem that niggers remain in adolescence throughout most of their life is why I am asking.
