Biological Age Vs. Mental Age

Age is just a number. How young is young and how old is old? One thing I know for sure is that no matter what age that person is, his/her mental age is definitely not the same as the age written on his/her birth certificate. Believe it or not sometimes young people whom we consider as "children or kids" know more than the so-called "adults" do. Each child grows differently according to their surroundings. When children are brought up in a tough surrounding where they are forced to be independent and mature at such early age, you'll be surprised how mature and adult-like they can be over the years. That is why people shouldn't be fooled by age and numbers. Have you ever met adults or old folks who don't act like the way they should or have mentalities that they shouldn't have since they are called the 'adults'? Yeah, I thought so. Annoying isn't it? Sometimes it feels like we are the adults and they are the children. It is definitely not fun at all to switch roles and be the voice of reasons all the time. Don't you just wish you could be a kid just for once?

The older you are doesn't necessarily mean the wiser you'll be. Sometimes even old people can be foolish but that is one of the many realities they refuse to accept. Adults and old folks are extremely stubborn when it comes to advice. They refuse to take others advice especially their own kids and the ones who are way younger than them. They failed to realise that sometimes even children or youngsters are able to give amazing advice when in need. It doesn't necessarily mean that if a particular person is giving you logical and good advice but since he/she is way younger than you, you should just push them away and throw all of the advice into the dustbin. That just means that you are being egotistical, stubborn and foolish. Unfortunately, some youngsters act and think like pre-school children. Therefore, all you can do is let time heals their brains. So people, listen up! Don't underestimate the power of psychological age. Don't be stubborn and foolish. Stubbornness and ego will bring you no where. Ignore the age, take the good advice.
