At what age are you no longer young?

Question

When do you stop being 'young'? When does youth end?

hahahmm · Accepted Answer

When you stop letting your parents control your life. Now some people think that’s when they openly rebel or move out of their parents’ house but I say it’s more about when you are aware of all the subconscious rules/teachings your parents put in you & you reviewed them and decided which ones to keep and which ones not to. This takes introspection. But the other more obvious/easy way of measuring it is if you have adult responsibilities like paying ALL of your own bills. Or feeding yourself from scratch most of the time.

No age. It’s all proportional.

At 15, all adults are old, and lame. Everyone over 20 is old.

Then you reach 20, you realize that’s not the case. Suddenly they don’t look so old. You think anyone 30 or 40 is old.

Once you hit 50, you and your friends think 60 is old, but that 30 or 40 year olds are young.

It’s really about how young or old you want to be and feel.

Depends on the person, my grandmum is in her mid seventies she has more energy than most 20 and 30 year olds have. So maybe it's when you feel old or accept that you are old, like mane a state of mind. That is if there are no physical aging issues limiting you from doing those things you once did. When you start using thiose issues as an excuse not to do certain activities, maybe that's when you are old.

BeMuse · Answer

Who knows… I suppose it depends on your family history and current medical technology. Most people died by 31 in the 1300 so you were probably an old man at 20. My grandfather lived to 97 and my grandma will hit 100 most likely in the few months. So to them maybe 60 felt like they weren’t young anymore. In the near future a number of technologies will be release that will push the life expectancy higher, so maybe you’ll be 80 or 90 before you start think I’m too old for this shit.

It must be sometime after 83 because when Bob Barker retired from the Price is Right he said it was because he wanted to retire while he was still young.

I keep reminding my kids of this when they tell me I'm old.

Depends on the person and it depends on the perspective of the person who answers this question. I have heard of 80 year olds refer to people who were 65 as being "young"... LOL Overall I would say, maybe the cutoff is 45? But it is just a number.

WindowLicker · Answer

I'm saying that 25 is when you can no longer use youth as an excuse. You don't become an old person beyond 25 but you can't claim to be a child anymore and you can't hide behind naivety. You are more than old enough to be responsible for your shit.

DianaWest · Answer

i'd say 35. on average. some ladies look great well past 50 (ahem, my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother).

Udbhav_Bantwal · Answer

Physically between 30 to 40 for different people. Mentally, it varies from each person, someone can be 25 but not feel young, someone can be 60 and still feel young...

ItzLaura · Answer

Technically at 25 you stop growing and your body slowly starts dying
