Is 25 years old still young?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

The United Nations defines youth as persons between the ages of 15 and 24 with all UN statistics based on this range, the UN states education as a source for these statistics.
I've always teased people on and over 25 as "old", and in a few months I'll reach that age, thus joining the "old people". I already have some grey hair lol.

I lamented to my friend that soon I'll be 25, and that I'm feeling the old age creeping up on me.
She said it's not so bad, and I said - "You are wise, grandmother".
She's 34, and now she won't talk to me.

Being young vs old is subjective, a 16 year old might look at a 25 year old and think they're insanely old, while a 60 year old might look at a 25 year old and think they're still a baby.
If we try to look at it objectively and generally speaking, at 25 a healthy body is at its peak when it comes to physical abilities, everything is working like it should and the brain can understand and use as much information as it will.
The brain is often still under development in the late 20s, even if it's at the later stage, so seeing that age as old when they're not even done with their growth would be a bit ridiculous.

That's a well written and mature answer.

Good answer except 25 is mid 20's, not late 20's

[Girlygovroom]

@Someone80004 I was speaking on the brain's development when I said "late 20s", to point out that even after turning 25 or older, your brain might still not be fully developed. I think you're capable of understanding the context if you give it another shot.

Of course it is! The United Nations is full of BS!!! 😡😡🤬🤬🤬 I f****** hate seeing people assuming that once you turn 25 or 30 your life is over. I'm not saying that you (asker) think this way, but many people do.
Or that you only live when you're young, that's not true at all!!!

[Someone80004]

@menina Well-said.. There's a lot of ageism in society, especially towards women. It's like we still in the Middle Ages or something..
I mean if the average human lifespan is about 75-78 years old, 25-30 isn't even half..
Plus age is just a number. You're as young as you look and feel

[menina]

@Someone80004 Thank you! I'm glad you also understand that this is wrong.
I agree, women are more criticized and judged once they reach a certain age. It's so stupid!
No, it's not, I agree. If you're lucky enough to live until you're 75 or 78 at 25 you still have a lot to live.
I absolutely agree with your last sentence! Unfortunately our society disagrees.

Don't flatter yourself. You're "middle aged" not "old".

Now both we olders, and your youngers get to laugh at your mistakes, and judge your life choices. You've still dues to pay yet, kiddo.

25 Is The right age to marry, so it's still young.
In our church WE define The youth departament as The age of 16-29.

[Someone80004]

Of course
Think about it: the average human lifespan is about 75-78 years old, so 25 isn't not even half that number from a mathematical perspective

[WhitneySnow]

It’s not as young as 16 but it’s still
pretty young

[altaboy]

From the perspective of a 49 year old, yes, it's very young. I was still figuring out the basics of life at that age.

[Christian65]

I'd say anyone under 30 is young, but maybe that's just me coping 😂

[Rockstarrrrr]

I think anyone under 30 is young

[Subarugirl]

I am 25 and noticed my first grey at 22

[Anonymous]

Seriously? Of course it is.

[TacosRAwesome]

Still young enough.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

"Young enough", that's just what I needed to hear!
