Dude, why are 19 year olds in the same category as 25 years olds? Not even close to the same stage of life. Seriously 22/23-30 would be more appropriate.
I'm just saying.
(Plus I thought by 25 I'd be past being lumped in with teenagers . ) |

To each their own, Becky.
From my experience, once you're past college and pre-having-kids, it doesn't really matter your age. |

yes. to each their own. im getting ready to start college. teenage years WERE pre having kids. starting at 19 makes ages a little different i guess. I'm 21 now, and I don't like being lumped with teenagers.

Hi Allibean,
The reason I did that was that I was looking for a college (19-22) and then grad school or early career (23-25) demographic. When I look back on my life, yes there was a huge difference between 19 and 25, but that's really not the point of the survey. 23-25 is basically part of the "young adult transition" to some psychologists, also.
I was also trying to cluster 5-6 years at a time. My primary reason for the poll was to ascertain how many people here are over 30, anyway.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of hosting 10 foreign exchange students. I have visited some of them in their homes in Europe, and my wife has stayed with all of their families. We are in the stage now where we have a lot of them coming back to visit us. In the summers we have past students stay with us, either vacationing or interning for the summer at a US company, as this looks very good on a resume.
Yes, there is a reason I'm bringing this up here. We live with these students for 10 months when they are 16 to 18 years old. Then we live with some of the same students for 3 months when they're 21 to 25 years old. Since we haven't seen them all that much in the intervening years, differences really stand out.
The biggest difference we see is in confidence. They are much more confident when they return after a couple years in college. It's hard to determine how much of this is age related, and how much is other factors. The students we get are very smart, but are from eastern European countries that had been under communism, so their families don't have much money. They know a college degree is extremely valuable to them, but they know they have to qualify for a full scholarship to get that degree. The entrance and scholarship exams hang over their heads.
Once they are established in college and are getting good grades, they feel they can take on the world. I don't have the experience with the ones not going on to college, but I expect there is a big increase in confidence as they see they can make a living and support themselves.
A teenager's lack of confidence leads them to show bravado to try and keep their lack of confidence from showing. It's this bravado that gets them acting goofy. Once confidence sets in, they look more mature even if age alone hasn't really changed them much by their mid twenties. |

Yea, so I'm 20 and I definetely don't feel adult like yet....
Cause, you know, technically since there is no '-teen' in my age anymore, it means im not a teen anymore 
But I still act twelve which is always cool *thumbs up*
