I still feel that the Adolescence article is fine in its definition of what an adolescent is since as I stated before adolescence doesn t just end when a person turns age 18 or age 19 Also yes I consider a 13 year old a child If you read the Child article which I added to a week ago you will see how the definition of Child is also defined And you did get a grin out of me when you just now stated that that a 14 year old has more similarities to a 5 year old then we do to a 40 year old mainly because we are also immature in ways even though I don t necessarily agree and I don t feel that watching cartoons or any animations necessarily means immaturity Hey I watch Death Note Okay yeah Death Note is a mature animation but you get my point and I get yours I m basically stating that a 17 year old for instance in reality is not a child as a 7 year old is Yes older people sometimes call a 17 year old a child but a 17 year old is not a child Also when I think of adolescents I don t usually think of 13 year olds and 14 year olds though I know that they are usually adolescents so again I get your point in calling those ages children All in all you are what a I believe to be a rarity most 17 year olds would not want to be call a children I know I didn t And you are one year or is it more so months for you from being age 18 I m 25 but still get mistaken for a late adolescent sometimes and I m not sure if it annoys or makes me me feel good that maybe when I m 30 I can still pass for age 19
