+291 Older people (19+) tend to be a lot less cliche, judgemental and emotionally unstable than younger ones, and that's why they're often looked up to. amirite?

You'd imagine so, but then you get to college... Truth is, if someone's emotionally unstable in youth, it only multiplies as they grow.

That's true if they have good reasons for being emotionally unstable that don't get resolved, but a lot of the time teenager's emotions go up and down all the time because of things that they learn to handle once they're older.

I think they just appear and just hide it all cuz they're adults and they have to. My friend's mom got sent to the hospital once because of medical issues that resulted from her bottling up her emotions too much for too long.

That happens, but it's not just about hiding emotions. Younger teenagers make a big deal out of small things because it's the biggest thing that's ever happened to them and they don't know how to handle it, but to an experienced person it's not a big thing. Also you can easily tell by looking at high school students compared to people in their 20s that younger people confirm to cliches and judge others a hell of a lot more.

Who the fuck looks up to 19 year olds? There are crazy mofos in every age group, age does not equal role model.

17 or 18 year olds? Around 19 a lot of people start to make less of a big deal out of things that don't matter and be happy more of the time, because they've been through enough to know what's important and what isn't.

No they haven't, not at all. How old are you exactly? That shit's just plain not true.

I'm 18. I have friends of all ages but I find the older ones to be more mature and drama free, and a lot of my friends have become happier and nicer to be around as they've got older. I just finished a year-long course and lots of the people on it were arrogant, stereotypical and didn't care about anyone but themselves, but they were all aged about 16-18, and the older ones were just calm, stable people who got on with it and were easy to talk to. Of course they haven't been through enough to know EVERYTHING about what's important and what's not, but something seems to change in the way they see things. It's just something I've noticed wherever I go. Maybe it's different in your country, or something.
