+224 It's really annoying when kids/teens get an attitude and say things like, "you think you're so much smarter than me just because you're older!". Well yes, I do, I've been around longer than you, and when you are older you will understand why that makes such a difference. amirite?

Age doesn't necessarily mean intelligence, there are some pretty stupid adults/older people around so you really can't assume that JUST because you are older that you're smarter

Actually, smartness or intelligence is dedined not by how much you know but by how fast you process your environment or by how fast you learn. So kids are smarter at the moment, but it's more about wisdom, how you know to use your memory to your advantage in life.

And when you were younger you said the same thing. We all have.

Pshh. I know plenty of people just as naive as they were when they were younger. Age doesn't always mean wisdom.

Age is not what defines us; it's the choices we make.

It depends on the child and the adult. For instance, I'm smarter than Jessica Simpson.

A half dead squirrell is smarter than Jessica Simpson.

I agree. Age does a lot for a person if they're not stupid to begin with. There are sooo many things I know now that I didn't when I was 17, and I'm only in my early 20's. Can't imagine the things I'll know when I really start getting up there.

There are definitely plenty of adults in the world that I'm smarter than. And it's really annoying when those adults think they have authority over me. There was this one lady helping my youth leader's wife with our bible study, and all she did the whole time was say a bunch of cliche phrases as if she came up with them, we've never heard them before, and she was shedding some pretty deep insight on us by saying them. I'm sorry if I don't appreciate being talked down to by somebody just because they're older than me.

My sweet daughter, I've taught you well.

That would depend greatly on what you're talking about.

Age doesn't mean more intelligence at all. Wisdom is more likely to come with age than intelligence. Although they go hand in hand, they are different. And any one who claims authority and higher intelligence because of age is extremely condescending and ironically stupid.

Age has nothing to do with intelligence. What you're talking about is life experience only and that doesn't really matter when it comes to fixing a computer or schoolbook stuff.
