I think it's funny. Whether it's true or not is a matter of opinion, that of which I won't share in fear that I'll offend someone.

Recently we have found studies that show the areas of the brain that assess and comprehend risk aren't fully developed until age 25. However, that doesn't mean that everything that you think and do before that age is stupidity. I think people who judge youth through that lens are guilty of arrogance and small-mindedness. I also think that differentiating between stupidity and naivity, ignorance, and inexperience is crucial.

I think with time grows wisdom. It doesn't matter what age you are, you will always continue to become wiser than you once were. You will always feel as if though you know everything, and look back years from then and say "what was I thinking".

Let's see, I'm fifteen and just about everything I do and think is stupid. Of course according to this my answer can't be legitimate, you know, with the large cloud of stupidity that hangs over it.

Ha! So that is why I married my 1st husband! My brain was clouded with stupidity!!

I can't agree with this statement...the number of young people who take the time to share their ideas and thoughts here cancel this out, if nothing else. I do think that often the age group mentioned lacks LIFE EXPERIENCE simply because they do...This doesn't mean they are STUPID..anymore than a vaster age automatically means any of us will be WISE! I think our experiences in life...and what we learn from them, and how we apply them give us the greater chance for becoming wiser. There were many things throughout my life from say 16 to now that I was very bright and on target about...and somethings it seemed to take forever for me to comprehend that I wasn't using the brightest judgment in my choices!

Not stupid, but your not as mature. I think that there is some sounding reasoning to this statement, I'm 27 and I feel much more patient, tolerant, focused in a way that I wasn't when I was 17.

It's a terribly offensive way to make a point, when there are a dozen other ways it could have been said that would have made it more palatable. That being said, the fact remains that the teen brain is incapable of seeing "the big picture", as it is not yet fully developed. The teen him/herself doesn't have the experience to back situations they inevitable come across. It makes no sense to become angry with someone who cannot possibly meet the expectations of an experienced adult. These things work out in the end, but it takes time. If we can keep them alive during that time, then that is quite an accomplishment indeed. +5

I disagree. I'm only 18, and I could run circles (intellectually) around most adults I meet. I also have a more realistic outlook on life than a good portion of the adult population.
