20 years old is not a "child"

Since when did we start referring to a 20 yr old as a child? I hear this all the time about 18-24 yr olds - being referred to as children. I believe they used to call them "kids" if they were your offspring (like as in "My 20 yr old kid won't get a job."), and called "adults" otherwise.

They keep referring to the Idaho students as "children" when they were 20 and 21.

When do people become actual adults today?

People don't? Unless it's an older guy who calls everyone younger than him "kid" in jest.

I donโ€™t even think 16 is a child. 16 year olds can work with adults

No idea but it's ridiculous. It probably changed when ****g0t kids started waiting until age 30 to move out of their parent's home. You're an adult after age 18 FFS

Yeah it's dumb. By 20 back in the day a dude would already be married with a couple of his own kids.

That's a grown ass man. There are no children in college.

thatโ€™s just an adult in the eyes of beta society, around 15 is an adult.

Go back 200 years and say 18 is when you become an adult and youโ€™d get laughed at

20's not a child but the brain doesn't fully develop until 25. The body isn't fully developed by 20 either

So you're not actually a fully formed adult at that point even if you're mature mentally

Most aren't mentally mature at 20

I am now 31 and I remember when I was 20. I feel so much different now how I think. I was literally a child back then. But maybe some are late bloomers.

this is not true and is common misconception from a BS study

Years of research and testing indicate that the brain is functioning in full adult capacity by roughly the age range of 14-16.

In a nutshell, it is only considered bad if a straight man is enjoying himself. IE, Leonardo DiCaprio rotating 20 - 25 year old models in and out of his life is treated more seriously than adult women teachers having sex with underage male students. ("Wow, she's hot! He's lucky! Hyuk hyuk hyuk!")

Meanwhile, drag queen story hour? Brave! Chopping up kids genitals and chemically castrating them? Stunning! P3d0s? Call them Minor Attracted Persons, bigot! Biden sniffing and groping little kids? He's just old-fashioned!

The only time these ****gits actually hold nonces accountable is if they are also priests. But it's more about dunking on Christianity than holding the nonce accountable.

You know what's not fair?

Life expectancy and health improvements impacts humans over the years as technology progress, yet society doesn't properly acknowledge this in tandem!

Life expectancy has gone up from 50 in 1900 to 79 in 2020. Larger than a 50% increase. Yet ~18-20 years olds being the cut off for kids as the expectation hasn't changed. Now that 80s+ years olds are common place, perhaps the 30's should be where maturity is expected.

Could have a point...I know it is fiction, but weren't the hobbits in LOTR basically teenagers? Yet Frodo didn't even start his journey until he was 50.

On the other hand, these azzholes on the left want 16 year olds to decide their gender, opt for hormone treatment and/or surgery, and they should be able to vote. Can't have it both ways.

OP shroud reference the zoomers moving in with their parents thread. That is why 20 YOs are refereed to as children now. Some of them over there are actually proud of it too. Sad!

Watching freshmen in college and their moms are literally coddling the fuk out of them. One "clever" mom posted in a group that she is making her son's dorm bed with layered 7 sheets so he just has to take the top one off when it's dirty. Um - there will be liquids on the bed seeping through to the other sheets but that's beside the point. Why is she making his bed?

The easiest way to tell if someone is a kid or an adult, is if they get arrested.

If an 18 year old blonde is arrested, especially if theyโ€™re female, then they are a โ€˜kidโ€™

If an 18 year old black or Hispanic is arrested, then they are an adult

In clown western world a 17 yr old fertile lady is a kid & anyone that fuks her is a p3do unless he is same age as her.

As If taking 17 yr old or 27 yr old dik is any different. Sheโ€™s getting Fโ€™ed regardless and that makes her NOT A KID!

I was just transferring to my second duty station in the navy at 21. Was married with two kids too.
