Instagram is like a box of chocolates you never know what the next video short will be about...

King of Misfortune Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) This is something that intrigues me greatly. I spent several year working in an expat community where people are more or less ageless. Since returning to the UK, I have been made to feel like a person who spends their whole life counting the juvenile stones bouncing off their bungalow windows. I've only been away five years. Is late 40s the new George Burns chic? Edited January 4 by King of Misfortune 1 1

Butch Posted January 4 Posted January 4 In the West, well UK at least, kids aren't in a hurry or under pressure to grow up and mature as much as they used to be. Education to 18 is mandatory, when in the 70's and 80's leaving school at 16 or in some cases earlier was more commonplace. Getting a job and earning your keep was more of a priority, and Uni / College / Polytechnic for the lucky few. Nowadays, kids see insta and FB kids their own age becoming millionaires, there's no sense of urgency, no sense of reality (as mentioned) and not much sense of responsibility. When I was at school, we were reading about WW1 and learned that many officers and soldiers who were in their mid 20's were seen as "old boys" back then. 2 2
Lirchenfeld Posted January 14 Posted January 14 (edited) Nothing new. I am sure that when you were a teenager, you would also think someone aged 50+ was old. Edited January 14 by Lirchenfeld 1
