yeah i do admit i went a little too far with my statement. but generally it is that way, it's all about life experience you know? which comes from age, people who are older than you have a great advantage over you cos they have been where you are at the moment, but of course it all varies as with everything else. supposedly a 30 year old will have more knowledge than a 17 year old, but yes i do agree that the degree of maturity varies considerably from one individual to another... but i'm a sociologist i base my ideas on generalisations
