Stages of life.

................

 

I would have to say a big negative to this one....

Everyone's mentality is completely different so there is no way that this can even be remotely accurate...

And may I ask what's with the numbering system you got going on here..

 

age... i'd say from observing those ages.. the majority of people have a rough atitude relating to what iv'e said.

 

So those are ages... So at age 1 through 5 my mental state would be greed, and age 6 and 7 I would get the jist of sexual attraction, really? I am just really interested in knowing what you based this off of? Because I would have to completely disagree with you...

 

Look up Jean Piaget's stages of cognitive development.

 

I'm just using it as a very very rough stereotype.. most children are all about 'want' at the 1-5 age. If you had to choose a generalization as to what 6-7 year olds are like then i think alot of people would agree on what i said. By sexual atraction.. i mean they know what marriage is.. etc .. you know the whole 'i'm going to marry sam when i'm older' kinda thing. I don't mean they feel sexual atraction.. but they start to understand that whole concept.

Theres nothing wrong with stereotypes.. they are just generalizations that have a certain amount of truth for the majority of people.. and i'm just asking what you think about the ones i said..

 

I am still an infant!

 

i'm 11
:H

 

It sounded pretty solid to me

 

Hehe.... I'm not sure I'd call 18-20 "maturity" :lol:

 

I think this is less an age-related developmental issue and more a reflection of what has been taught. How much of what others judge to be age-related limitations affect what they tell and how they tell young people. I doubt 6-7 year olds can grasp the concept of sexual attraction... they're just imitating what they see.

 

Depends on the person. I've met 30 year-old fuckheads and 17 year-old people who show great character. The law of averages says that until someone has actually fallen down in life they won't get the wisdom to grasp the concept of picking oneself up. Sheltering children can do so much damage in the long run.

 

I don't know, man... when I was in kindergarten/1st grade I had this HUUGE crush on this boy who was two grades ahead of me in school that my mom babysat. It lasted years... I can't even describe it really but I know I felt some pretty intense things and I remember I was embarrassed about it and him.... like our lunch table was loud and had to stay in from recess and I knew he'd laugh at me so I came home and hid in my closet....

 

hahah oh yes, i was so mature at age 20

I LOVED girls early on too. In second grade I was so happy that I got to sit next to this girl named Amy Beth, then I went to the bathroom on the last day of school, and while I was in there she threw up and went home.

I longed for her all summer

then she grew up and became sort of a retard in high school and dated literally he dumbest jock there was

 

Oh yeah. I totally agree with all that.


I'm just saying though... a great percentage of 18-20 year olds... well, even though they have likely matured some since age like 16-17- they still often feel invisible, do dangerous things, think they know more then they do, etc.....

 

Well- we all walk a different walk. My loins didn't ache for a female until I was in 8th grade. Could be I was a late bloomer too...

 

Hehe... or it could be that I was a strange kid... there are other things I did in like pre school.... :leaving:

 

Age is a terrible thing to categorize people by.

It's just a silly number.

 

I'd say up until around 16 years old it's hard for people to mature at a faster rate than anyone else.. so categorizing before that age is fairly acurate.

 

There have been popular theories about this. Jean piaget was mentioned, and theres Erik Erikson who said that everyone has to deal with a crisis successfully at each stage to move onto the next, or developmental problems will occur. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosocial_development
