YOunger people are more idealistic and that’s good. They have more energy and drive to change the world. That’s good. Some older folks who’ve experienced a lot of disappointments – loss of jobs, death of friends or relatives, health problems, consider themselves more “realistic” about life. When I was in college, I understood the world intellectually. AS an English major, I read world literature and could analyze it brilliantly. Now that I’m 55, I look back and really understand those characters on an emotional level. Also, lots of kids your age seem very superficial and they’re always on the damned cell phone shutting out the rest of the world in our eyes. Just Curious

One can be whip smart at 18 but not truly mature. There’s a difference. Living and struggling, by definition, molds a person into a more aware individual. It doesn’t mean the young are stupid, just that they aren’t very experienced.
