    Can we stop extending “just a kid” into ever older years? Society already years anybody under 18 like they’re the same as a goddamn fetus. Human life expectancy being what it is, we shouldn’t be treating people… not even like they don’t know anything but like they couldn’t even conceivably know anything for fully a third of it.

      Is 18 years a third of your life given todays life span?

      Where do you live where the expected life span is just 56? O.o

        I think they’re referring to the 24 number op originally stated, that is roughly a third of the life expectancy for males at least.
