Adults Answer Teens' Questions About Getting Older
video description
I think a big misnomer about aging that I was always told is the you get stronger part of it doesn't get easier, you get stronger. I don't think I'm stronger per say, things don't bother me as much because I don't go into it with the same hopefulness as I did when I was younger. It's not capability, you kind of have this response when it comes to similar situations you've faced in the past that impact your behavior, but it's not strength, if anything it's avoidance. You have a traumatic experience and you become better at managing pain and in the process you lose some of the hopefulness and optimism. You're just traveling the same paths quicker because you don't deviate from them as much as you would before when you were inexperienced. But it's not intelligence and it's not strength. It becomes habitual.

Age doesnt give you anything, experience does. There are 60 yr old cashiers at the grocery store who dont have an ounce of the wisdom that you will have if you spend your years wisely & just do what you want.
Just get out there, whether you make good or bad decisions learn from them & keep growing. It's the only way you'll mature.

I'm a teacher. I thought this video would be more about like. how kids age. Why in the world do teachers specifically need to be asked about how they age? Why not just ask random people instead of teachers specifically? Please stop using teachers to pull views. Either make it relevant to teaching or not.

There is a sweet spot of maybe 8 years where your skin calms down, and then at the end of your twenties your hormones start acting up again and your skin can become problematic again. I have more skin issues now than I had as a teen, and my routing hasn't changed in years. So take care of your skin!

That fat black girl has some issues. Some people don't gain weight, some people actually do work out and you constantly bringing up the fact you want to be skinny is just sad, if you want that then work out to get to that or accept how your body is

I was going to say, wait till you're 70 before you talk about aging, but the speakers seem to be pretty wise. (But, to the man with an ankle full of screws, get a compression sock and you'll feel much better.
