- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

Yeah. As society becomes more complex, maturity and preparedness comes much later. "Growing up" takes much longer.
Go back a thousand years, things were much simpler. There was less to navigate and learn so "the real world" started much earlier.
Look at any other creature without society and see how their life unfolds. They're "adult" very quickly because within a short time they've got enough figured out to go out into the world alone.
Meanwhile, we're now at a point where it's normal to have a first child in the 30s and 40s, feeling completely unready.
