Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Everything you write fuels bigotry against a hated demographic.

    Teens usually have less experience than older adults. So they will be at a disadvantage.

    You write that my posts have nothing to do with the topic, but my posts are the topic. You have veered off into totally irrelevant nonsense about neural pathways.

    The vast majority of brain development happens ages 0-3 and 9-13. We get adult brains along with our adult bodies during puberty. That is scientific fact. The fact that brains age even after puberty is not new info, nor is it relevant at all to anything. Our brains slow down as we age. Maturity is not always a good thing.

    re: “has convinced people that everyone under 25 is a retard” Yes. Sensational clickbait headlines about very unreliable fMRI studies did that. I am talking about public opinion here. You links to studies of tiny brain changes make no difference. Nobody cares. Read the nasty crap peeps write about under 25s. They have truly been convinced that youth are brain-dead morons who must be shunned if not locked up entirely.

      *says that teenagers are adults, claims scientific facts with no source whatsoever

      You have veered off into totally irrelevant nonsense about neural pathways.

      Lol.

      We get adult brains along with our adult bodies during puberty. That is scientific fact.

      Ha, good one. Your alternative science doesn’t quite fit the actual scientific papers I quoted for you earlier. Weird, right?

      But okay, I think now I understand the reason why you can’t understand the concept of maturity. Quite obvious, now that I think about it.

      Have a nice day!

        Odd how our bodies reach adult height and brains adult size during puberty :-)

        You have cherrypicked your sources. All of neurology points to very fact that brains develop very quickly ages 9-13 and then very slow change from that point on.

        but that data doesn’t support your bigotry, so you ignore it.

          Incidentally teen brains aged 13-15 perform best on several types of cognitive test.

          again, data that bigots choose to ignore.

            Teens are adults. We reach Tanner Stage 5 on average at 14 years of age now. This is not in dispute. The science is clear. You just dislike it, so you deflect to irrelevant garbage about some neural pathways that change a bit when you’re 20 :-D
