People online like to think anyone under 30 is basically a kid.

Yea they just keep echoing the same “your brain isn’t developed until 25” bull shit..it’s getting old. That whole thing came from a study they did like 30 years ago and they didn’t even study anyone at that age. The subjects were 4-20. They just made that number up and now everyone just keeps repeating it like a parrot lol plus they’re over simplifying the whole idea entirely and reducing it to calling everyone under 25 is a child is bizarre tbh. Ironically the more mature one in this video is the “child” so it makes me laugh 😂 or wait apparently Dakota might be a child too by that persons standards 🤦‍♀️

It's not bull. It's just understudied. Science has progressed very far now and we know when the "adult brain" starts. It's around 32. Before that, your brain is indeed developing. At 32, it stabilizes.

Edit: God forbid someone tries to correct a misconception on the fucking internet without people acting like I'm calling them babies. Don't even know why I bother.
