Under the age of 24 is still a child

People are only fully mature when 24, and under this age still behave like children. That is the conclusion of Professor Suzane Sawyer, Institute of Children Research and Professor George Patton at Melbourne University (Australia).

The two scientists claim that the prevailing hypothesis now suggests that adolescence starting from the sex-maturity stage and ending at around 18 is not right.

According to the theory set by these two scientists, although teenagers were partially recognized by society as adults like smoking and interest in sex since 16, they were entitled to buy alcohol and quit votes in 18, but actually at this stage they are still juveniles.

People still think and act like children before age 24 .

The girls' brains are still unable to fully comprehend the dangers of alcohol and drugs, understanding at a very superficial level the risks themselves may have. They still easily die due to injuries or accidents that older people avoid are not difficult.

Because of not assessing all the dangers, there are about 1.8 billion adolescents around the world who are at risk of becoming alcoholics, having sexually transmitted diseases. internet addiction, suicide and fighting at school - researchers cite.

Young people both male and female 18 years old are now different from those of their age 50 years ago. Back then, at this age, many people were married, even having children (in most countries 18 years old had the right to marry).

In order to protect adolescents, scientists propose to actively promote their healthy lifestyle, promote family control, limit the sale of alcohol and tobacco ( when the law has not been amended yet) and strongly prevent the spread of drugs.

Let us recall that scientists have previously mentioned that bad habits in adolescents are closely related to sleep. They have found children who are between the ages of 3 and 5 who fall asleep poorly when they grow up between the ages of 18 and 21 easily get into problems like smoking, alcohol and drug abuse. The cause of the bad habit is that they often suffer from fatigue, stress - the consequences of sleepless sleep accumulated from childhood.
