To: Jane Long; Mr. Jeeves
I heard an author of a book several years ago. It was a book called the Facebook generation or something. He said that based on numerous studies, the age of “adolescence” has increased over the years.

Back in Jesus’s day, one became an adult when they were ready to have children - so 12 or 13 or so.

In the 50’s, adolescence was something like up to age 16 or 17. He said adolescence in American males is up to the age 32 or something in some studies now!
