I have wondered about that too, for years. it seems logical that it would severely hamper emotional development and the development of intelligence, impulse control etc. Thus the Muslims marrying girls off at an early age would be disastrous for the girl. Many interesting and depressing consequences here.
Well, apart from THIS... almost everything in our society stacks the deck against young people.
They stay immature for a VERY long time... some NEVER grow up.
I work with a young man who thinks the ultimate in life is traveling to amusement parks all over the country to ride various roller coasters.
He’s approaching 30. His wife has the same interest.
Every other week they both swap out their ‘phones’ for the newest, latest and most over engineered ones available... no matter what the cost.
Young people have NEVER got over their ‘monkeylike’ love of THINGS.
