“Our ancestors didn’t have time to be kids at 16. Life expectancy now is 77.7 years. Comparing her with 16 year olds from our history is misleading.”
Following that logic, then we shouldn’t expect our children to behave as responsibly as a 16 year old from that era, until age 30. The better way to see longer life span, is not as a reason to extend childhood, but that if will become that capable at 16, how much more life you can get out of 77 years.
I never said otherwise. I simply stated the way things are.
