You have it the exact opposite. This very question IS the problem. We now have 32 year old "kids" living in their mom's basement.
OWS is entirely made up of 20+ "kids".
In the time of the revolution people did not die at 35. Do not be silly. Ben Franklin and other lived to be nearly 100. And going back to even ancient times, perhaps centuries. Yet the Jewish traditions were adulthood at 14.
Adolescence is a 20th century psychological invention, intentionally devised to dumb down a society.
The average college graduate today would FAIL the end of year test of the 18th century 1st grader in the New England Primer.
Our low birth rate, declining population, abortion, debt, immigration, 100% of all our problems can be traced back to this 20th century German Socialism called K-12 education.
