Things people do that irritate you when you go to the zoo? #2

[HungarianBison]

Even as a small child (under 10), I preferred to watch the animals rather than play on the playground. I saw them in books or on TV and it was just so cool to see them in real life. Most kids off that age were more fascinated with going to a theme park, but I preferred to go to the zoo every weekend.

I think most of us was (and still is) similar

After 10 is mature? More like 15 or 16 from my perspective...
I definitely wouldn't call 11 year olds mature, or 14 year olds for that matter.

15 or 16 is a very generous age for some people

 

[TeaLovingDave]

Behold, a bunch of 10-13 year olds patting themselves on the back at how mature they are

[Fanfin anglerfish]

I wouldn't call many of my fellow 16 year olds mature

 

[Fallax]

I definitely would not call most teenagers mature.

And no, sorry, but the members here aren't an exception to that.

I'm an adult and I don't even think I'm mature to be honest lol

 

[Zoofan15]

It’s surprising to see people trying to put an age on emotional maturity, like it’s attained overnight in alignment with celebrating another lap around the sun. It’s an individual attribute and difficult to definitively measure.

I’m sure we can all think of examples of classmates we knew when we were 11 that conducted themselves with more maturity than some people in their 20’s (or even older) do now.

I don't think people are really mature at 18 years, and teenagers certainly are not mature, you may think this but you are not totally mature at those ages. The original 'question' of this discussion was what age children should be to realize that they come to a zoo to look at the animals and not to go to the playground. With some people, this is different (as in me), but I think that after the age of 10, you should (start) realizing that you are going to the zoo to look at animals and not top play at the playground.
