Well I usually hear people telling me “you’re too young, I’ll tell you when you’re older”. But I don’t usually hear “you’re too young to understand.” There are some things like politics and other complicated things that my parents say I probably won’t understand. Often times my parents will say “you can’t watch this movie because there are some things you’re too young for and you won’t understand.” There are some relationships between age and wisdom because if you’re a two year old versus a thirty year old then the thirty year old will make wiser decisions and be smarter. But it’s unfair when parents say you won’t understand because you’re a kid. Kids can be very wise if that’s how they are. Even some adults can be unwise and get into trouble.
Kids are wise, and I agree with you 100%. There are some things that people are too young for, but it isn't fair for them to say that we won't understand. Great blog (:
People used tell me ALL the time "you're too young to understand". I used to hear it literally all the time any time people older then me were talking and I would say "watcha talking about" they would say you're too young to understand. I think it doesn't have anything to do with wisdom I think it's adults just don't want kids involved in a lot of things which doesn't make sense because they were kids at some point too and they don't seem to get that we don't really care what they're talking about but we just want to have fun with them.
I can't remember a specific time that someone told me I was too young to understand. But I'm sure it happened a lot. Since I am a very curious person I usually want to know what adults are talking about. I am pretty sure that they have told me (when I was younger) that I was too young to understand. Now that I am older they tend to tell me what they are talking about. I guess it could be really annoying always being told "you're too young to understand". I believe that there is no relationship between age and wisdom. For example, people (such as my family) have told me that I am a very mature 13 (12 when they told me) year old. They have said that I am one of the most responsible children they have seen.
There has been a few times in my life where someone has told me, "oh, she's too young to be hearing that" or "you're just too young to understand". This really annoys me because you never know if someone is going to "understand" unless you tell them, right? That being said, I don't think that there is a relationship between age and wisdom. If you are curious enough to ask and get involved into the conversation, you deserve to get a straight forward answer no matter what your age is. It doesn't mean that you need the person to understand what your saying, but it's definitely worth a good explanation so that people can understand. There is definitely a boundary when it comes to age appropriate knowledge though. If a child is too young to know the conversation topic, you really don't have to tell them. In these cases, it's better just to stay quiet or don't go into detail.
My dad is constantly telling me that I don’t understand how tired he feels every day after work. He keeps on telling me that sooner or later, once I get a proper job and responsibilities, that I will eventually understand. The thing is, he always goes to bed at 8:30pm, while, by time I’m finished my homework, I rarely go to bed before 10:00pm. If anything, I should probably be complaining that I’m the one that’s tired, not my dad.
I do believe however, that there is a relationship between age and wisdom. I do believe that age makes one smarter and more experienced, and therefore, wiser and better informed. In the case of the level of fatigue my dad and I experience, I don’t believe this has anything much to do with wisdom, but rather more to do with the fact that he has a job where he is on his legs all day, and constantly needs to calculate different things and stay vigilant and alert. He analyses drugs for a big Pharmaceutical Company, so has to deal with a lot of stress knowing that he can’t make a mistake as people will take the medications. I know my dad is really wise though, so I do accept what he tells me. I can only hope, however, that I will continue to have the same level of energy I have now when I’m older.
My mom is always telling me that it takes a long time to save up for a vacation because of the bills… then she'll say 2 minutes after that: "oh I forgot your too young to understand all that." I do think that there is a relationship between age and wisdom,because I believe that the older you get the more knowledge you gain. I also believe that you are smarter because you have more life experience. For example how money works (interest, bills etc.).
No one ever tells me i'm too young to understand something because if they do i'm gonna make them tell me even if i don't end up getting it. I'm the kind of person that always wants to know what's going on. I think that age does have an effect on wisdom because as you grow up you learn new things and you become smarter. For example Mr. Katz is probably way smarter than me only cause he's like 100 years older than me and he has more information in his head. But once i grow up i hope i'm gonna be smarter than i am now
Well, there's one that's pretty obvious about... erm you know, the birds and bee's. Also plus information about more complicated science and things I wouldn't actually understand. Age does have a huge relation to knowledge, because the older you get, the more capacity your brain has to understand more complex things, that nobody young would comprehend, so it has a huge relation.
well yea everyone has at one point i was told that when my mother and father divorced and i asked them why they said "you're too young to understand" and i was kinda angry and i kept telling myself i was a big boy and when ever they wanted me to said something i'd say "you're to old to understand". and so i did that and i got in a lot of trouble so yeah but now i understand why.
When I was little I was told " you're too young to understand". Whenever my parents friends would come over they would always talk the stock market and taxes. I would always try and listen to their conversation so I could figure out what they were talking about. Sometimes I would ask " what is that?", "what does that mean?" they would always say would try to explain it and I wouldn't get and then they would say that I was to young to understand. I think that the older you get the wiser you become. For example a 12 year old is immature but a 32 year old is wiser.
I think that it all depends on the person , not their age. For example there have been many times where I, the youngest member in my family, was right about something or had to explain something to somebody else. one example would be just recently at the dinner table I said that we needed to do a project on autonomy for ethics and everyone was left with a confused expression and asked "What's that?" and so, I had to explain. However there is a reason why people believe that older people are wiser than younger people, and that is because, for the most part, it's true. Most adults will know more than children because they've simply been around longer and learnt more, however in some rare (or often in my case) a child may be smarter than a child.
As a kid, I was always really curious and I always wanted to know everything. And I would often ask “What are you talking about?” And people that were older than me would then say “You’re too young to understand.” That response always annoyed me as a kid because I would think to myself “How could they assume that I wouldn't understand?” Many children are wise and and it makes sense if the kid really won’t understand but they still deserve a straightforward answer.
When I was younger I wasn’t really told “you’re too young to understand”. Maybe it was because I didn’t ask certain questions or that I was just quiet. I do think that you get wiser with age. When you are older you have experienced more and learnt things from mistakes, adventures and success. If you compare a 50 year old adult to a 4 year old kid there will be an obvious difference in intelligence. When you are a little kid your brain hasn’t fully developed and you haven’t learned because you haven’t experienced as much as an adult has. Even when you are a teenager, you’ll be catching up to the intelligence of an adult, but an adult will still know more about life because they are ahead of you with age. I think there is definitely a relationship between age and wisdom. At some point in your life, (if you haven’t already) you will notice it.
I've been told many times I would be too young to understand for many different reasons. Adults underestimate us of how much we know. I believe that wisdom isnt by age but by your maturity level. Some kids are more mature then others and take serious topics seriously. Many times I've been told I was too young to hear a conversation was with my parents. It's usually about either money or something personal.
When I was a child I was told by my parents and sometimes my cousins "you're too young to understand". I was around the age of 5-10 when they told me this. I think that there is a relationship about the age in this situation. For example, if your 6 years old and all that you know is kindergarten stuff, I'm pretty sure the child won't know things likes, bills or taxes. You have to have the wisdom to know what others are talking about, or else you will not understand. I remember once when my older cousin and I were talking about high school, and about exams. My little sister was very curious and pretended like she knew what we were talking about, but in reality, she was really confused.
When I was very young, once in awhile my parents would tell me that. Most of the time, they told me that I was too young to understand when one of my parents told a joke to the other. I would usually ask my parents what the joke meant because I was very curious when I was little and because I never understood most of those jokes. I would always ask them to clarify it so I could understand and every time they would respond with the same thing,”you’re too young to understand”or “you’ll understand when you get older”. That used to really annoyed me. I would always complain and whine so that I would find out what the joke meant. But they would always come up with someway to distract me.
Honestly, I don't find that tehre is a relationship between age and wisdom because even though all I hear at home is "you're to young...I'll explain when you're older" but we all know that conversation will never come up again in 10 years. I don't think that there is a relationship because some kids understand more and I don't see what's wrong with learning things early so to me, it doesn't really make total sense.
Age and wisdom have nothing to do with each other. Wisdom is something that is learned. If a 12 year old is wiser than a 32 year old, thats ok. Age is a number, how long you have been on this earth. Wisdom is leanred along the way. Some peoples minds are wiser because of tradgety, mental battles (internal conflicts), sadness, etc. A time i was told i was too young to be wise was when i was at my first elementary, my teacher told me i was a bratty ungrateful child so i couldnt be wise, so i proved her wrong.
When I was younger and still now I get told that I'm to young to understand things. Usually when my extended family from my dads side is over and they make jokes and I don't understand them. Most of the time it's because the jokes are in Italian but even when they are speaking english I don't understand their jokes. My parents usually tell me that I'm too young to understand. My parents under estimate me, but sometimes I understand. They also tell me that I'll understand when I get older which I don't understand because I probably won't understand when I'm older. I get really curious sometimes but my parents usually distract me so they don't have to explain it to me. -Sierra Toto
When I was younger, I was always told "you're too young to understand" or "when you're older, you'll find out" by my parents and family and sometimes other adults. I would always get annoyed because I was a very curious person and I wanted to know more, but I couldn't. My mom used to explain things to me like why I shouldn't bite my lips and why I should brush my teeth twice a day. As I got older, I learnt my lesson about my teeth because I had gotten 9 cavities, so I understood why my mom used to tell me that all the time. And now, I take care of my teeth as best as I can. I don't think that their is a relationship between age and wisdom because it all matters about your maturity. There are some kids who know more than people that are maybe a few years older than them and there are kids that understand something at once instead of a person that is older that has to sometimes think before understanding.
I was told that i have to do whatever my parents wanna do for a long time. My mom and dad always are trying to plan my future and i just hate it, so i told them one day to stop and they did they stop[ having so much of a concern for me and i like that because i can plan and do whatever i want
I have been told that I am too young to understand something many times but I think that age is just a number.I think that kids are just as capable.But on the other hand adulds have been alive longer and have seen more so they are more knowlegeable about more things.Any way I think that It depends on what you have been though to understand something but that does not necessarly have to be an adult.
