A given person's definition of "old" is usually about 15 years older than they are. My boss is 65 and calls 70 year olds "young".

When I started using dating apps I found 24 year olds too old. I still have that impression memorized but it's wild.

Welp, I don't know when from the memory is, but I do vividly remember thinking about how damn old those 14/15 year old 9th graders are. Could be 1st grade.

Basically as if the life ended at 20, and they were soon to retire.

I remember fearing high school kids. I wasn't even sure how old they were, just that high school was a jungle and any kid who went to high school was dangerous.
