would you consider a 21 year old to be old,or still youhful?

I am 53 and still feel young. I don't feel as young as I did when I was 21, but I don't feel old, either. My mom is 80 and she says, other than physical limitations, feels young still, too. She stays busy, enjoys life and that's what it's all about. You have to look at each day as a new start. Do one thing each day that you enjoy, and one thing that you fear. Be adventuress and get up each day thinking, "Today I will be happy." The best years of your life are now, meaning every day you get up out of bed and are alive, no matter how old you are. Live until you leave this earth, every minute you can. My son, who passed just before his 24th birthday, lived everyday like his last and I am sure he never regretted doing that. Don't be afraid of anything!!! One day at a time is all you need.

I just turned 32 yesterday. Now I have room to talk about feeling old, . Naw, I don't feel old, but at 21, you have more freedom. 21 is still young, way young in my opinion. Now if your getting depressed about turning 21, I hate to see you when you hit 30. How are you scared to get into your 20's, your 20 going on 21, your already there. So don't be depressed. On your birthday in September go out, party, live it up. You only get to turn 21 once. My husband will be turning 38, sometimes I wonder if he's not 18, because he acts like it, . So even if you hit 21, 31, or even 41 and up. It's how you live and feel. If you feel 18, then you will live like it. So, don't let a number ruin your life.

I think you are still young, but I understand your thinking. I believe that we always wait to become a certain age when we are too young to do things, and we always long for our younger years when we get older. At least most of us do. I believe the trick must be just to be. be content and not worry about age. It is just a way of organizing and categorizing really. And it is true - you feel just the same when 40 as at 20. The difference is that you hopefully have experienced a lot more and are wiser because of it. beeing in your 20s is nothin to be scared about really. It is something to be exited about in my mind. Just think of all the exiting things that will happen to you! Hope you'll enjoy your 20s as much as I did. maybe you should try not to think about your age so much. I started forgetting my age when I turned 21. It worked really well for me.

ha ha ha ha ha ha... this is by far one of the best posts that I have come across that puts a wide grin on my face. My my, friend, you are only in your EARLY twenties. Long way to go to feel old lah! When I was your age, I was thinking of what I can do with my strength, my skills and my personality. Not worrying about how old I am. In fact, like what you mentioned, when you are 21, you are old enough to know, and too young to care. It is with this kind of attitude that will make life interesting for you and the people around you. With youth on your side, and a whole decade to enjoy your twenties, why are you fretting about it? And so early some more? Aiyoh, be happy and live life to the fullest. That is the best time to be at in life. The energy, the strength and the ability to take on challenges without having to fear what is the outcome till the challenge is conquered! When we are young, little kids, we always think about growing older. Dressing older in our teens and things like that. When we reach that age, we are thinking about how to become younger. Irony of life, isn't it?

If you feel old already trying to cross into 21, then those of us who are in our 40s or 50s will feel we are very aged...LOL. Most people who reach the age of 21 haven't really experienced life yet. Some of them are still studying and haven't even gone out into the working world to know what life is really like out there. To me, a 20 or 21 year old person is a youth growing into adulthood. It is a great age to be in, especially when you get your independence and start to see life differently. Actually, life is lived in different phases, and each phase is different. Whatever the phase one is in, life is to be experienced and enjoyed.

someone in their 20s is considered young. you are definetly not a teenager anymore but youre an adult. a 20 year old is still considered a young adult. YOUNG being the key word. dont worry! you still have 10 years until youre 30. worry about it then. 20 is nothing. atleast be happy that you can legally drive, drink, etc. embrace your 20s and dont worry about it so much.

Youthful of course. I would say I am young when I reach 50. Its a question of how you think. Each of life's stages are fun and exciting. You are entering the 20's and most people will tell you that it is the fun period of life, but also comes with it more responsibility. When you look back now you will miss the teens and the fun. When you reach 30, the you will miss both. Rather than taking it with any negative thoughts or emotions, consider it as an exciting journey that you are embarking on.

Are you kidding me? When you turn 21 that is when the party begins! In the USA, turning 21 is awesome. It means that you finally have complete freedom. You are still very young at the age of 21. Now, when you turn 40, that is when you are considered old or older. I am 23, and I am still considered young in the US. I met the love of my life when I was 22. Being 21 is great. When you turn 21, go out with your trusted friends, make sure you have a designated driver handy, and get drunk. You are 21, time to live!

Hi guzarnur, 21 is still very young. you know i am going thirty (30) and i still feel very young. so what more a 21 years old. You are still young and you should enjoy your youthful. dont be in a hurry to be old. thank you and always feel young. have a wonderful day.

I have read on this site that the longer the answer the better. In this case the only answer I can give is this, it is not the age but the person, their attitude, how they carry themselves, how they dress and how they look just to name a few. When I was 17 I ran for State office and almost nearly won. Out of seven people running in came in fifth with 200 votes difference between 1st and fifth (for two seats). I felt I was taken very serious by my adlut peers at the time.

Of you are still in your youth.Just enjoy every stages in life you have.You can't miss them.Its all fun.The only difference is every step you make it means you are getting into a stage of maturity.Besides don't worry about your age,fell young always.I am now on my late 30's but i am trying to stay and feel young.It is just a matter of how we will handle ourselves.

Hello there i am 30yrs old and I still consider myself a lot younger a lot naive coz I have only seen my 10yrs of responsible life as an adult. I have still so many things to learn from this world, so many more new challenges to face and then have so many years to see my little kid grow up. Age to me is just a number and its the mental condition that is what makes you young or old. If you feel that you are old enough at 20 then what will you feel once you reach my age . So learn to look at life in a positive way. If you ask me you havent even seen a tenth of your life yet. As Robert frost said I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep .

what? 21, old?? lol. I am 21. I feel great. It is definitely youthful. You are only 2 years out of your teenage years. Just look at it that way. If you are depressed now, how are you going to feel when you are 31, 41, etc. Just enjoy life now. Don't focus on your age because there is nothing you can do about it.

Oh, sweetheart, you are still very young! Enjoy it. It is just a number and, you are only as old as you feel. (Cliche, I know but, I finally figured out that it is true) My mom is 67 and one of the most vibrant, alive, and young people I know. Enjoy your life, every stage of it. Learn all you can at each stage and don't worry about the next stage. It gradually becomes something you don't even notice!*S*

They are still youthful at that age

And you are worrying that at 20 you are old? Old means that you can no longer function, you have given up on life, your hair is gray or white, you have wrinkles, and you have not that much time to live. Look I am 65, and my husband keeps telling me I am old, that suddenly something is going to go wrong, but I am not old. When I am ninety or one hundred, then I will be. You are still young. It is just that you are getting to the point of being responsible. That is not age or old, you can still enjoy the things you did before, it is just that you are getting to feel that life is more than hanging out with your friends.

guzalnur, Oh to be that young again. Please don't feel like you are getting too old. You are just at the beginning of the rest of your life. You have lots of good years ahead of you so enjoy them while you can. Age is just a number anyway. I am 61 and feel like I'm still young most of the time. I think young anyway, even though my body says diferently sometimes. LOL!!! Don't be scared about getting older. Remember that it is much better than the alternative.

Hello guzalnur. I think I understand your fear about being in your 20s. Most people have certain expectations of people in their 20s. For example, many believe a person in 20s should act more like an adult, go to college, find a career, etc. In some cultures, it's expected that people in their 20s get married, have a family, buy a home, etc. It is a lot of pressure! But, try to decide how you can make your life better, interesting, and more enjoyable and then do it. For example, if you want to have a financially responsible life, maybe college is the route to go. You will earn more money, make new friends, and find much knowledge there. You will make great friends during the 20s, probably even more so than in your teens, even though that is hard to imagine. Embrace each year of your life, guzalnur. There are always more adventures and good times to be had. You can create the life that you want. You will see. Take care. PearlGrace

Young, very young Hé, I'm 26 and I'm still young, so 21 is a baby to me. Don't make me feel old, I don't like to feel old. Have a nice day

gurzalnur I'm 21 and proud of it. When i was your age i had the same fairs, that I'll be looking and feeling old/older. And actually being 21 is not so bad and i too feel like 18 in my heart. As much as you will have more responsibilities and stuff, being 21 is not bad at all. Love yourself and your age. Every year that i get older i try to make that year a grand one. For i only get to be that age for one year.And i feel very youthful! So don't let the 20's get to you, being in your 20's you'll have a hole lot more fun!
