Concepts: Age

Define age. How long an object or organism has survived on this plane of existance. For us homosapiens we tend to count in months and years, generally speaking. For example, what we would call a 2 year old toddler would actually be 63072000 seconds old. Some organisms could never survive that long. Fact. In perspective to the aim of this post, the minimal age for a year 11 student at the age of 16 would have an age of 504576000 seconds. Wow.
Next up, what's with the concept of the yearly age? Widely established ages such as 5 for first educational rights, 16 for legal intercourse rights, 18 for purchasing certain items. How about we look at 15-16? Nice group to look at, as I can give first hand opinions and facts. But first, to avoid later confusion, let me explain the 'age line'. The age line occurs in the lifespan of every human, usually around the ages of 11-13. Any time before this line is crossed, and the human does not want to cross it. They wish to stay as carefree as their younger selves. Any time after this line is crossed, the human wants to grow up as fast as possible, disregarding certain law's like the "legal age". Hence, there seems to be a connection between all humans in the respect that they want to be older or younger. This line is instantaneous, ergo, once crossed the change is quite sudden. Most likely to occur around the twelfth birthday.
Anyway, back to talking about the ages of 15-16. At the tender age of 15, most male humans are pumped full of testosterone, and vent that via kicking materia balls or other humans around. Occasionally, a male will attract a special attention from a female human, usually close to the same age. This is achieved via pheromones, which have caused more fallouts and breakups than any solo human emotion. Once a connection between the male and female is established, the male will be raring to obey the primal insticts. To mate, in short. The female will usually be more withdrawn, making the males excersize restraint down to a complex feeling called Love (Explained in post Concepts:Love). However, being at the age of 15, the male and female cannot engage in such activities, and so frustration and mixed emotions frequently drive the two apart.
Some say this age is too early for love at all, that humans should wait until they come of age at the age of 16. Perhaps some humans should. Some female's are fooled into thinking they love a male, then break up with them out of insecure, inconsistant reasons. This in itself can tear apart even the stoic heart of some of the more emotionally sound males.
However, upon reaching the age of 16, the pressure to GET a mate of sorts amounts endlessly, down to the 'friends' of the human concerned. This is unfair on all humans involved, and is potentially life ruining in the worst case scenario. This also forces males and females into intimate interactions with each other against their own fully consentual will.
Perhaps we all need to stop what we're doing and take a good long look at what's going on with other people's feelings. Then maybe we can all resume or change our lives so that the harmony between the once peaceful congregation is restored.
I have two words: Good Luck.
Personally, I have found my harmony. I have no explicit reason to care whether or not one of my friends fucks up my best friend's emotions. Stop. Look around. If need's be, I offer a safety net to some. For now. To the other's, The hardest of lessons bring the greatest of benefits. From the biggest failures comes the chance of a flourishing success. Nurture it, and it will nurture you in times to come.
