Could the psychology of a 15 year old and an adult age 25 and up be the same?
I think it could, but i am not sure; for i am usually dealing with hi-schoolers…
I would be immensely surprised to find out two people have an equal psyche to begin with however there may be a 25 year old human and a 15 year old human whose psyche is very similar in comparison to others. I believe age does not determine wisdom, if that were the case, then two people with conflicting arguments of equal age would both be right because they are both of the same age. Or I should follow Sadam’s example because he’s older then me. Adults have told me that I am simply wrong because I am too young to understand.
Poppycock I say!
I think you are the figment of someone else’s imagination.
Re:your question:
I doubt 15 and 25 are sutiable ages for partners.
But it is interesting to note that chronological age
is not necessarily an indicator of emotional age…
Some adults being incredibly immature.
theres a saying that goes…
“Dont look at whose talking, look at what hes saying”
yet some adults are much too immature, stubborn, and prideful to even listen to what i say… sometimes it gets me so angry… especially wen i think about something for very long and come out with a conclusion and tell it to an adult… and they take it like a joke and only laugh at me…
these responses taught me to act quiet in there presence… because they wont even bother to listen…

I think the psyche of adults and children are much the same. In fact, that very stubborness, to ignore and shun those of a lesser age, and count their voice useless, explains everything.
When you were 15, did you listen to your 7 year old sibling?
Or put heed to what they said?
people grow up with this odd impression that, because they’ve survived longer, they’re entitled to more. In the case of those active adults who do everything they can get their hands on (both in sexual and non-sexual terms), it may well be warrented, because their extra time was probably put to some use. But most of the adult community just idles and wastes away their time with their normal, everyday routine, where as the world as viewed by kids tends to change drastically, constantly offering to expose them to more.
Just remember the two mantras of parenthood:
“When you’re older…”
“You’re too old for that…”
yeah… sadly
i agree…
we should be developing though…
not all 15 year olds should listen to what they hear from others including children…
but all 25 year olds should take in everything they hear and use it only to make them better…
the lack of this within society… is sad…
Good choice of words gemtry/Che Guevara.
Its not what you say thats the important thing, but how and when you say it.
This may come off as rude, but I have nothing better to do at the moment than be picky: the answer to your question is no - totally and utterly impossible. The reason for this is simply because of your use of the word ‘same’. Choose your words more carefully.
That acknowleged, I assume you mean something along the lines of, ‘Can the psychology of a juvenile resemble the psychology of an adult?’ Likewise, the answer seems a bit obvious: of course it can.
If you’re experiencing adults who do not take you seriously, it is a symptom of one of two things: either you’re thinking yourself deeper and more experienced than you are, or the adults in question are not worth the energy to begin with. Not exactly the answer you want to hear, I’m sure, but I don’t think there’s much more to it than that. Moreover, assuming the case is the latter, what you’re describing isn’t necessarily going to go away: what you’re calling ‘adults’ now will soon be replaced with ‘people’ when you get older.
Get used to it. And choose your associations wisely.

what do you mean by psychology? maturity level? intelligence? someting that can be counted and measured? or just overall way of life–which moves away from psychology into other areas?
Sexually, sure, intellectually nope. What to talk about after sex?? Probably not much depending on the 25 abd 15 year old intellect. Even so, emotionally, they are probably worlds apart.
I was wondering the same thing, it seems to be a little broad.
When I was 17 or 18 I had a friend who was 14 who was intellectually more mature than many of those of my age. Now, she was emotionally immature, but 25 year olds are hardly the paragons of the virtue of maturity.
In an exceptional case, yes, they could be ‘the same’ within reasonable parameters.
pfff… how do you measure that anyway? 
Probably not because a 25yr old’s brain is/should be fully developed whereas a 15yr olds frontal lobe hasn’t fully matured.
I strongly belive that a 15 years old hi-school student has a totaly different way of thinking than a 25 years old adult.
A 15 year old had notgot the opportunity to develop himself fully so he might still be strungeling with life problems like sexuality that a 25 year old already figuired out.
Taking myself as an example. Now almost 19 years old and way more developted than 3.5 years ago. At that time I was unable to solve all my issues that I faced during hi-school like with boy friends. I made some terrible mistakes that I would never make at this point in my life.
My conclusion is that a 15 year old cannot be the same as a 25 year old.
Hassooni-
If you practise philosophy, this will happen to you for your whole life. Get used to it, it has nothing to do with anyone’s age.
Sexually? Most definately.
Intellectually? Yeah. A little harder to do, but there are very stupid 25 years olds, who resemble 15 year olds, and very smart 15 year olds, whose knowledge rivals some college graduates. Both populations are rare, but the exist.
Emotionally? Not a chance in hell. The experience that age gives is without comparison. Whenever anybody says, “I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger” they don’t mean, “Damn, I wish I could have use a lentiviral vector to transfect hematopoietic stem cells with a wnt5a overexpression construct” what they mean is, “Damn, I wish I had gotten over myself” or “Man, why was I such a duschbag?”
Emotionally, there can be no comparison between 25 and 15 year olds without some serious mental retardation coming into play. Even then I’m not sure.
I think many 15 years can easily be more mature than their 25 yr old counterpart. Depends on many factors, but some 15 year olds have literally raised their siblings and fed their families where the 25 yr old with the trust fund has probably spent far too many hours at his playstation dreaming of getting the upgraded version, never had a job or any responsibility other than deciding which American Pie movie is the best one. Age has little to do with one’s wisdom or maturity to me. Last I looked, most 15 yr olds know absolutely everything.
I couldn’t resist, sorry.
