Depending on your country but mostly around the world. You kind of stopped being a child at 11 or 12.
My parents and grandparents all had jobs by the time they were 10 or 11 earlier if you count land/farm work. A lot of girls were married and had children by 20. None or very few lived with mom and dad after age 18. You were expected to move out and be on your own by that point.
Compare that to today. A 22 or 23 year old coming out of college that has never had or been expected to have a job. A group of people who have had everything handed to them and still at 23 think the world owes them something for graduating from school.
It's easy to see why they looked 10 to 15 years older. Maturity wise they were.
