I read that you can see the first signs of agining at 20. I would like to ask the adults in this community about what they think about aging coz I think its freaky that people start to decline already at 20. How do you cope with that thought?

it's not scary. im 19, will be turning 20 in four months. aging is just a part of life, and i feel that with aging come some of the better things in life. wife, family, kids, house of my own, job, all that stuff is great. why fear aging? it's no big deal.

That may be true, some people do have very delicate skin. I know I have friends that are 23, who feel they have wrinkles. Maybe not but they seem to notice them already.
As for dealing, well, you can either accept it, and be happy. Or you can fear it, and be miserable. There is nothing wrong with trying to combat aging, taking care of your skin, good diets, etc.
However, if we get obsessed, we probably won't end up very happy. Age is natural, it's part of life. Even the most beautiful will age. It will humble everyone at one point, if they reach old age any how.
I'm going to try not to get caught up in that depression of age, as I begin to age. I'm young 23, but I am already trying to cope with the future, because I know I can easily become unhappy with myself later on.

It's gonna be ok. Believe it or not, aging is not so bad. I am kicking 40 right in the butt, and I am not upset at all. Why? When I was younger, sure, I looked better--BUT--I had no money. I had no home of my own. I was dumb from lack of life experience (and still am compared to a 60 year old). I worried constantly about every pound. I was constantly trying to impress my current boyfriend in case he was "the one". I am so much happier now. I have found "the one". I'm not so broke anymore. Sure, I'm not nearly as cute, but I am finally comfortable with myself. I feel pretty good about me, and I bet you will too when you get OLD like ME! Relax and enjoy your youth. Don't worry about aging so soon. It will happen soon enough, but the good news is.....it ain't so bad. CHEERS!

I'm 52 and life keeps getting better. People say I look much younger and most of the time I feel 30. It's important to take care of yourself: don't smoke, watch your weight. I just joined a health club. I only go two days a week, but I feel great. Other things I've done that keep me young: be with younger people (I teach confirmation, the kids keep me young), I went back to school in my 40's, I love to dance, tai chi or other energy work helps. Our bodies and our memories may decline with age, but we don't have to.

everything ages it's something that ABSOLUTELY no one can get past....as far as coping keeping that thought in mind ones focus should be on self. Mental & physical health are important to stability and understanding .............Be ALL YOU CAN BE!.....cuz your days are numbered from the time your born. ENJOY LIFE try not to think about things that you just can't control. Strive for "inner peace" and understanding will follow!...............40 yrs young and thankful.....

You don't think about thosr kind of things Link. I'm 48 and get told all the time I'm a little boy in a mans body. I hear all the time I look like I'm in my early 30's because I think young and I still get silly and laugh, even if I laugh at myself.People get annoyed at me but I don't care.Ageing is fun if you don't take the fun out of it. Your only 'declining in your mind if you fear it. ENJOY your youth and take chances in life, don't be stupid all the time but ENJOY.

age is awesome and powerful. With age you get better and better. You learn from your youthful mistakes and life is awesome.
Age is a mindset to. If you think you are old u will be. Keeping your mind in shape is as important as your body. .
also remember what the alternative to aging is.............
