Teenage, middle age, old age- which is really the best time of our lives?

Answer 1

I know you want specific examples. This is difficult because there are so many variable and exceptions to life during any age group. I would need to define "best time of life" based on What, I mean with what standard are you going to judge "best"? Maybe you will limit your ideas to one catagory such as "Ability to Serve Others" or "Most freedom and mobility" For one example, the fact that car insurance seems to be more costly for male teens and older people may be considered a negative. Laws regulating voting age, driving licenses,tax exemptions etc. might give you some ideas. I hope you have allowed plenty of time for this assignment. It is a great one. Sorry I can't be more specific. Your conclusion might be like mine, that there is no one best age group. To me, life is meant to flow and grow and change. Enjoy .

Too often youth is wasted on the young. But you can stay young at any age, it's all a matter of attitude. When you are a young adult you are carefree.. Others, like parents, make your decisions for you, but you don't have much. As you get older, you obtain things, like an education and career, maybe a family. You have lots more responsiblity, but the potential for more rewards. In old age you have great wisdom and can help others. Your body tends toward decay, but if you've lived life according to the rules, you feel a sense of accomplishment inside, a fullfillment that you don't have when you're young. Plus if you've played your cards correctly, you've got some financial security and don't worry about money anymore.

It's all a matter of persepctive and attitude. I'm almost 50 and when I look at teenagers today I'm glad I'm not back at that level, just 'cause I've grown so much better with time. It's nice having money, my own home, and best of all, the freedom to do anything you want.

Time says:

"Grow old with me, the best is yet to be"

Answer 3

I'm 67, and I think the best years are any age where you are safe and most of your needs are being met without having to sell your soul.
My grandsons are 16, 17 and 19. They have fun days and they have scary days. They have depression. They are elated. Everyday for every age is new. The more days you survive the more secure you feel.
No matter what your age you are the product of your minute by minute choices
My daughters are 40 and 47. They are raising their children and their grandchildren. They are caring for their husbands. They work and run a household. Any day when the bankbook is ballanced and the kids are in bed is a good day for them.
The best times of our lives occur in the moment. And believe me the older you get the more good times you remember. And the more you take responsibility for your actions the freer becomes your soul. As the old saying goes "That which does not kill me only makes me stronger." The best times of your life are right now and yesterday and tomorrow.
When it comes to making a tough decision between right and wrong, remember you want to go home tonight. Always chose the option that let's you go home when you want to go home.

Answer 4

The old saying "Be where you are when your there" is very true.. I'm 63 years YOUNG, and have had a very satisfying life...so far, But, the best is still to come.. I have 9 children, (6 boys & 3 girls) and so far 12 grandchildren...and Im still young enough and in good health to enjoy more grandchildren and later still maybe some Great Grandchildren...(one can only hope) I've 3 carears in my lifetime,Antique and Classic automible restoration, Professional Building Maintence, and now I'm a Mortician. I've Basicly done what I've wanted to do all my life, and enjoyed every minute of it, Few people can say that. I only hope that as I get closer to the end of my life that I will still "Be where I'm at when I'm there"

Answer 5

I believe youth is wasted on the young ones. Middle age - hmmm.... too many responsibilities. Old age: you can act as daft as you want and nobody would bat an eyelid. You can blame your memory for not remembering some annoying relative that you meet, you get pension and don't have to work, you won't be arrested for offences you could be if you were younger, no prison wants you in case you die on them, you can terrorise the neighbours and you've got a whole life you can think back on. So I say, old age is the best.

Answer 6

I preferred being 13/14 but that was a good time in my life, I dont think I'd like to be that age nowadays. Middle age is good as nobody tells you when to go to bed etc, but then you have other things such as bills to pay etc. Dont know what old age will hold, I'll find out when I get there. On the whole I would prefer to go back to when I was 14.

Answer 7

well from personal opinion its when i first discovered i was gay at the age of 36, now im 41 im not sure coz life is hard being gay, as in a relationship, looking at the overall experience ide say teenage to early 20`s as you have a laugh can do what you want and dont have any real responsibilities, as for me my 20`s was a night mare but not prepared to say why on here

Answer 8

for me being little was horrible, i couldnt wait to be a grown up, i didnt like school, i wanted to get out and work, earn money have my own house etc, and thats what i did, im 23 now with 2 daughters, my own house, partner of eight years, and for me this is since i was about 18 the best time of my life, i feel happy and content with where i am right now, i worry about getting old, but i know lots pf people who are retiring at the moment and they are really enjoying it, so i suppose thats going to be the next best time in my life, apart from watching my children grow up of course

Answer 9

I think teenage because this is when you plan the rest of your life. You go to school, party, make friends, have partners, have fun, and there are no restrictions as long as you stay in the law. As you get older you have more things to worry about (work, money, relations, commitments, health, etc).
