'Aging' and 'Old'?
Ok, because teachers are evil, my Sociology teacher assigned a paper over Spring break. I need your help. If you could please send me 10-12 words that you think relate to 'aging' or 'old' you will be my next best friend (after the 15 people I have already promised die.) So for example, you might think that 70 is 'old' so that would be one of your words (or phrases) Please give your answers in list form. I have to get 14+ people this next week. If you do choose to participate, please include your Age, Gender, Location, and Ethnicity as these are all part of the assignment. If you don't include them I have to guess. Thanks everyone
Please give your answers in list form like this:
1. 70
2. walkers
3.
4.
etc
thanks!

There is no specific age where someone becomes 'old'.
I'm an American white male over seventy, still write 10 to 16
hours a day, drive wherever I want to go, travel to Europe
every year, etc with no limitations.
I can 'take down' the best karate expert going with (literally)
one finger and with my back to a wall beat down an army if
one came at me.
If a person has a sickness or disability, that is an impairment.
If a person is born tall, short, heavy, light, whatever - and
learns to handle things as they come along, age is no more
than a way to the end.

The difference between young and old is 30 years, and you are right in the middle.
I.E. At 20 yo a 5 yo is young, a 35 yo is old.
At 60 yo (that would be me) 45 yo would be young while 75 is old.
Try it, it works every time.
I know this isn't a list, I may be dense but I don't understand exactly what you are asking for. I am 59 yo, male, live in Northern California and am white.
Hope you can get something usable from this.
