Because yours isn’t fully developed yet
brains change until the day you die, it's the blessing/curse of neuroplasticity
i saw this meme the other day of an image macro that features a still image of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants with a distorted facial expression, accompanied by a caption in which the letters are alternately capitalized and lowercased. The meme is often used to express a mocking or sarcastic tone in response to something someone else has said or done. The distorted facial expression of SpongeBob is meant to convey a sense of derision or condescension towards the subject of the meme, while the alternating capitalization in the text adds a sense of emphasis and mockery. it was actually pretty funny
I get legitimately annoyed when a b**** on twitter brings up how our brains aren’t fully developed until 25
It’s always connected to some s*** about age gaps in relationships too

It's a blessing if you get a new lease on life
Spoiler alert: It's a myth that's been misquoted and propagated by pop culture.

Your brain is never done developing, the studies just ended it at 25 years old for their sampling size.
It's the same thing as "you only use 10% of your brain". Total nonsense.

Based response. You know what's right and wrong.
it’s cause u smoke too much weed as a youth so ur brain will never finish developing now
It's a blessing if you get a new lease on life
yeah just also means they can easily adapt to really poor patterns of behavior and also they can be more easily exploited

isn’t the development done in 20s much different than the one occurs rest of ur life like the rate of growth that’s why people focus on 20s brain development

So that's apparently what was "thought" because of the idea that your 'prefrontal cortex is fully formed at 25'. However the studies that supposedly 'supported' this are flawed entirely; The test subjects that they used ended at 25 years old; so the sampling method was incorrect in the first place.
Then there were also subjects that were as young as 21 years old that had a 'fully formed prefrontal cortex'. Along with that too, the arguments that you're 'not fully an adult' because you don't have a fully formed prefrontal cortex doesn't mean that people 'can't make rational decisions' is entirely wrong.
The only reason that this became a thing was:
1. Overly obsessive pop culture fans would constantly misquote this study so for example; Billie Eilish "can't consent" to dating someone about 9 years older because she's "not an adult and does not understand rational decisions".
2. People are just cucked by the agepill and don't want to grow up and take responsibility for their actions.
3. Because of dumbass articles like this: refinery29.com/en-us/brain-development-age-gap-dating
TikTok is designed to undevelop brains
The thing about it all instantly changing the second you turn 25 is cap, but it is true that the brain of like, a 16 y/o and a 21 y/o are not comparable in the slightest.
There’s a reason why you aren’t allowed to vote and s*** until at least 18
You are better than this op. Don’t set yourself up for humiliation. (Unless you’re into that, not kink shaming)
Been smoking weed since I was 12-13
Tried coke for the first time when I was 15
Tried black tar heroin in the bathroom of my credit retrieval high school when I was 17
Almost 10 years later still made over 100k last year
Everything school told you is a lie
Just because it’s fully developed doesn’t mean you can’t be an idiot
You're just a fully developed idiot now
