I just meant it doesn't make anyone wise by default ;)

There are lessons you can only learn by living through them, no doubt about it.

I think I just don't like these type of posts where age is used as some kind of source of authority or to set expectations. Old or young, like a post that says "I'm only 16 and I did X".

It doesn't diminish the accomplishments or anything and maybe it's just better marketing at that point..
