August 20, 2020 Young people want to be older to experience things hey cant as a kid and older people want to be younger to not have responsibilities. I think that younger people want to become older because they always hear the phrase when your bigger or when your older you can. Also even the if a younger persons were to consider themselves older the law doesn't recognize them as adults unless it benefits the government. Which also would probably trigger their rebellious side of themselves and want to try the things that they are not supposed to or meant to like drugs, alcohol, etc. Meanwhile older people who have experience and have dealt with many hardships probably would like to go back to a more simpler time. When they didn't have to worry about bills, or whether or not they would be able to have a full meal with their family. Also older people might want to be younger again to not have a care in the world be able to go to sleep at what ever time they wanted to or eat wha...
