    Because old age is wasted on the young.

    Unfortunately, there is a disease called 'Progeria', that causes extremely rapid aging in afflicted children. They rarely live past ten. This is Kaylee...'Toledo's girl'. She died a couple of years ago. Very sad. She was quite the celebrity here.

    Progeria
    In this Article. Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), is a rare genetic condition that causes a child's body to age fast. Most kids with progeria do not live past the age of 13. The disease affects both sexes and all races equally.Mar 22, 2016

    I've known young adults who acted like old people.  I didn't get it when I was young and I don't get it now.  My  mother actually started behaving like an old person when she was still quite young.
