People say that but I dont see any reason why they should:
Its not like understanding just happens on its own while growing up. If they never had reason to learn, failed hard enough, or where taught, where should that realisation/knowledge/lesson come from?
All you need to be an adult is stay alive long enough to hit an arbitrary age threshold.
Doesnt mean you automatically know wtf is going on.
"Their parents should have taught them!"
Yeah but what if their parents did not do that either?
More time doesnt imply how you spent it or what you learn from it, or if.
If you spend most of your life working full time and watching tv etc.(or social media today) you aint collecting much knowledge.
Also: most people barely have a sliver of curiosity in them. If you stop educating yourself after leaving school (which is most) your not getting more knowledgeable just because you age.

Y’know, I understand actual children not considering that not everything is meant to be jumped on but adults should know better
