Maybe, but it's definitely true that the frontal lobes are typically significantly underdeveloped in the under-25s, resulting in impulsive behaviour with less caution and poorer long term decision making.

There's a time in your life when headlessly jumping out of the nest is absolutely the order of the day, and it's late teens and early twenties.
