Aww. I hope your Aussie friend has a great time in June.

Ah, I see. But no, today’s teenagers seem very baby-ish compared to how teens from a more zennial/millennial/Gen. X ilk were. Whether teenagers were officially recognised prior to the 1950s or not is irrelevant. They’re just not as world-savvy as they were even 10 years ago. Max off Corrie is an example of an infantilised, overly impressionable 16-year-old. It’s even worse considering that the guy what plays him (who’s a terrible, terrible actor) is actually like 20.

I haven't watched Corrie (or any other Soaps) in years so can't comment on that character!
