When it comes to organizing social life, one of the most fundamental categories that sociologists recognize is one's age (Smelser). However, chronological age is less important than the subjective age the person identifies as being when it comes to their alleged maturity level (Bowling). Subjective age is one's perception of their age and can be defined as ones job satisfaction, financial satisfaction, self-esteem, health, education, or how old someone feels in comparison to others in their specific age group (Settersten). There has been a growing interest by the social sciences in the subjective side of aging in ones early life course, along with the simulated maturity that one gained throughout their youth (Greenberger and Steinberg) and the understanding from young people on what it actually means to become an adult and mature through their youth (Arnett). The theory that a few children and adolescents develop and mature faster than other children is not an entirely new idea. The literatures on economic disadvantage and divorce each show the lives of children or teens being accelerated. As a matter of fact, Weiss children coming from parents that were divorced helped those children grow up a little faster, and frequently, there is indications in recent research that younger people in the later years of their teens going into their adult life that were lucky enough to come from married biological-parents feel younger than their counterparts and do not consider themselves as mature as those living in single-parent households (Benson). Similarly, persistent with Elders depiction that the lives of adolescents living during the Great Depression and having to grow up in an economically pressed family, similar systematic studies of people and cultures suggest that children and teenagers of poor inner-city youth mature faster than children living in homes that are doing better financially (Obeidallah). Feeling unsafe in daily life and other conditions of privation or stress, in conjunction with family disruption and poverty, are key hardships in accelerating ones subjective age (Johnson). In this day and age, we view the identities of other beings and the identity of their subjective age more broadly, as how other scholars have also done in the past, as a part of ones beliefs about their self (Elder). By its very nature, it is the role of oneself to identify and assess their chronological age, subjectively (Johnson). There are many different things society deems to be the the socially agreed upon standard to evaluate and compare oneself to others, for instance comparing one's roles and other structural features and those expectations are the ones that escort behavior in interactions. Identity theory, a family of views on the relationship between the mind and body, clearly links ones self to roles via social structures. Naturally, the identities is defined as construct meanings people attach the roles that they play, or, by preference, ones own role expectations (Stryker). As a result of society assuming when one should undergo these new roles and when pop culture deems when it is necessary to
