If You Are Tired of Being Hassled by Unreasonable Parents:
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION!
Leave Home and Pay Your Own Way
WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING!
That aside (and broadly speaking): 8-11 are the prime kid years, imo. Old enough to "go out and do stuff," yet still young enough to be regarded as "just a kid."
Early-mid 20s is great in terms of physical prowess. 40s is great in terms of coming to terms with yourself, appreciating your strengths and accepting your flaws. Beyond mid 40s...for a man, you reach the top of the "wisdom/authoritative" food chain: you become The Elder Male.
As for a woman, I'll just say this: the perfect combo of youth/beauty and experience/confidence is a woman in her 40s. Younger may have the better body (and more narcissism), but "sexy" is ultimately a state of mind; and confidence, the kind that comes with years and experience, is very sexy.

35.
You have maturity, experience, on average more stability than as a teen, depending on parents, or 20s, making your mark.
The whole age group, 30 to 39, really. At 40 you enter a whole other era, but the 30 something decade is just right.

At 11 you have your child-like mentality, which you can return to at any age, but you also haven't undergone the size changes associated with puberty and in this day and age that is not a good change for most people due to excess leptin.
When you're a child in mentality, you're fearless. You can only chase your dream, that makes for someone who has it made. It's the law of attraction.

It was in my psychology class. I'd do college, if I couldn't learn everything I could learn in college and them some through the internet and library resources and if a degree was actually worth more than the entrepreneurship my mother's business already offers me.

That's when the second growth spurt ends and yes, in that period it's easier to adapt, but you're looking at it wrong. The brain isn't a muscle that gets better the bigger or denser the muscle fibers are.
The brain is a dynamic organ; and you can in fact learn to learn quicker and better, regardless of age. That's why mathematicians don't reach their prime until they start suffering from dementia.
