What exactly do you kids consider a "Senior Citizen"?
370342
Well, I'm a gerontology student. To me, age is nothing but a number. Yes, it is true that most companies/govt/policies ect, consider 65 year olds "senior citizens". But don't buy into the typical characteristics of what that means. I think it is awesome that you are active and still feel and act "young". Don't buy into the stereotypes. Aging as we know it is rapidly changing.

A baby boomer is someone who was born during the period of increased birth rates when economic prosperity arose in many countries following World War II. In the United States, the term is iconic and more properly capitalized as Baby Boomers and commonly applied to people with birth years from the span 1946 to 1964, which may comprise more than one generation. The Baby Boom is the iconic term widely used to refer to the American population and culture in particular, as post WW II demographics abroad did not mirror the sustained growth in American families over the same interval.\n\nSo, baby boomers are between 42 and 60.

I'm 85. I guess you'll have to ask someone older than me!

there is no "old" age. You are as old as you feel

None.  I had a classmate in law school who was in her 50s.  She had been a kindergarten teacher for 20+ years before that. One of her former students was in the group of law students a year behind us!

I have an 85 yo mom who is no different.  At this stage, they require "prompting".... just as children do.\n\nI've been taking care of mine for five years, full time and it's a challenge.  I struggle for methods to "reward" and "prompt" cooperation.\n\nPatience is a virtue developed for those caring for parents at this point in life - Best of Luck.

I read a label on a product that reads: For kids 99 years old and below. Does that count you?

35. Yes I consider myself to be old. \n\nOne key way to tell is when you have to go see the doctor more frequently...LOL. But in general I dont feel old. I love going to amusement parks all the time and riding coaster, keep on top of all electronic trends like I use to, still watch cartoons, and still play video games.

Senior citizens are a wealth of untapped knowledge and wisdom of any civilization.  We as a people can't know where we are going unless we know where we came from.  By tapping into their wisdom we can learn from past mistakes via first hand knowledge sometimes people can teach you what not to do as well as what to do.  Since we all are going to be senior citizens one day, or we hope to be, it would behoove us to recognize their value.

Both are acceptable, although Junior and Senior and more often used.  It's really a matter of preference.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean or what you are asking. I'll give this a shot though.\n\nI think that the elderly should be treated with more respect than they get. Like how the Asian culture dote over their elders. That's the way it SHOULD be. However, I find that where I come from, that's not entirely true about the way elderly ARE treated.\n\nI'm in San Diego, CA. and see a lot of the elders treated unfairly in MANY situations. Youth do not give up their seats to them on public transportation the way that they should be. And no one thinks about actally helping the old woman across the street with her groceries. It's as if that's just a myth about how people USED to be. \n\nI find it offensive. I do what I can though to be a decent citizen when ever possible.\n\nI'm not sure if this answer helped you at all, but I'm hoping that it did. Good luck.

Many Chinese believe that any death above the age of 70 is a 'happy death', meaning that the person lived to an old age.\n\nIf you mean to say an official recognition of old age, then I don't know.
