“Were we actually expected to be fully functioning adults by the end of high school, because my peers seem very immature?” is my interpretation.
And, no. You were expected to be able to either join the workforce or pursue further education with the basic education provided, mental maturity isn’t actually a part of the curriculum and is mostly up to you to develop.
I’m trying to express that I feel as though I’m interacting, everyday, with people haven’t learned a single thing since they left high school. Not in an academic sense but they never actually learned to form ideals for themselves and they have this rudimentary framework they adhere to without even the slightest thought that they should maybe alter that framework to fit the world they experience everyday.
Wut?

To be fair though, he’s come a long way since kindergarten.
So… “most people don’t challenge their own beliefs”
