Not sure what to make out of this study. Isn't that true that you learn the true meanings of happiness as you age? Isn't that true that teens tend to be more uncertain about what is going on in the world, thus have more anxiety and fear? Isn't that true that as you become mature, you are more experienced as spotting dangerous situations, instead of being hypersensitive?
