I think this is one of the most interesting articles that I've ever read in my entire life (I know, is an exaggeration). According to science news, advancing paternal age can lead to higher rates of psychiatric
and academic problems in offspring than previously estimated. Compared to a children born to a 24-year-old father, children born to a 45-year-old father are 3.5 times more
likely to have autism, 13 times more likely to have ADHD, twice as likely to have psychotic
disorders and 25 times more likely to have bipolar disorder.
Basically says that psychiatric and academic behaviors depends on your parents' ages. For me this is shocking because this is what I most like to hear and to experiment: Human's behavior. So far I did know that most of psychological issues comes from how the parents
raise their children, but I actually didn't know that also biological factor plays among in this one (Really, I'm shocked).
This interest me a lot because, first I'm a teenager and I of course interact, mostly with people of my age. I have seen their behaviors I have talked with them (deep stuff, non of your business), and I realized that some have a lot of issues that maybe, it won't be solved. As a student of biology and wanna be a psychologist, makes me think: To what extent the age can affect the other generation's attitude? Again, as I always say, this is an enigma.
What connection with this article and my life? (Pff easy) What I experiment today, and what I want to do in the future. My mom conceived when she was 25 and my dad turned to be dad when he was 35, according to the study, that's normal, however I've seen friend which their dads have 70 (Yes, 70!). And their behavior is a problem (No offence). And when I become a psychologist, maybe I will face with something similar of this, and when that day happen, I will be more than ready.
I believe this is Identity. Because clearly shows what we are, what precisely can we do and what can't we do.
