Depends who you hang around. If it’s summer camp and you’re a preschooler, the 1st graders are big and old and the 3rd graders are ancient. The 5th graders are of another species altogether than you, talking a strange language that only they understand.

ying young isn’t tied to an age though.

Rather, it speaks to potential.

Someone who is considered to have been leading a good life / active life / something positive, will be thought of as “dying young”.

But someone who is seen as a waste of space and time and energy doesn’t get the same treatment.

In short, for all these age guesses, they’re wrong in a Universal sense.

Rather, they more likely speak to your own preconceptions of utility/usefulness of people of those ages.

All that said, I’d say: 4 and under. Anybody 5 and up is old… old enough to be pushed through a system they don’t leave until they retire.
