  It's difficult to make a generalization about which group is more likely to mature mentally quickly, as individuals within each group can vary greatly in terms of their development and maturity. However, it's worth noting that both teens and younger children are capable of rapid growth and development. Younger children, particularly those in their early years, experience a lot of rapid brain development and learning. They are constantly absorbing information and building cognitive and social skills. However, their experiences and opportunities for growth may be more limited than those of teenagers, as they are typically more reliant on their parents and caregivers for support and guidance.
