When Do We Stop Running

When children fall down people run to help.
When an old woman falls, does anyone run?
What about a teenage girl? 
What if a teenage girl falls?
Is there a cut off age?
When do we stop running?
And why?

Rhona Mcferran November 23, 2018 at 7:14 PM I hadn't thought of this before, but it's very true... people do act as if there is a "cut off age"! Great write ;) Caren Krutsinger November 23, 2018 at 9:11 PM Thank you; and take it from one who knows, there should not be!
