How Old are they supposed to be? (facts and opinions welcome)
How old are these characters supposed to be? High School? College? Slightly out of college?
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy -- I work with (school age) kids and the 'debate' came up.
The consenses seems to be they are Juniors and Seniors in High School, (about half the children I work with say the scooby doo characters are in college) but the lifestyle they live is more like college students or young adults from college to the mid-to-late '20s.
High Schoolers are NOT that mature or responsible (as seen in this show), being more concerned with their self-image. -- nor that free and independent. How could High Schoolers cruise the country and solve mysteries?
In all honesty they seem mid '20s to me, though most people on the show refer to them as 'kids' putting them in the teenage bracket.
Fred seems the most mature and about 25. The others seem in the college age bracket. What say?
How old ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE -- and/or What Age do they SEEM LIKE to you?
