High School
Many people live their whole lives in high school. Not just the people whose lives peak there, and that's why they remember high school so fondly. High school happens during one of those big formative periods of life, and many people end up taking on habits, attitudes, thoughts, and reactions they'll keep their whole lives, living the rest of their life trapped in the person they were when they were sixteen.
Habits get harder to change the longer they last, and some times are easier to change than others, and as you get older, physical things like neurons settle into patterns of their own and things get harder to change. It can be done, but it's not easy. How long can the jock coast on past glories, and how long do the shy take to realize it's no longer high school, and they can be whatever they want?
