Howdy,

What does it mean that youth is often wasted on the young ?

Thanks!

This line occurs in an old song. The idea behind it is that young people don't really know how to avail themselves of their young age and therefore youth is "wasted" on them. The speakers implies that older people have more experience of life and would know better how to enjoy whatever advantages young age has.
