Who the hell has been telling you that the best years of your life happen before you're 20? I've heard college years or married years before kids, but never teenage years.

LOL! I've heard it a few times back when I was a kid but I'm more like you, thinking it just doesn't make sense! Wtf... there's so much life to live once you're out from under your parents.

I like to think it's some form of selective amnesia. For example, they remember "when I lived with my parents I didn't have to work and I had a lot more free time to play video games, but now I have to work 50 hours a week at a job I hate, I'm exhausted, I never have any time for myself and my interests" but not all the rules, the fact that school is a major responsibility at least if you want to do well - which is another thing people forget, how hard concepts were at the time you were learning them, only thinking of them as how hard they are for an adult - curfews, limited funds, probably not having the freedom to sleep over at a lover's house if you want to, etc.
It all varies by situation but typically living without parents is far more satisfying to the human locus of control than living with them.

Srsly. If you're lucky enough to have a decently average childhood they're not bad years, but there's so much more life to be had out from under your parents' thumbs.

You haven't heard that about high school? I'd heard it fairly commonly, although thinking about it, mostly from older people. It was said frequently enough at one point that it was a trigger for one of my exes, who had been bullied and abused in high school and admonished by his friends and family that he should shut up and enjoy it because these would "be the best years of his life." Fucking whacked.

"Cherish your high school years, they're the best years of your life!" is totally a cliche that people actually say. People are starting to catch on that it's bullshit, though.

So much this. And I've always found the idea that the best years of your life are in high school (i.e., you will have to live through another 60+ years without ever reaching the happiness you had as a teenager) to be somewhat horrifying.
