No: Brain tumors are relatively uncommon, and the peak age for the most common type of brain tumors is between the fifth and seventh decades of life (40-70). Such tumors are uncommon in people in their 20s, but it can happen. If your question is from more than just curiosity, see your doctor for more information and perhaps for a brain MRI scan.
