My "criteria" for an adulthood is when you've grown as tall as you could and your puberty has already ended.
When you lose your virginity.
@anyone who says 18-21: CHRIS-CHAN.
That is my argument.
Yeah, that's bullcrap. Having sex definitely doesn't make one an adult; quite the contrary, sex causes people to be immature idiots. As for love, it's a vague term that different people claim means different things. You may as well say people are adults once they're tall; it's just as vague of a standard and at least it tends to correlate to age. And it has the same bearing on maturity, as well (e.g., none whatsoever).Gonna be really corny now and say this...
When you actually fall in love.
I completely agree with this. Being an adult is a gradual process. I almost believe it's a continuous process. It's about having the ability to be completely independent and responsible for yourself.Scarf said:Like for me, one day I realized that I was paying rent to live somewhere and I thought: "I feel like an adult." It's not that it happened the first time I payed rent, but maybe more of how it had become a routine?
I'm sorry, but I really would not count a 16, 17, or 18 year old on the same level as me in the maturity and responsibility department. Once you're a voter, tax payer, worker, College student, potential parent, etc, then you can come talk to me.
Maybe true for you, but I don't think that all people your age are more mature than late teens. You can have some very immature 'adults' or some very mature 'teens' and I don't really think you can judge maturity based on age or things such as paying tax, working, etc. They're just things imposed by law and don't really indicate much about maturity imo.
