What makes a person being an adult?

Not a benchmark to see someone from the age of maturity, one's maturity came when he found trouble and then he'd think to find a solution. Factors that influence one's manhood is the environment, if the neighborhood is conducive and he used to be independent from the first I think he will be better prepared to face every thing that exists. Sometimes maturity comes by itself without any age restrictions, but if we have reached the age of 28 or 40 I think it's ashamed that we still besifat childhood. How do you own?

It i not actually the age which makes one mature, rather it is experience of the life which makes one matured one. Temperament, disposition and immature actions are not restricted to an individual as such. these things are part and parcel of our moods and emotions. A matured person learns to keep control over them and he or she knows code of conduct and the maintenance of dignity to give an touch of grown up person or matured person. I too know few people who just behave like kids and put their demands and get them fulfilled like kids. This shows the immaturity of an individual. they don't have consideration for others. They instead of becoming support to others they themselves are becoming liability on others. Their thoghts are always in one direction.they always think about themselves and their needs. They can't be a trust worthy or dependable people and they can ditch us at any time. I think basically kids should be taught about the life and the ups and downs of the life by every parent irrespective the social status of the family. In the richer families the ids tend to behave in more reckless and careless way than in middle class family. The rich persons hardly must have experienced the naked truths and bitterness of life to understand them, so I think parents should make them understand about these things to them and make them responsible and matured individuals once they grow up.

Yes Ifa, adulthood is directly related with one's age both for males and females worldwide! But it has two dimensions as 'Physical age' and 'Mental age'. The cases of your friends are only the lacking of mental age. This may be due to inadequete socio-cultural factors surrounding them alongwith their family influences. But for an ideal case, physical age as well as mental age should move ahead in co-linear manner making a well responsible and managing person for all circumstances that comes before as a process of life! Hope, you may have well grasped my views and I think your friends must improve just by counselling in proper ways! Thanks and let us hope for the best!!

every human being has the same physical development, ranging from the womb and after birth to babies, toddlers, children, and adolescents and the longer grow old. But it does not guarantee the person is old and then become an adult. Maturity had a certain size. such as: to differentiate between good and bad things, it can prepare the things that will happen in the future, if he did not prepare him for the better in the present. The most important is an adult is one who realizes that he is no longer the kids who always whine, complain, do not accept reality, etc.. Usually the experience of being a determinant of a person became an adult thing. he's a lot to learn from mistakes that have been done, although he never heard the story, see the experience of others, but not comparable to what he has felt alone.

Hi Ifa!. In law terminology being adult is related in certain age. Like in our country their certain age we allow to marriage because in that age they think we already fully grown up and responsible for their own family. I think you men grown up in the way we think, its usually not much related with aged and most related in family situation and life they had to deal. We all have different stage in maturity if related to fully grow up in our act.

i think maybe responsability, being secure of one self, being strong and knowing one thing or two about life it's not age i think because i already saw 16 year old girl that was soooooo mature, really could take care of her self, was calm, confident, could talk very maturely about stuff...that proved me it's no age that makes someone mature, as also I saw a 50 yr woman that wow! how imature, she dated a 17 year old and her daughter was ashamed of her for so many things, she acted like a 15 yr old

Do you ready to take the responsibility for what happens to you? Are you able to rise above the impact to yourself in order to contribute to a wider effort or help someone else? And most importantly, can you behave in a rational and responsible manner when challenged? .......If yes, you are an adult. Legally, if you are 18 year old then I would consider you as an adult.

I don't think age has anything to do with maturity, nor do I think that a person matures equally in all areas of their person at the same time. For example, a person may be very mature about making decisions, but act like a 2 year old if they don't get their own way. I always told my kids that when they admitted they didn't know it all, I would know they were beginning to mature.

I would say, taking responsibility for your own actions and your own life. Stopping to blame others for things, in short.

Age does not make a person an adult. There is really no exact age that we can consider ourself an adult. I think that experiences makes a person an adult. No matter how young or old we are for as long as we have experienced the life which will make us an adult... we will then be acting and considered an adult.

i don't know why , there are so many young boy are changing so fast into an adult here. maybe they all need more time to work when they are studying . and they have to do this for the short of money . and china has a so big population. so the money and good job is hard to find . and their parents don't have enough money to provide him , so they have to do what they should do than others .so this the biggest reason to make a person being an adult in our country . thank you .

Some time I wonder why others treat one person depend on who's appearance look. I find if a young people but looked as old who will get lots of special. on the contrary if a old people looked as a young who will lose some right. in my eyes too. I easily to trust a older because older leave me a calm, steady feeling, and may be he or she know much about the rule of the life, if meet some problems they are resilient to control every trouble, more experience can be a humer make me feel he or she is easy going so I trust the older so much

For me its not the age that really matters on being an adult or being matured rather,it is the nature or the environment where they lived in or also for the people who they get along with,there are many factors that really affects why a person is being like that,"an adult"or still act like a child" for somebody others maybe they just dont feel it when they are still a child so they incorporate it when they are old now,trying to be a kid again.It just a matter of understanding the situation of that people,specially when they are your friends relatives or your special someone. understanding is the best way of all, believe me.

A person becomes an adult if he/she is capable of handling responsibilities. I would not call a person adult if he/she is not mature enough for their age.

ifa what makes a person an adult is maturity in handling problems and people. Age does not always act as being adult.A person who is self confident and tries to solve her own problems without having a melt down is a maure adult. A person who cannot face ane attempt to solve her own problems need to grow up a bit.A person who tries to resolve every thing by anger and temper fits rather than use common sense is not an adult. Some people act like adults at 19 while others act like children at age 50, whining and bitc@ing.

Being an adult is not about what age you. it is about the responsibility you take for your life. When you can make your own decisions and stick by them, then you should be considered an adult. Anything less and you are not ready.

Some people don't get mature with the age. Though they become clever and intelligent with the age but sometimes they will act in a childish way. Each one will have different nature. Nobody is perfect. They are your friends and you know their nature better, so you need to accept them as they are.
