What do you think is the best age that you may become a grown-up?
I believe that no one can be sure is they already are full grown-ups, because the child in us never dies.
After some age he just seems not to be that active, not willing to play, and be jolly about everything. Something changes inside, and he becomes more reticent.
But what is the age we should forget about the children in us, and engage seriously in our lifes?
Some of us are very attached to the child in us, and don't want to let go, yet, life seems to have other plans for us, and tests our will every day.

I think we become adult so gradually that we don't really notice it. One point at which we do become adults is when we leave education as this can mean that we have to start thinking about what we want to do in our lives, and all of a sudden we're given options for our own lives, which we've never had in the past. It is scary at the time, but at the same time you have to realise that every decision that you make can impact on your future, so you have to make the decisions to the best of your ability at the time.

I don't believe that ending your studies will necessarily make you grow-up more than leaving your family behind. For example, I have experienced a brutal maturization in the first year of colege, when I had to live far from my family, and their protection, if I may call it like that.
Of course, the impact finishing your educations and having to start working is very big, and decisive, causing maturization, but that impact wouldn't be that important if one is still living with their family. The stress wouldn't be that great.
At least that is what I think.

I think there is no particular age for us to grow up but we must really act according to our age. For example a teenager can't make a tantrum like a baby or even cry like it. Again we must act accordingly to our age and we should determine our right place.

Is there really such a perfect age when it comes to growing up? I don't think so. There can still be a child in us but we can grow up as well. I may be 22 but there is still a child in me. Growing up is within ourselves we can't force other people to grow up because we said so.
