Do you believe that Maturity does not come in age?

No, I dont think maturity comes with age. Maturity has nothing to do with the number of birthdays you have celebrated....trust me! Maturity, as you stated, comes with acceptance of responsibility. I agree with that. Someone can be 45 and still immature. I have seen them. My friend girl is married to one and he is almost 40.

"maturity does not come in age" I agree with that. Some people has different experient in their life. Like how she/he works when he was a child, or how is family, etc. Many factors able to make maturity come early or late ^^

Maturity comes with experience which sometimes includes the acceptance of responsibility but overall comes with the decision to take ones own life into ones own hands and do something with it. Responsibility to be enslaved to others should not be defined as maturity. Responsibility to make the most with the talents, gifts, skills, and intellect that we have is the maturity I refer to that is more elusive, even for some very responsible people. We can be responsible to many people but if we give up the world, ourselves and our souls to do that then we have not acted very maturely.

I agree. Maturity comes when somebody accepts their responsiblities and is ready to take charge of their actions.

I would say maturity comes by experience... That too taking that experience as a learning in a proper way will make the person matured.... I am 25 now... But I dont think I am that matured enough to handle life's problems.... As my life was smooth enough that I was not exposed that much to germs.... So my immunity to problems is not that great :) That too emotional problems... I will be the first to sit and cry like a baby :).. But my brother (younger) .. he is damn good in handling problems.... This itself shows age doesnt match with maturity :)

yes i do...

ya thats true.. maturity has got nothing to do with age of the person nor the experiences in life.... its an independent factor in itself.

I think maturity comes with experience. Not eveyone has been through the same as the other. So, some may be more mature than others of the same age. I do think some level of maturity comes with age only because by a certain age, one has had many experiences. But if one lives a sheltered life...how mature would that individual be?

I may age but I refuse to mature!

yes ofcourse

maturity does not come in age ur absolutely right with that. just like learning to be able to mature more and / or better it must have come with experience. ul not gna learn or mature more without experience. there are a lot of people who wasnt hit with a huge deal of problems because they are well safe and secured by their parents. most of them becomes less mature than others. but there are a lot of youths nowadays who are guided by parents and be able to experience great sums of problems and trials, they tend to mature early compared to others.

i've met those people too,older than me but seems don't have the value for their responsibility.but i do believe as we get older we will get better understanding.sometimes we just can't expect teenagers to have too much responsibilities.which is the older we get,the more mature we will become.for me maturity is about understanding.understand rather than be understood.

it does. but some people just choose not to mature.

it does come in age....

Maturity can come with age but it doesnt always. I dont know how people develope maturity

yeah... ver much i agree with you, but it comes with experience... maturity has got nothing to do with age, so it all boils down to individual's approach towards a problem.

i believe maturity may or may not come with age but is rather a result of experience

I agree 100%. The older one gets, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are more mature. I know I am very immature in many ways but after having kids, I have had to grow up whether I liked it or not. I admit I am still immature in some ways but I am a lot further ahead from where I used to be. My brother in law is almost 36 and still acts like a teenager. He lives with my mother in law and his only responsibility is his job! Thats it! Every weekend he parties like a kid and sleeps in. What a life.

Absolutely you are correct. people cant be rated as matured by looking at their age. I have seen a lot of people who are really old, and act kiddish. Means they really dont know what to talk, when to talk, how to talk, why to talk. The speech they give will not make any sense. I have faced so many situations like that. I have a colleague, who acts as a kid. She is 25 years old. I let her all the time to be matured, so that people will not make use of her. But still, she is always the same. So cant help. It has to come by on their own. It cant by looking at someone or giving a lecture to them. It will always depends on the environment they grow in and the people around them. So responsibility will also take part in getting matured.

As one grows older one gets better. This is what is generally believed. I am managing three senior citizens. As one grows old one often grows bitter. The reason is biochemical and not that they suddenly become eccentric. Geriatrics is the least studies branch of medical science. Pediatrics deals with children's health. Geriatrics exclusively deals with the health in aging people. I a sure you have not come across any doctor's sign saying Dr. J. W. Walrope MD Geriatrics. But Ageing fascinates me, and has been interesting from childhood. You sure are on the right view point. Merry X'mas. drashok
