You are an adult when you can make decision and take responsibilities for your decisions. I mean, when you are bold enough to blame yourself and no ones else for your problems. At thesame time, you should also be a man enough to give credit to those that deserve it. Thewn you are an adult.

Sometimes I think I was born as an adult, because I never fit in with people my age. Even when I was really little, I was too mature for them, and prefered the company of adults.

A person who by virtue of attaining a certain age, generally eighteen, is regarded in the eyes of the law as being able to manage his or her own affairs.
The age specified by law, called the legal age of majority, indicates that a person acquires full legal capacity to be bound by various documents, such as contracts and deeds, that he or she makes with others and to commit other legal acts such as voting in elections and entering marriage. The age at which a person becomes an adult varies from state to state and often varies within a state, depending upon the nature of the action taken by the person. Thus, a person wishing to obtain a license to operate a motor vehicle may be considered an adult at age sixteen, but may not reach adulthood until age eighteen for purposes of marriage, or age twenty-one for purposes of purchasing intoxicating liquors.
Anyone who has not reached the age of adulthood is legally considered an infant.

i've taken a short look on the answers here...most of them act normally and the fact is that they are absolutely right about this..when you are well responsable on your acts and don't depend permantly on others,make a stabile family and take right decisions=then it's a way to a complete maturisation..i like this time i'm living in and we should let the nature follow it's natural path because we will surely reach this complete process..have a great day!

I'm 28 and have a baby and I still don't feel like an adult. :)
I guess you are an adult once you are on your own and responsible for yourself - up to a point. I mean, a 40 year old still living at home and taken care of by his/her parents might be an exception.

When you sacrificed your wants, time, needs, ideals in favor of another person (when they need it most), then you're an adult, because you learned the act of "self-giving".

i suppose that legally in this country anyway, you are an adult at 18, but i think you are truly an adult when you feel like one. i feel like an adult now at 27 but 5 years ago at 22 i still didnt. i think everyone has their moments when they feel like a little child again though.

Legally it is 18 in most places, but a teacher once told me that the definition of being an adult is knowing your own mortality (knowing that you will die). So, I guess it depends on who you are asking.

You are an adult when you are living on your own and supporting yourself.
