RE: "What does it mean to be an adult?"

in #life8 years ago

I think once you need to take responsibility for something/one you get an adult.
My inner me is nearly 12 (in real i am 27) but I am pretty happy not being an adult.

Sort:  

Are you not taking responsibility for your own life?

I think it's dangerous to have that qualify you as being an adult. That's why people get married, take out mortgages, and have babies, even though they don't want to.

I don't think, it qualifies you, but a lot people take there life more serious as when they are alone and don't have any responsibility for something/one else.

of course, but if you only need to take care of yourself the only thing that matters is what you want. But if there is something/someone you need to take care, there are more thinks that matter too you (or at least should matter too you)

Right. Because that thing or person is something you want more than anything else. I think the logic still follows.
