At what age is a person a full adult?

[Kingofkings1992]

Someone yesterday told me 18 was. I strongly disagree. 18 is a child, 21 is kind of an adult, but not really. I’m going with 25

18

21

25

Guarantee most people who voted under 25 are under 25. 🤣

Legally at 18 but the brain isn't fully developed till 25. I don't think it's enough to change the age of adulthood because kids graduate at 18 and need to get out into the real world. Saying adulthood is 25 would hold a lot of people back and controlling parents would get even worse if they had to watch their kids till that age.

[Kingofkings1992]

I’m not saying everyone should live with their parents until 25. You completely misunderstood apple 🍎

20 in my opinion since at 18 and 19 you still have a the word teen in the age number which would make them a teenager still technically when you think about it

They say officially at 21, but i think at 21 most guys are still pretty stupid and irresponsible.

18 is legally an adult. The other measures of "adult" are open to interpretation.

[Kingofkings1992]

Legally doesn’t mean anything. Just that you could have sex with one, and not be trouble. 18 still has age restrictions on what you can do, even for some jobs.

[msc545]

What, other than buying alcohol?

[msc545]

Okay yeah I think it's illegal for somebody under 21 to serve alcohol as well. So that's two things. What else?

[Kingofkings1992]

Tons of jobs require you to be at least 21

[msc545]

What jobs?

Legally it is 18 but I think 18 year old people are not mature enough to be considered adults.

[msc545]

It also depends on your definition of maturity. People here keep using that word but neglect to ever define it. Do you think an 18 or 19-year-old military veteran qualifies as a mature adult?

[Kingofkings1992]

@msc545 no, no person in their teens is a mature adult. Lol

[msc545]

What is your definition of "mature" ?

[Kingofkings1992]

@msc545 being mentally developed. The brain is not done developing until about 25 or 26

[msc545]

How do you know that and what do you mean by developing?

[msc545]

Also, what do you mean by the term mentally developed?

[clampfan101]

Depends on your definition of “adult”.
I’ve seen kids act more like adults than certain adults.

You can buy alcohol at 21
So I am going with 21💀

21 for females, 30+ for most males.

[Kingofkings1992]

Pftt. Okay. I’ve known some very immature 21 year old women, and some very immature 40+ women.
