Because you're still young and people are taking longer to mature and 'grow up' nowadays. 21 today is like what 16 used to be 30-40 years ago. You're still *basically* a kid. Hell, even when I was 27, I still felt like a young adult and not quite "grown" yet. So option B an C.

Yes and no your legally an adult but I’m 28 years old and still consider a kid but I do hang around people who are in there 40-70s I’m kid poker pretty much it would be hard to move out at our age but we can still work drink smoke do whatever like adults can do, so we’re both kids just depends on the situation
Yeah I get this as well, no idea why because I am fairly mature like most of the time lol. It’s mainly older people who call me this, like my older siblings for one. Could just be the generational difference?
Respect is earned, no matter what age you are. You show it through your behavior.

You see... you are not an adult. An adult has a good paying job, a carrier, wife, kids and a sense of obligation to do what is right for his family. To earn money and not get shit faced and call in sick for work. Oh and adults don't suck on mommy and daddies tits.
I've been calling people that are younger than me, "kid" for at least 30 years, now! I've also heard other kids calling each other, "kid". It's nothing new, you're probably just noticing it more.
They are talking about your mentality and understanding
because at 21 you are a kid. I still feel like a kid sometimes and I am 50
When you're talking to a 50 year old, you're a kid to them.
Because you're under 30 and still learning what life is all about. :)
Both a and b you still got your whole life ahead of you
Tell them not to call you that. It's kinda disrespectful because they see you as immature.
You will have the answer in 50 tears.
Shut up kid.
