One question that wanders around the world is, “When do people truly grow up?” There isn’t necessarily an answer.
Everyone grows up at different times and in different ways.
Maturity is the key to growing up. Two people could be the same age but act completely different. Households hold a big play on maturity levels. Eighteen-year-olds are claimed as “adults,” but most people don’t truly grow up until twenty-five. According to Psychology Today, “Current theories of emerging adulthood define this developmental period as marked by five pillars: a time of possibilities, instability, identity explorations, self-focus, and ambivalence toward adult status.” There are many events in life that change people’s ways. Depending on what a person goes through is also depending on when their adulthood begins.
Others believe that when a person turns eighteen, that’s when they’re considered “grown up.” This is incorrect because legally being an adult doesn’t mean someone is mentally. Depending on home lives, education, and relationships, everyone goes at a different pace.
People should stop thinking that they need to begin adulthood just because they’re eighteen. It’s okay to grow up faster or slower than someone else. Maturity will determine a person’s adulthood.
Twenty-five is when a person should be into adulthood. Once education and money is set, a person should be comfortable to start their own lives. Having a mature mindset can help adulthood go smoothly.
