Are you an adult?

[Randy]

Do you consider yourself to be an adult?

 

[DrLeftover]

well.....

Adult, Age of Majority, Age of Consent
All three terms are different aspects of the same thing, depending on the context.

The legal age at which one, if deemed mentally competent, may engage in binding contracts, drive, marry, have sex, drink alcohol, buy cigarettes, work full time, vote, join the military, and so on, if certain other criteria are met. The ages vary from state to state and by the activity being discussed. Your Brutha and his website regard those who are under 18 to be a Minor. See: Pedophilia, Minor, Consent, Of Age, Status Offense, Guardian

Adding to the confusion is the traditional Debutant or Quinceañera balls where a girl is considered by her community as not being a child any longer, however, they may still be several years from adulthood. See Quinceañera, Debutant, Coming Of Age, and related.

Legally a Minor cannot enter a binding legal contract, give Consent for sexual activity with an Adult, or perform certain other actions. Thusly, a Minor cannot sign a Model Release or give Informed Consent. See: Guardian.

I guess my answer would be the "technical" one.

 

[Jazzy]

I am technically an adult but I don't feel like one.

 

[LegendHidden]

I would say I'm almost there.

[Raven]

^ Me too and I'm just 26 :/

 

[Teg]

Physically I'm an adult, mentally I'm extremely old, but still have a good heart and remain a kid at heart. I'm 27 years young.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

I am still a kid at heart but I definitely am an adult and feel like one.

 

[Corleone]

I am still a kid at heart but I definitely am an adult and feel like one.

I am the same way. I consider myself to be a responsible young adult. While I love to laugh and can be very immature at times, I know when and how to be serious if need be. Otherwise, I try not to take life too serious. I am a big kid :fighting:

Good way to live.

... Some people go off the deep end over any little thing

i have it on good authority that if you make it to 50 without growing up, you don't have to.

 

[Jakester]

to be honest im 18 and about to finish high school but i still feel like a 14 year old eigth-grader inside lol. not sure why, probably cause theres some things i like that you wouldnt expect an 18 year old to like.

Thank you Tooter.


I guess the two of us are proof of that.

 

[Crys]

I suppose 🤔

 

[passenger]

Yep!

 

[Webster]

You and me both, Doc.

 

[Dee]

Sadly, yes, but I act more like a big kid when it's appropriate. I try not to take myself too seriously.

 

[PGen98]

I'm grumpy like an adult, but I'm also immature like a kid.

 

[Elvira]

My date of birth says yes.

 

[Kyng]

Well, I have an adult's body, but that's about it .
