at what age should someone be considered an adult?
this may be a stupid question to some but at what age do you think someone should be considered an adult? i know that the legal age is 18 but in your personal opinion do you think it should be a higher age or maybe lower? just curious. i recently read a manga that made me think about if 18 should really be the age when someone is called an adult. never thought about it till now tbh. (when someone has life experience or when their brain stops developing should they be considered an adult? or 18)
idk i remember reading somewhere that the age a human brain takes to be fully developed is actually 25 so i think the legal should only be slightly lower than that reply
maybe like 21? 18 is like the pre-adult stage ig. i find it hard to pinpoint an age where everybody should be recognized as an adult tho. i think at 18 people dont have enough life experience and arent really grown yet. 1 reply
I think legal age is not always equivalent to being an adult. Some gets to feel they’re an adult at an earlier age, some takes time.

I don't think reaching adulthood happens at a certain age, but when you reach the mentality of a person capable of holding responsibilities and being respectful. A person could be in their 30s or more and still act like a child, barely being able to function as an adult in society. If it had to be an age, I would say it would have to be higher than...... reply
I've read that the human brain stops developing at the age of 21 or 22 so maybe the legal age to be considered an adult should be 24?
Idk I feel like people still need to learn alot before they're ready to face the world. reply
