    Very good question....I would say ask an adult when they thought the truly "grew up" but somewhere in every adult they'll say "I have a bit of Kid in me still"..so if your legally an adult, but still claim to be a kid, what the heck are you?.....I'm awaiting some answers too!

    My father is 50 years old. But he insists life only starts at fourty, so technically he's only '10'.

    So...that doesn't answer your question. Bye!x

    I guess we'll always get older but still be a kid. We still make mistakes and the term 'adult' seems too... well to much. Adult to me is where people don't make 'mistakes'. So I still think when you think your an adult you can believe yourself. But I still think that in all adults they would not be adults if it wasn't for the kid they still have in themselves.

    My opinon.

    OK here.
    You know you're a child if someone asks you:
    "How old are you?"
    and you reply:

    "22 1/2"

    an adult will just say

    "22"

    If your not A child and your not an adult your an adolescent, meaning your a child whose treading on the lines of being an adult. As far as when you actually become an adult who gives a sh*t, just stop asking such silly questions and live the way you want and the way you personaly feel is ethically correct, not the way you're told to...makes things less complicated. SO STICK IT TO THE MAN!! YA THE MAN AND JUST LIVE! LIVE IT BABEH!!!! ....Well apparantly I'm not grown up yet either...Anyway see ya later, -Al.

    I don't really think that there is anything to make you an adult, I guess it's about your maturity, or "coming of age". It's different for many people, and after a while you just know. It takes time, though, so don't worry. I'm sort of in the same situation as you are right now, so I know how you feel. But I promise that as you get older you'll come to realize who you are. Don't worry :)

    When You stop relying on your parents to bail You out of sticky situations... When You are struggling to pay all the bills let alone the debt You have got yourself in, but still managing anyway [without any help]... When You are going through the same problems You saw your parents go through and put yourself after others/children...
    When You can go to the pub to drink your troubles away without getting yourself into more trouble, ie fights, arguments etc...

    Ok the last bit was maybe a little wrong lol
