There isn't a set time. People become adults at different times and in different ways. But most know when they can look at their life and put responsibilities before fun and you know for a fact the world no longer revolves around yourself and it doesn't bother you to know that.
I'm going to tell you something a wise woman once told me. Age doesn't determine your maturity. You don't turn a magic age and become an adult. It's a conscious choice. You choose whether to grow up or remain a kid or teen. That's all there is too it. It's your choice.
It's just that, since I do the whole "Superhero" thing and take on responsibility, fight crime, risk my life to save the world, I was wondering if that's enough to consider me an adult, because I'm still goofing around reading comic books, watching cartoons all that kid stuff.
Eh, it's not that much work really. Sides working around the Inn keeps me busy so I don't get totally bored. It's not exactly as action packed as living full time in Neon City but I have less bruises.
Ha! Somehow I got the feeling that you wouldn't mind that.
And don't you worry, B.B., I've got Leormon watching me. When he tells me to take a break, I take a break. You won't catch me losing myself to my work.
Adult hood tends to be the same as childhood, only you have to be more careful about what you do and you can't really tell when you start doing it. It just kinda happens.

Date: 2012-01-05 04:41 am (UTC)Well, B.B., there's no real answer to that question.
It's a question of maturity, how old you feel, how old you act... And how old you're willing to let yourself be.
Legally? It's at 18. Law, however, has very little to do with how we feel...

That would be awesome! Seriously when was the last time you went out and did something not work related?

We've all seen too many people have that happen.(OOC: Strikes totally visible.)
