Re: Adulthood?

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's somewhat of a social construct, mingled with a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Cultures that expect individuals to being handling "adult" responsibilities at young ages produce men and women who are mature in their teens. Western culture expects individuals to being handling "adult" responsibilities at some point in their 20s, after their education has been completed and they've achieved gainful employment, and so it produces men and women who are not mature until their mid or late 20s (this is, of course, in aggregate and on average. There are people who mature sooner and people who mature later).

I don't think there is a true "adolescence," but I think it's telling that the concept exists in advance civilizations, and that it tends to extend into a person's 20s. As a corollary, I also don't think there's a true "adulthood," apart from the moment past which one is expected to handle the business of surviving on one's own.

I've felt somewhat like you. I've lived on my own for five years. I'm married. I have a full-time job, and I have supervisory responsibilities. Yet, somehow, I still don't feel like I'm an "adult." I think this might be normal.
