"We all know legally at 18 you are classed as an adult but did you feel like one at 18 or were you younger or older??
I know some will say they have never grown up  x"
Don’t remember tbh, long time ago |

I felt like an adult at 18. Voted in a GE on my 18th birthday. And felt really mature. I’d had a job before that and was really quite sensible anyway but voting was when I really felt like a grown up.
And more recently being a parent and a responsible adult that kids come to at parties when something happens has made me feel doubly grown up.  |

I was still very immature. I think I grew up and felt like an adult early 20’s. Before that I thought I was invincible and nothing mattered. No concerns etc, and not really any direction.
I was a dick.

Oh at 18 I knew everything and was invincible. I had no fear and hurled myself into unsuitable situation after unsuitable situation with absolute abandon. Of course I was an adult. I was the adultiest adult who ever adulted.
It was only in my 30s that I started to get some perspective and truly see my behaviour in context for what it was. I was just so desperately young and naive in my 20s that it makes me sad for that young me. Poor cow. |

At 18 I thought I was grown up but looking back I am not so sure I was.
In my early twenties I was considered to have a mature head on my shoulders it's why Alexis married me but as I have gotten older I seem to have gone backwards I the maturity stakes. |

I thought I was all grown up. Full time job at 16 yrs old, bought my 1st house at 19 yrs old, engaged and married at 21 yrs old. I thought I knew it and was doing the right things in life. How wrong was I. I would do it all differently.
As for feeling grown up, nahhh, some days I'm just like a big kid |

I’d left home by 18, so had responsibilities of rent etc. I was more a grown up adult, serious at times, than I am now.
My friends say I’m getting younger in my ways as I get older…… maybe. I just see it as I’ve learnt how to manage life’s stresses, they don’t consume me, so I can give myself that freedom to let my hair down & enjoy life. |
