When do you become an adult?

Yes we all know when the legal definition is, but to me its about so many other things.

Becoming an adult is a process, and not something that happens on your 18th birthday and as a process it should be respected and acknowleged that it happens differently for different people.

Adulthood is often a cultural and social construct too, some cultures encourage their young to be far more independent than others, should we enforce conformity and if we should who's?

Should we hold someone back from doing "adult" things because they're not 18 even when they're ready?

    I think for me it probably was around 24-25. I like that with the mental health services they see you as in need of more support to this age as well now.. Some people with MH issues may be a bit stunted with their emontional health due to their MH. i am still young for my age, but at like 21 I was still pretty much a child.
