The idea of becoming an adult is a strange feeling, many people my age have children, we are all getting jobs, some even have their own homes now.

Did anyone here share the same feelings? I'm not sure its scary or daunting that within 10 years, I may have my own family and people my age are now all "grown up", no longer children or teenagers but young men and women.

Time has flown by so quickly, I still remember some events when I was in nursery and primary school.

Everyone moves at their own pace. You shouldn't have to worry about it.

I was 20 not that long ago. I'm 21 now, I'll be turning 22 this Nov. 24th.

I still haven't figured out life yet, but I've got all the time in the world, as do you.

Just take it one step at a time.

Turning 20 was great, instantly ran down and bought a ton of alcohol

[RedArmyShogun]

Just think. Thats 20 years less you have to live.

Mister 21 here. Sure, it felt a little strange when I hit 20, but then again it is unavoidable. Time sure starts to fly, when you stop thinking about how old you are. I remember wishing to be older when I was 13 - now I wish to be younger hahaha.

But to be honest... unless you've changed drastically in appearance, you probably won't feel your age much. Just yesterday I was asked to provide ID when I went to a store to buy a beer. Of course I didn't have it with me and with a straight face I asked the lady "Do I really look younger than 18 ?" to which she immediately replied "Yes".

I knew I shoudn't have shaved.

Its the idea of becoming an 'adult' that has struck me as different, mentally I'm mature and in other aspects I'm a downright child.

I drive past my first school and nursery on my way to work and every now and then I wonder about how much time has past. I was excited to get a cookie and a glass of milk during break.

I guess its the responsibilities we all have to have sooner or later as an adult.

Turning 21 in August here.

Though I think when I became an "adult", it was more gradual to the point I didn't notice all that much.

I'm not really bothered about death, I've always wondered what is after. Its the idea of bills, holding down my own house, children and having them look up to me and for me to guide them through their life, becoming a partner etc.

I'm 20. No wife, no children, no job, no house.

How do I real life?

Congrats you have lived 1/4 of your life approximately ! but honestly just do things in your rate, it should be no pressure, i thought much of the same when i was your age but are 26 now and things have been solved much better than i thought they would and they usually do for most people so i'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

No way LP, we're only 4 days apart in terms of birthdays. (I'll be 23 on the 20th.) I've been pretty much going at my own pace, taking things as they come. It's worked out well for me so far at least. Really though you needn't worry or think too much about it, at least not yet. You'll find your own way in life eventually. Almost everybody does, and there's bound to be people there to help you out if you really need it. As for when I became 20? I didn't feel like there was much of a change at all tbh. A bit of reflection perhaps but that's it.

I'm coming up on 24 in December.

20 is different for everyone. Outside of the military, I felt like I was still a teenager. It's what you make of it.

I have friends who are 35 and tell me that nothing has really changed much in their worldview for the past 20 years.

Personally, I don't believe everyone "becomes" an adult at 20.  Or 18.  Or 30 even.

I'm 25.  I'd say I became an adult at 22 when I stopped half-assing my life, started working full-time (while going to university...give that a try), and started to really give a helping hand to my parents (who have and had done the same).

I'm now a couple years away from my second degree, my parents have a new house, I'm dating and it's getting more serious than anything I've had before.  Just four years ago, I couldn't see myself doing any one of those things.  Crazy how a few years and a different perspective can change you.

Make light of serious matters, serious of light matters. Serious matters are out of ones control and can only be faced, light matters one can actively change.

We've known this for a while now, we talked about it earlier in the year.

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.

The thing is I felt like we had talked about it before, but I felt like mentioning it again anyway.

Wait until you hit 30.

I'm a few days shy of turning 34 and I have no wife ( no girlfriend either ) and no children. I have a dead end job that pays peanuts and I sort of have a house ( joint 40 year mortgage with my parents, just another 38 years of slaving away for me and I'll own the rot infested mildewey death trap ). There isn't a single day that does not go by where I don't live in fear of bank taking my house away and I'm forced to live on the streets. Adulthood sucks.

[Angrywolves]

One of my detractors aka enemies in the BSN called me a weird dude recently .
So wait till you turn 50 and the people who dislike you on the BSN will most likely be saying the same thing about you.
Seriously it's probably just hormones .rotfl.
Happy Birthday pal.

20 is adulthood? I'm 22, still feel like a kid. Though, I am paying bills, working full time, no social life, etc. Ahaha.
