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

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.

*nobody needs to reply to that last line thank you.

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.

I didn’t feel like one, I think most of us are pretending at being grown up.

I think I was much more grown up than I am now! I had a wife & kid at 19, a great job, a pension, my own house and had travelled the world.

I agree with this I'm 46 now but I still feel like 18 now and back then it didn't feel very adult at all.

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.

Exactly this, I had to grow up way before my adult years.

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 recall very clearly the first time I felt grown up, it was on my 7th birthday.

I was fairly immature as a teen but grew up fairly fast when I left home at 18.

I’m 34, married with kids and have a mortgage and still don’t feel like an adult. I have to pretend sometimes but I don’t think I’ll ever truly grow up.

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.

I had to leave a bad situ at home when I was 18 and set up house with my first wife, was also in a military environment at work. Certainly was adult at that time, now stuck feeling around 34 years old mentally (Tony).... Cherry feels like she's still in her 40's mentally (she says thats when 'fun' started for her )
