Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

at what age did you feel like an adult?

tell us

I still don't feel like an adult, but everyone loves to remind me that being 18 technically makes me a "young adult"

But what do they know :colonhash:

Probably around 21 when I got my first professional job.

the second day at uni (aged 18) and I bought random stuff from Tesco that you only buy when you live alone (i.e. your parents cupboard no more) - which was butter. No idea why but this moment has stuck with me for the last 8 years as the defining point of being an adult!

For me it was 22 (my current age). There were many factors but I think the main one was leaving uni and becoming established in my first job.

Oh and my moustache finally connected to my beard :u:

I'm 27 and still don't feel like an adult. Maybe when I have a baby? 😂

20 - don't feel much like an adult yet :nope:

I thought I would when I turned 18 though

16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 28, 30, 35...

All of these turned out to be incorrect in hindsight.

I'm 21 and still don't quite feel like an adult, but I would say that I started to feel more like an adult only around age 20. I've always been a few years behind my peers in maturity though.
