I do get what your saying, and I know age is entirely subjective. With the added years to our life span (thanks, medicine! **** you, medicine?!), we can mature slower, I guess. But I've long struggled with the concept of adulthood. Is it thrust upon us at 18? Or is it a gradual building up of something? It seems like we're treated like kids for FAR too long. Like we're excused from maturing into rational, adult people. I think I prefer the idea that children be treated as if they are people. That's not to say that they can't have fun, of course, but I think Americans tend to infantalize young adults. It leaves them (ME) a bit unprepared for the world at large.

Then again, I know plenty of people my age who seem to balance being resposible while maintaint their youthful vigor and sense of fun, soooooo....

I have no idea what I'm talking about, really.
