I am truly impressed. You are wise beyond your years. I will have to introduce my 16 year old son to some of your work. I hope that you will continue to learn and grow as an adult. No one has all the answers. Believe me; as a 39 year old, I know. I am a psychology major, have raised 4 children and have numerous life experiences. I learn more every day, including different scenarios in the same situations that I may have already experienced. This brings me to the realization that sometimes there is more than one correct answer. Nice work Scott! I am truly impressed. You are wise beyond your years.

It was so refreshing to read something intelligent from someone so young. My daughter is nearly 29 (yes, 29) with 2 children of her own. She still acts like she's 15. She wants everyone else to take care of her and blames others when things don't go her way. Sometimes I wonder where she came from because she missed the life lessons I was trying to teach her. Good for you! You've given me hope for our youth!!! WOW! It was so refreshing to read something intelligent from someone so young. My daughter is nearly 29 (yes, 29) with 2 children of her own.

You may be very young but being young doesn't mean you can never make a good point. I am very young myself, 18 in fact, and I believe that when you mentally become an adult you realize that you are responsible for your own quality of life. Truthfully you can not control many things that happen in this world, however you can control your own actions. I can't tell you how many people I know that are my age and some a few years older that waste their lives. They refuse to get a job, make excuses to not go to college, and continue to live financially off of others. It isn't the fact that they are poor and unemployed that makes them childish, its the fact that they make this life choice and have the audacity to complain about their quality of life. If your depressed because your poor, put in the effort and get a damn job. If you feel too uneducated to survive in the professional world than go to financial aid and get yourself into college. The bottom line is if your are unhappy with your life, 90 percent of the time your the root cause of your problem. Understanding this is the key to thinking like an adult.

What you really failed to mention about being an adult is the responsibility to take care of yourself - and this means more than just cooking. Being an adult means that you will remember to pick up/clean up after yourself and dispose of it properly ~ regardless of whether you are still living at home, a dorm or sharing an apartment ~ and doing these things without being reminded. Being an adult means that you recognize the difference between chores and responsibility. Personally, I think you wrote a pretty good article.

Also i think intellegence is a sign of how fast you will grow into a more intellectual growth, into an adult. But anyway Mind over Body deffinitly I am only 14 and find myself more advanced than most of regular society, when I go to school and see kids making horrible decisions i stop and think “why what is the point of this”.

I take responsibility for my actions, but I cant help but live with my parents because Im not yet 18. heres an interesting notion. Its quite true that an 18 year old can be quite the adult, and a 40 old can be the child, but what if this line between the two was affected by intelligence, or lack thereof? What if someone had a mental disability or disorder? I doubt the line could be affected by this but I suppose there would be a tendency for unintelligent people to behave most like a child, would there not?
