In some ways culture today has pushed "adolescence" well into the 20s. Many kids going off to college, don't have any sense of responsibility or respect towards others. College is treated like a giant party with a little bit of school on the side.
So in some ways, more people in their 20s are less responsible than they should be by now. That's only in general though.
Each person's life is different. Some people are forced to grow up faster than others. Some people already have families in their 20s, and some don't. Doesn't make one better than the other, they're just in different stages of life.
Most of my 20s have been pretty rough, fighting depression, but they've also had some good times. And I've learned a lot from it and also grown closer to God in many ways. But now I believe I've gotten more of a handle on it, and when you go through something like that, it gives you a lot of compassion, patience, and grace for things other people are going through.
So I'm content to be where I am now, I may not be married or in the same place as many people my age, but that's okay. Because of what I've experienced, I feel my relationship with God is that much stronger.
