at what age?

[SonicBOOM]

at what age do you feel you made the transition from boy/girl to man/woman? For me? It was probably 19 or so.... when I finnally relized that life is hard and I gotta be strong.

I voted for 22. That is when I moved out on my own and started paying all of my own bills. Up to that point, I had only been responsible for my car payment/insurance and my credit card bill.

i dont know why but i love that movie! to bad brandon lee died.... any back on topic. i said 17. its when i stopped just thinking about big decisions about my future and actualy made them.

I voted 20....I had moved out on my own at 19, failed miserably, wrecked my car, was too proud to tell my parents so I moved in with my boyfriend of two months which was a disaster!

We actually got engaged, then he went all crazy on me and we broke up.

And then I went crawling back to Mama and Daddy and started driving the old Mercury Sable Wagon (aka the MollyMobile)

lol, to me growing up was learning humility, I thought I could tackle the world just because it was me and I'm awesome.

So, by 20 I had started waiting tables again, cleared all of my debt up and learned so many good lessons the hard way.

Now I have an awesome job, boss, car and I'm back in school next semester.

Maybe I should have said 22??

21.

When I realized that there is no "special thing" that will ever try to help you, and you have to duke it out on your own.

I voted for 14 because that was the youngest you listed.

I honestly think I was closer to 7 than to 14. I had a sister who was deathly ill, a grandmother who almost died from a serious illness, and a mother who underwent major surgery all around that time period. I was listening for oxygen tank alarms, ragged breathing, and such things to help exhausted "grown ups."

I understood that life can be difficult, and that to get through life we need our loved ones.

I also understood that money doesn't magically appear, and that hard work is part of life.

[Apollo Celestio]

Yeah, I'm still waiting on that..

 

[skysthelimit]

20 sounds about right, as that's when I started taking a lot of things into my own hands and took on more responsibilities.

You think your mature and know everything about the world until your 40. Then you know that you will never know anything, but will keep evolving until you die.

18.5 when I went into the Corps. Yea... big life changing event.

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

I don't feel like a woman yet. I mean I feel more like one than I did a few years ago but I really think having a family or a career would be the thing that does the trick. I don't think its an age thing.

 

[Marycita]

I'm gonna say 20..because I feel like I am transitioning now...this is the first year that I have been on my own and all that good junk.

haha...it reminds me of that one Britney Spears song as much as I really really don't like her music...

 

[Sleaker]

Even though I function more independantly now than I do then, I'd have to say it started probably when it was about 16, mostly because I had my own job, had my own car, paid bills (even though it was to the parents) and pretty much acted responsibly. The only reason why I would probably think I wasn't mature then is because my mother was quite controlling so it never really felt like I had decisions to make until around 20-21. So I'm kind of split between the two, but I voted for 16 because that's when I feel the transition had marginally been started or taken effect.
