How do you know if you're growing up to be a good person? I know that's incredibly vague and direct, but it's something I've been worrying a bit over. I just don't know what to do or how to act in this young adult time, and what I can do to help me continue to grow into a better person. I want goodness and Godliness to become my habit and daily routine, and right now I don't feel like it is or even can be.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

do you find yourself justifying your actions? if you do, you may consider taking a step back and see if you're making excuses to sin
do you believe you have relatively high standards? ex. TV, music, etc.
if you see any issues such as justifying your sins or having low standards, then pray, read the Bible and see that these (and other examples) are crucial, at least i think so, to developing into what a "good" person should contain.

Be patient.
Yield to God's grace to transform you.
Cooperate with God by being obedient in the small things.
Treat other people gently.
It is a long and slow process, and you can trust that the trend is toward moral growth.

You will never be perfect, acknowledging that is the first step.
second step is to think about what you are doing. like spsujc said, if you have to justify it, it's probably wrong.
sometimes though, the devil can make you feel like a bad person. if he knows you're insecure, he'll make you feel worse whispering in to your ear "God will never love you, he will never forgive your sins" Absolute rubbish, of course.
thirdly, read the bible and keep the ten commandments.
BTW, just the fact that you are wondering how to be a better person, is a good start.
