ADULTHOOD
Basically, Adulthood is the age of maturity i.e. an adult is a human that has reached sexual maturity. In our views, the term adult additionally has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In short, a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible😓. This kind of thinking in an adult is very common because, along with physical growth, mental growth is also there.Human adulthood encompasses psychological adult development. But, there are many cases in which, one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility.
In different cultures there are events that relate passing from being a child to becoming an adult or coming of age. This often encompasses the passing a series of tests to demonstrate that a person is prepared for adulthood, or reaching a specified age, sometimes in conjunction with demonstrating preparation. Most modern societies determine legal adulthood based on reaching a legally specified age without requiring a demonstration of physical maturity or preparation for adulthood.
After the social construct of adolescence was created, adulthood split into two forms- biological adulthood and social adulthood. (these two types are discussed shortly below):-
BIOLOGICAL ADULTHOOD:-
Biologically, the base definition of the word adult is the period beginning at puberty.Puberty on average begins around 10 or 11 years of age for girls and 11 or 12 years of age for boys, though this will vary from person to person. Because the term adult is most often used without the adjective social or biological, and since the term is frequently used to refer to social adults, some writers have taken the meaning of the two word phrase biological adult to begin at the end of physical maturation rather than the onset of puberty.
SOCIAL ADULTHOOD:-
Legally, adulthood means that one can engage in a contract. The same or a different minimum age may be applicable to, for example, parents losing parenting rights and duties regarding the person concerned, parents losing financial responsibility, marriage, voting, having a job, serving in the military, buying/possessing firearms, driving, traveling abroad etc. The legal definition of entering adulthood usually varies between ages 16–21, depending on the region in question. Some cultures in Africa(with certification) define adulthood at age 13.
Being an adult, is a great thing. But, adulthood bring very much responsibilities with it, that were not in childhood. But still there are many children, because of financial problems or poverty, they become responsible and do minor jobs to earn some money to help their parents , some children do jobs along with their studies and some don't study for their poverty/ family pressure etc.Being a successful person in life, brings many responsibilities and if you can nicely manage them along with make everyone happy, this will be actual SUCCESS.
