It kind of sucks how people can just say "I don't want kids, I want to focus on having a job" and then they can just do that, but they can't say "I don't want a job, I want to focus on having a family", because then they don't have any money. Because that's totally what I would do. Also lol, 13 and 15 year old people saying that kids suck, for me you are still kids, or at least almost

I am now officially considered in the economically active age group, but yeah, I still act like a kid.

It's interesting how people think that teenagers aren't children, because for me you're still a child until you're 18. Sure, a lot of people stop acting childish at 14/15 (from my experience, at least), but you're still not an adult. Interesting how YA fiction is targeted at older teenagers rather than actual young adults.

Recently, me and some buds were talking about the embarrassing salsa we did as 12-15 yr olds. We decided it would be best if all 12yr olds would be sent to a kind of kung fu monastery, cut off from all the others to spare them your embarrassing behaviour, and there you also learn valuable life skills. When you're 15/16 you come back and you're awesome. It kind of sucks how people can just say "I don't want kids, I want to focus on having a job" and then they can just do that, but they can't say "I don't want a job, I want to focus on having a family" Um, you can when you find a partner who has a good job that can finance the family. That's the traditional way, innit

Interesting how YA fiction is targeted at older teenagers rather than actual young adults. It seems to me that childhood is ending earlier and earlier, but adulthood is beginning later and later, so the gap between them keeps increasing. Nowadays we have tweens between children and teenagers, and something there is no word for between teenagers and adults. In a few years time, childhood will end at five, but adulthood won't begin till fifty. As for fiction, first teenage fiction was labelled 'Young Adult', but then the term seems to be extending its scope to include a lot of what used to be children's fiction. I've heard ASOUE called YA quite often, though it's marketed as 9-12.

I don't really feel like an adult yet, but I also never felt like a teenager. I'm just sort of me.
Things being labelled "Young Adult" makes no sense to me really, because I think the important point that makes adults adults is that they don't have their own books and films and things like that anymore and read/watch/etc. the same things as all adults do.

I started feeling like an adult when I was maybe like 20/21-ish
PS I totally have my own house, mortgage and everything, and all 667ers have a standing invitation to come crash here if you're ever in Utah.

I don't fell much like an adult, but I think I only see someone as an adult when they're able to pay for their own accommodations and stuff to live. That or when they're raising a family.
