Am I a child or an Adult?

Question

I'm 17 years old :)

does that make me young?

Answer 1

It makes you a teenager.  Not quite an adult, and no longer a child... an adolescent I guess.  Or maybe a young adult?

Answer 2

Child.

Answer 3

Not a girl, not yet a woman

Answer 4

your not really a child. but your not legally an adult until your 18. I think the best description would be teenager.  

Answer 5

Are you legal to do anything

Can you work 40 hours

Can you miss school without a note for your parents

At 17 you are still a child

Answer 6

Legally, you are a child.

However, you may or may not be adult like. I don't know you, your personality, or your maturity level, so I can't say, but either way you are legally a child.

Answer 7

Well by law you're still considered a child. You'll for certain be an adult when you turn 18. Stay young as long as you can. Enjoy life.....  

Answer 8

You are a young adult, until u are 18 that is.

Answer 9

A child.  I don't even think you're an adult until you're on your own paying your way through life.

Answer 10

It depends who you ask.  When I was 17 I was told that I was a young adult and not a child any more but I still considered my self a child.  I would say that you are a child still.

Answer 11

umm yeah i think it is called a teenager? in between child and adult. no offense but that is kinda a stupid question  

Answer 12

If you have to ask your still a child....

your a adult when you work,  pay for everything yourself and are responsable for your actions...

enjoy being a child cuz when your a adult there will be time that you miss sleeping all day and asking the parents for a 20$ so you could go to the movies

Answer 13

You are a young adult but still a minor

Answer 14

Child - don't be in a hurry to grow up

Answer 15

At 17 you are still a child and young. Even tho at 18 most will consider you an adult, you are still a teen until you turn 20.  

Answer 16

you are definitely a child but not like a little kid though but not an adult either. You are a young adult  

Answer 17

an adult you are but might wanna hold up on the responsibility

Answer 18

Child.  

Answer 19

By law you are considered a child.  You won't be an adult until you reach your 18th birthday.
