Answer 9

There is no magic age at which you become adult. At 16 you have a lot of opportunities to make adult decisions, whether your parents want you to or not, some of which WILL impact the rest of your life. You're still figuring out who you are, so my advice is not to get yourself into anything you can't get yourself out of later. Focus on school/sports/extracurriculars, because that's what you'll miss most later on.

Answer 10

Nope.

Answer 11

Yuhu I do. I'm legally allowed to go to Reading festival on my own because I'm 16, but people under 16 have to be accompanied by an adult. So yeah I do.

Answer 16

no.

i'm 19, married and have a baby on the way, and i still consider myself a kid!

and when i was 16 i thought i was an adult, and i rebelled against my parents and any authoritative figure.... and i found out that life's alot harder than people draw it out to be... i was faced with bills, feeling hopeless, and not having that luxury of ALWAYS having mom or dad when you need to borrow the car or need some cash....

seriously DON'T grow up too fast.

because this is the time of your life, and if you waste it away by trying to be an "adult" you'll look back and wish you could do it all over again.

the problem with society is kids either are forced to grow up too fast or they make a choice to make adult decisions... don't be another statistic.

Answer 17

No way.  

Answer 18

Definitely NO.

This is when most people are immature.

Answer 19

heck NO!!!

Answer 20

Yes, that is the legal age of consent.

Answer 21

Definitely not. Legally 18 is, but I'm not so sure even then they are adults mentally. I'm 26 and still don't feel like an adult.

Answer 25

Nope, I'm 18 and i wouldn't call myself an adult.

Answer 26

not at all, I am 80000 and i do not consider myself an adult

Answer 27

Adulthood, in all except the legal sense, has little to do with what your age is and much more to do with how you age.

I know a 16-year-old who is a junior in college who, in most ways, I would consider more 'adult' than most 20-year-olds I know (I had the privilege of instructing her in quantum mechanics; she was using the Schrodinger equation before she was issued a driver's license!).  And on the other hand, there are thirty-somethings with maturity levels that should make most reasonable people wonder about giving them the responsibility to drive.

So, it would depend heavily on the 16-year-old in question, and in exactly what sense we're considering 'adulthood.'

Answer 28

No

Answer 29

no, i would say more or less "young adult" with reservations but in my eyes they are still just a teen
