Is this a mental disorder? If not, what is it?

Question

A teenager or young adult who's desperate to grow up too quickly. EX: get married and have children.

Is it a mental disorder? If so, what is the name of it? If not, what causes them to want to grow up so fast?

Answer 1

It’s called nature. It’s perfectly normal to want to grow up. We all have to do it and it doesn’t help that we live in a society that tries to keep people as children until they’re 30. Biological children become adults around the age of 14, so the mind is capable of acting adult like if given the opportunity.

Answer 2

I couldn't wait to grow up either. I hated my teen years.  

Answer 3

There can be many reasons, but I am sure it is a cognitive deficit.  Usually people who want to grow up so fast have not included grown up responsibilities into the equation.  But let's face the purpose of growing up is to try your own ideas on the open market of life.  Many young people think they can do t better than someone else; maybe they can, but life can come at you fast.

Answer 4

it's a weakness problem.  

Answer 5

"Too big for their britches" syndrome.

Answer 6

People who want to experience life in advance of their age,in fact they sometimes are just looking for attention..Sometimes they are bored with their life or situation..Teenagers especially are proned to want to push the buttons of life,and whatever they can experience a situation which is really beyond their comprehension.. Its also a desire of a lot of teenage girls to want to be married and have babies.. What they really  are wanting is the end result of what they think their life is meant to be.. BUT,,they are insecure about the fact of if they will be able to progress through the ordeal of dating and courtship and everything that leads up to marriage..Its just immaturity,,and not being sure of themselves..No disorder,,just dread of the reality of life..As life progresses,,our ideas change,,especially as we mature.. And since life is a journey and not a destination,we all have to live in our own ways,,all you can do is observe from afar,,and hope she slowly matures into it..  SOLOMON

Answer 7

Sound to me like your are a very intelligent person who is bored with life. I bet someday you will look back on these days, wishing you were still here ---time in the future when you have kids requiring all your time, a spouse that does not cooperate, bills to pay, and you have a bad cold.

Maybe you think your parents are too strict. Maybe they are -----but someday you will be in their shoes.

Only today is real ---don't miss out on life by thinking always of the future or other imaginings.

Here are some arguments you can use with your relative.
