Answer 1

Nothing. Do you honestly expect anyone to consider you mature when you say something like, "at 16 i was only 94% mature but now i'm like 96%!!" as if anyone would or could see the difference?

I don't treat or consider teens as children or babies. They're biologically, legally, and mentally closer to adults than they are children and infants.

Answer 2

for me is the samething

Answer 3

The difference between 16 and 17 year olds is one year. Other than that, I really don't get you! Sorry.

When I turned 17 I felt no different to when I was 16.

Answer 4

You are at most 60% mature. I'm 50 and still not there. But around your mid twenties a light goes off.

A 16 year old who grows up in a war ravaged country is going to mature faster then a spoiled kid in the suburbs. But for a single person one year isn't going to make a huge difference.

"Researchers are now confronted with structural changes that occur much later in adolescence. The teen's gray matter waxes and wanes in different functional brain areas at different times in development. For example, the gray matter growth spurt just prior to puberty predominates in the frontal lobe, the seat of "executive functions"

Answer 5

I actually think that age doesn't play much of a role in determining the maturity level of oneself because isn't it experience that we get our wisdom from? It depends on how much you've gone through, and how much you've learned from them to become mature enough.

A sixteen year-old may be more mature than a fifty year-old because of the things that person went through numerous events wherein his/her strength and ability to make the right decisions was demanded of him/her, while the fifty year-old's life merely contained fooling around, drinking alcohol too much, and wasting his/her life on insignificant things.

Maturity really depends upon yourself, and not your age.

Well, that's why I think. Perhaps I'm wrong, but perhaps I'm actually right. I certainly don't know the truth to that - after all, I'm just fifteen.

I hope you'll be able find the right answer that you're looking for!

Answer 6

Depends on the person, some 16 year olds are very mature and responsible and continue that as they grow older. Some 16 year olds do not change when their birthday comes around. So, there is no real answer for this.

A better question would be what is the difference in maturity and responsibility when going from 17 to 18, or 20 to 21. For many, it goes down because they abuse their new abilities to drink and or smoke.  

Answer 7

I believe that experience matures you, not years. And if you think you're 96% mature just because you're 17, you're sorely mistaken and it shows just how immature you still are.

Answer 8

Well really, you don't ever feel the difference when you're a year older. However you will be more mature then when you was a baby, where other people did things for you like dressing you, feeding you, etc and yes you do feel allot more mature when you was just 10yrs old. Its just a growing up thing. You're more mature when you are living on your own, paying your bills, having a full time job and even raising a family.

16yrs ---

Still in school, studying.

Hanging out with friends.

Getting into trouble more.

17yrs-----

Driving lessons, eventually you'll will get to drive a car.

Have a job

You won't have to come to school anymore, unless you want to continue studying A levels.  

Answer 9

Trust me, even though you feel that you're that mature, you really aren't. 17 years old really is nothing. Until you have to grow up and start doing everything on your own, you're not really as mature as you thought you were. Being an adult is not an easy thing and it takes a ton of learning and maturity. I'd say you're closer to 60% mature. You probably have grown and learned to take responsibility more, but wait another 5-10 years when you're living on your own, facing your own bills and job, and possibly raising a family. I'm 28 and having my first child and even I don't think I'm fully mature yet. It's all a growing and learning process.
