Does turning 18 really mean that you’re an adult?

Officially, yes.

But no.

It takes time.

Guidance.

Learning.

Support.

It's a process 🥰💚

Yes legally, but I still pretty much feel like a teen inside, irl idk ppl have always assumed my age to be more then the actual one, cus of my looks and stuff- and now when I see myself in the mirror, I suddenly look way grown then i was couple months ago...so irl I guess i can pass for an adult. Idk mentally tho, I'm very awkward and shy during most interactions, in home I still feel like a kid maybe because I'm the youngest in my family. I sometimes feel very grown up and sometimes feel like a teen/ not adult enough.. in situations, but maybe that's all this phase is all about.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Some people go their entire lives without reaching adulthood...I believe there are more fools like that around today (in the Western world, at least) than in any previous era.
