LIFE STAGES

In some countries the age to be considered an adult is 18 like in Spain, however in some others the age is 21. But from my point of view adulthood can not be defined with an age, it is more about maturity, which can come in any stage of your life. Also it isn´t something that could change from one day to another one like waking up and suddently being an adult, it is a long slow process which varies depending on the person.

Also, experiences trigger maturity. It is not the same one person who has lived in different countries, had to adapt multiple times and has known a lot of different people that other person from the same age who has grown in the same place doing the same things with the same people.

Moreover, because of all of this I think it is a waste of effort denying arguments from other people because of their age with the excuse of "You are too young for talking about that" or "You don´t know about that yet" which is something old people usually do when a teenager speaks. There are many young people that have won prices about revolutionary inventions, debate etc whose voices had to be heard.

To put it in a nut shell adulthood doesn´t depend of an age and responsibility doesn´t come with it either.
