What makes an adult?

In the article, Kimmel poses the question: When does someone actually become and adult? His answer was one that I don't think anyone could disagree with: "They become adults when they feel like adults." He explains this idea by saying that there is no one telling you where to go or what to do after college. You don't have professors or parents guiding your way and you really are required to just make your own path. Typically, this is when a person which actually become an adult. They go out on their own, they buy a house, get married, and have a whole new group of people dependent on them, as they were once dependent on their family. This website looks further into what an adult is and what benchmarks must be reached before someone can be considered an adult. In my opinion, as soon as you're responsible for yourself and can have people depend on you is when you're truly adult. Just because you have a kid or attend school doesn't mean you're ready for that point in your life.
