Adulthood has nothing to do with an arbitrary number. My 16 year old is more of an adult than most adults I know.

I know very few grown people who can hold a conversation. I know very few grown people that understand nuance. I know very few grown people that aren't riddled with personality disorders making it hard to be close to them. I know very few grown people who aren't weak and their emotional development stopped somewhere in their teens.

My dad died a 63 year old infant.
