Technically when she turns 21; however, legally I think it's 18. I kind of get those 2 mixed up since it has been over 2 decades since I was those ages, so I tend to forget. However, "emotionally", I think it is when she finally discovers who she is and doesn't have to be a certain way to please other people; because she realizes just the way she is has been "beautiful" all along. I remember I was in my early twenties and I was jogging along a trail. All my life I had tried to be this outgoing person because people put me down for being shy and quiet. I always felt unhappy because no matter how hard I tried to be outgoing it just never felt right, and I thought I must be a bad person for not being able to be that way. I was a phony and people never got to know the real me. The negative people in life had put me down so much that I actually believed it was a "sin" to be quiet. Anyway, I was jogging on the trail; and I started thinking to myself....I'm not breaking the law for being shy and I feel comfortable about it to myself....Why should I have to be any different for certain people. It's not like I'm doing anything gross; like picking my nose or anything...so why should people be offended by my quietness. Suddenly all these tears just started streaming down my face and I felt euphoric. I had finally come to terms with this and discovered who I was all along was just so beautiful. After that day on that trail, I decided I was going to be just who I was meant to be. A nice quiet shy person....and to hell if other people don't like it. After that decision and discovery, I became more relaxed with myself and other people, and I finally came out of the shell all those other "bad" people who had tried to define who I was and should be had put me in. I also now know that those "bad" people were the ones who had the problem and were wrong all along....that it was not me at all that had done anything sinful, bad or wrong by being a quiet person. I'm not kidding you..I really thought I was doing something terrible or sinful after hearing people put me down all those years. Now that I like myself and who I am, the "good" people in life tell me I have a beautiful personality, that I am a conscientious worker, gentle and kind and that I have a beautiful smile and a beautiful personality, and that I am a wonderful wife and good woman. Everywhere I go people tell me how sweet I am. It's wonderful when a woman discovers who she really is, and no longer allows "bad/negative" people to define her. When I think back about it I think a lot of those "bad" people were just jealous and didn't want to see me improve and wanted me to stay that way so they would have a punching bag. Not that way anymore. That's now in my control; not theirs. :) And that's when a girl becomes a woman.

Well, it has nothing to do with age. It has nothing to do with if you have had sex or not. I feel like you become a young lady when your period begins, no longer a child. It has nothing to do with giving birth. Its more like a state of mind. You will know it when it happens to you. You cant make it happen. Just like being sexy. It doesn't matter what you wear, its a state of mind. It comes from with in.

Never. The girl can turn into a woman (singular) but never women (plural).

generally, a girl becoming a women involves having her period and her body developing. it doesn't only involve that, but it also involves adult responsibilties...
