For myself and most people I know you start to become an adult around 23 -30 though of course every person is different.
As for chossing what is best for yourself there is no answer, at 35 I still don't know if many of the choices i made were right, i don't dwell on it though, you can't change the past.
I actually thought and so did all my friends, that i would be the last to get settle down etc however i hit 22 and met my girlfriend whom i have been with ever since. Even then we only really settled down and got a mortgage etc 5 years ago after a couple of years of travelling together.
Thgere are no answers to this question really, things will happen for you the way you want them to or they won't. Most likely they won't but that doesn't mean a bad thing, it just means sometimes you don't actually know what you want until it hits you and suddenly everything changes.

I don't think this question has anything to do with experience. It's a question of wisdom.
"i am now mature" - Don't be mature, be wise.
"i can judge people the way they are" - Don't judge anyone.
"i will fall in love with the right person" - If its true love then it IS the right person.
"i will choose the best job for me" - Always look at the good bits.
"i will raise a wonderful family" - A wonderful family is one that you love.
Smile and be happy.

I have been married for 8 years and you know what I still feel like an adult imposter. One of these days the gig is up for me and everyone will realise that I sm really an adventerous kid at heart.
The answer to that is there is isn't really ever a time in your life when you can say that. That is waht life is all about and it is very unpredictable.

It will not happen, because it is not the age that will us that we are already matured. Everybody has a certain maturity and immaturity. Just like no one is perfect. It is not how many times we fall that counts but how many times we stand after we fall that matters.

Age brings experience - but unfortunately cant prevent us from making mistakes/bad judgement etc etc. The oldest person in the world will make just as many mistakes as an 18 year old - all we can do is learn from them and not repeat them!

This will never happen. Even at eighty you can still make bad decisions. It's just part of life. I think that you are grown-up when you can accept that making bad choices is something that can happen but when it does you take responsibility for it yourself and sort it out.

As above, life continues to be an experience and you should learn something new everyday. The problem is to remember not to repeat mistakes.

Never stop faling down. That's the way it is. Mature people keep getting up.

You have to learn to help yourself when bad things happend,because only when you learn to stand up to problem you'll be stronger every time after that...I say that when something bad happends, no one knows for what that could be good!Learn something from everything.Be happy and love yourself
