I'm 20 years old and this is my junior year in college majoring in Economics. Yesterday I went to the bank to withdraw $200 because i needed it for school. The lady at the bank told me that i need my parents authorization to do so.
Another time, the laundry machines in my apartment complex were broken, several people called said we need our laundry machines fixed but nobody came to fix it. Then finally our parents got involved and the people came to fix it the next day.
Why does society expect us to behave like adults, yet still treat us like we are teenagers?

Oh how I long for the days when I was treated like a teenager! Believe it or not some day you will look back on this as the good old days. Life was sweet when I got carded at the bar! Enjoy it while it lasts! By the way you sound very mature for 20 so I can understand why it frustrates you. This too will pass.

It relies upon upon, - the relationship a teenager has with an individual - the adolescents attitude - the concepts the teenager makes EDIT: in conserving with your edit, now no longer totally. a million. No guardian might make their "immature teen" bypass interior the back of the wheel and initiate making use of. making use of is conserving your life on your hands. 2. If a youthful individual isn't brushing their the teeth, taking showers, doing their laundry.... there is something incorrect. 3. If a teenager needs their guardian to be interior the back of them 24-7 to do their homework..... there is something unsuitable. 4. If a teenager starts working, they at the instant are not waiting to apply the "i'm immature" card. reason their boss will anticipate them to do what he/she tells them. there's a distinction between being an immature teenager (see numbered record above) and being a teenager who isn't mature sufficient for particular concerns (see numbered record under). a million. adolescents shouldn't mature sufficient to get pregnant. 2. youthful adults shouldn't mature sufficient to bypass to an further u . s . a . via themself (without supervision). Even training pupils are not mature sufficient for specific issues. no longer being mature sufficient to do regardless of, does no longer make a guy or female "immature". The word "immature" is used while one acts youthful than they're supposed to be appearing. Even a 12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous could nicely be "immature". If a 12 3 hundred and sixty 5 days historic can no longer use the rest room without their mommy's help, they're immature. Or case in point, if a 10 3 hundred and sixty 5 days historic cries everytime their mommy leaves, they're "immature".

When society perceives you as an adult, they will treat you like a adult.
Perception is fickle:
Southerners are considered racist-
Blacks are considered criminals-
Middle Easterners are considered terrorist-
North Easterners are considered gay or at least bi-sexual-
Christians are considered bigots-
Veterans are considered murderers and rapist-
Your time will come, then you can mis-behave like other adults.
