People grow, mature as they turns into an "adult".
Resolves are made, throughout our life.
Do we stop questioning these "questions" as we grow?
is it because we had found our answers, our resolves to them?

I will never stop questioning.
If this means that I will never fully mature then so be it.
History's greatest thinkers kept pondering life's mysteries throughout their lives. Do you think Plato and Socrates became complacent once they turned 25? The mind is the greatest tool you will ever possess, don't let it go to waste.

According to development system theory growing up is not a linear process. This is evident: e.g. in puberty one tends to question his or her appearance far more than before. It is indeed vital to see that interests change. Sometimes the questions themselves remain intact although the contexts which in fact constitute these questions differ. So, it is no case of maturing, or of ripening, or of actualizing (cf. Aristotle), as if there is some kind genetic (or other teleological) substratum which pushes a person to its ('full') adult person hood. In short: what i mean with 'me' varies in time, therefore personal answers (choices) can never be ultimate and final.

If we are truly alive, we never stop growing, mentally, though we certainly grow more slowly. That involves questioning the answers we've found. The real trick lies in finding the questions. Usually the "answers" we find are shaped by the questions we ask. Ho hum - the growing pains never stop, though we learn to fret about them less (along with all the others) as we grow older and possibly wiser.

Hey I am an old adult ( by your standards) but I never cease to question. I question more as the years fly by cos I can see better. There is no peer pressure. no keeping up with the Jones's etc I cant be brainwashed so easily. When I was young I was more impressionable & was busy trying to impress & act the 'good' child !

No. It's because now we know what is really important and don't get bent out of shape over small stuff.
We don't question a lot of things later in life because we already have the answers, from experience.

Life has many questions that are never really answered satisfactorily but the older one gets the more responsibility one has and one has to get on with the business of life rather than sitting around pondering things.

I don't believe we "stop questioning these questions as we grow". I believe we grow by questioning these questions. You do not have to stop growing, but some people do. And surely when we find our answers it opens the door to more questions. I believe this is part of growing up...but we should never stop growing.

I think the questions change, and as we grow some are not as important to us as they were earlier in life, and finally, we forget the questions altogether.

everyone has different limits in growing - be it the mind or our physic. it's like someone's height, while others stop growing, others will keep growing taller. the mind is the same.
we constantly grow until we reach our own limits, but everyone stops growing one day.....
