Question by Dave: According to Science what age do you become an adult?
People could live to be 150 in the future and childhood extending may not be such a bad idea and I feel that its because people did things so young thats it damages or could damage their brain like drinking alcohol at 18.The “Adolescent” brain grows into the 20’s the “frontal lobe” and I was wondering why is the Government not looking at SCIENCE facts like MADD is for opposing lowering the drinking age to 18.I believe REAL adulthood is 35 and over!

Answer by DJ
like you said, REAL adulthood starts in the late 20’s early 30’s. and it’s also my opinion, scientifically also this is true. hopefully this helps, bye!

Answer by Robert
There are different stages of being an adult but as soon as puberty is over, your body will have full adult functionality. One of the issues with this is teenage girls having babies without being done with puberty -it can be dangerous. A 16 or 17 year old girl can safely have a child with no ill affects, other than physiological immaturity.
