PRETENDING ADULT

Sorry, it has been a while. Today It's all about pretending adults, or rather an immature adult. We all know that a person above eighteen or slightly eighteen is regarded as a young adult, but once you attain twenty-one years of age. The person is now a full adult, who can sign a contract and can make all law binding decisions.

Actually, they are people who are above the said age; twenty-one but are still very much a child or teenager. Their mental capacity is just like that, they think like a child. I call them Pretending Adults. 

Adulthood is not about the age or number in the years that count. It is not about I am thirty or forty or whatever age people deem maturity as. It's about the experience, it is more about what you have faced, what you can point to as our achievement, more on what had happened and how you dealt with the occurrence. The rational decisions. The realness in reality – how you have decided to face reality.

The problem some youth find solution to when they are down. Some adults still whine and lament like children when they are supposed to seek answers to whatever problem comes in, and expect to grow in thinking, they will only be children in the eyes of many.

Just like a lot of children could attain adulthood before the age, due to the loss of family members and having no one to cater for them, but themselves. The same way an adult who is a child within relying on his or her parent to do all that she is suppose to be capable of doing.

Let me take this as an example, at the age of thirty, let's forget about the economy and all, a woman is expecting her own mother to feed her, clothe her, buy her sanitary pads. The worst been she doesn't see anything wrong about it because she felt it's suppose to be her mother's duty to do all that for all. Honestly, it might not be wrong due to the economy, but it is very wrong thinking she could sleep and wake to expect the old woman to cater for her need.

That is one pretending adult, deciding to advise the younger ones, yet she acts too immature to see her own faults.

Another one is the stubborn adult, who thinks they knew all and did not need help or advice from anyone. I also call the Pretending adults. As an adult, they should have the knowledge that no one is above all. We are all here (in the world) to learn, and we can gain understanding from anyone. I always believe that the age group stubbornness trend is during our adolescent because we think we are growing and deserve the right to make our decisions.

Any adult who thinks likewise is like a child, to me. That's why when someone young is trying to fight depression on some issue, an adult will be thinking of committing suicide on the same issue.

I do not regard all adults as pretending adult. They are certain adult I call pretending adult
