I don't think it's so much an age thing as it's a state of mind and a certain level of maturity; some people never reach it. Let's face it, there are some people with 30, 40, 50 year old bodies who act like bratty, whiny 16 year olds. There are elderly women who have temper tantrums in the grocery store if they don't get their own way. There are men who think women are self-propelled sex-toys. I'd say a person is an adult when they can take care of themself and respect the rights and needs of every other person they meet.
