I think kids begin to become adults around age 20. Prior to that, their bodies are adult, but not their minds. Around age 20 you really start defining yourself. By age 25, you are basically the "who" you are going to be. From there it's just refinement. MHO, of course.

Like you, I demanded a lot of freedom around age 16 - and took it when it wasn't given. Looking at 16 year olds now, I realize how uncontrollably STUPID I was. This age, 16-20, is the age when you want all of the freedom, but lack any of society's real responsibilities. That's why there's little better for you to do with yourself than drink, do drugs, vandalize property, get in fights, have indiscriminate sex, and, oh yeah, go to school a bit.
