Adults grow up by age of 27

THE average person doesn’t consider themselves to be a grown up until the age of 27, a British survey has found. And around one in 10 adults across all age groups still don’t feel like a grown up, according to the survey of 2000 people. More than half ( 55 per cent) of those surveyed said they felt like a fully mature adult after reaching particular milestones in life. Just over one in five people felt grown up when they had their own children, a further fifth as a result of moving out of their parents’ home, and one in seven when they got married.
