Young Adult

Posted by: Purgatory at 2:41 pm in Life
I was browing bookstores online looking for books and noticed the term Young Adults. While it is not the first time I notice this term, but it was the first time I ever thought about it. So I checked a list of books classified for young adults, and they looked to me as a mixture of books for teens to 20something persons.

On Wiki,

A young adult is in the stage between adolescence and mature adulthood, roughly ages 18 to 25. It may also refer to in
Psychology to persons aged 20 to 40 and in literature, works targeted to ages 12 to 18.

That does not clarify anything to me and I am still confused. Am I considered a young adult psychologically, or should I be a young adult because some of the books that I might like are targeted for a younger age? Why have such a term anyways? Does that mean people over the max. age limit would be considered adults, or as old adults?

On another subject, I am pleased to say that I am approaching post #1000, which will be done a bit differently and possibly with special guests contributing.

i am 28 but still living with my dad yet financially independent. I guess i would consider myself a young adult until I get my own place and fully independent. Age has nothing to do with it.

you shouldn't think much about it; it's only considering Human young adults!

You know how messed up they are! no specific age could clarify them!

Exzombie, I will have to see what the idea is exactly, but you can send me something for later consideration if you want.

im a big fan of harry potter , am i considered a kid?
young adults i think are roughly around 18+ until 30 .. but thats just my opinion then around 30 i think we are adults , no matter what our taste in litriture is. Your an adult when you reach a maturity in thought that you know you didnt have when you was 25 even though , then you thought you was mature enough.

then again i doubt this applies to men, men stop maturing around 20 (my thoery)so i think thats why your confused. The saying goes: the toys dont change they just get bigger .. i bet you a man of 40+ said that ... once on kuwait radio this kuwaiti man said : after 40 just be naughty ! _ i never forgot that ..i was thinking omg ! .. men !

If you still get spankings, are you considered a young adult?
