Adulthood

Adulthood is the stage of life that begins when a person becomes fully developed physically and mentally, typically marked by legal age (such as 18 or 21). It involves taking on responsibilities like working, making independent decisions, and caring for oneself and others. Adults often pursue personal goals, relationships, and career ambitions, while managing the challenges of independence, financial stability, and social obligations. This phase signifies maturity, self-reliance, and the capacity to contribute meaningfully to society, continuing until old age.
