young adult

A young adult is someone typically between the ages of 18 and 25, who is transitioning from childhood to full independence. This stage involves developing personal identity, making significant life choices like careers or higher education, and establishing social and financial stability. While still gaining experience and often exploring different paths, young adults are recognized for increased autonomy and responsibility. They may be finishing school, starting jobs, or forming long-term relationships. This period is important for growth, self-discovery, and laying the foundation for adulthood.
