I didn't read the question properly so put 18! I would say around 21/22. I'm 18 and I certainly don't feel like an adult

To tell you the truth I left that 16/17 option up there to see who’d actually vote that young for adulthood.

I get your point though.

Well 16/17 on average is when people start trying to get a job and be independent, even in this mess of a time it is still the case.

I'm 41 and still as immature as I was at 16, sometimes. I know people in their teens that are more mature than me in some situations. There's some on this forum.

Does anyone ever "feel" like an adult though?

Most people seem to be just scrambling and putting on a face of adulthood, but underneath they are a kid not knowing what the fook is going on.
