Does mature mean adult?
As a result of adolescence, adolescents reach sexual maturity, meaning that they are ready to reproduce. However, before starting a family it is essential to also reach psychological and social maturity. Psychological maturity means the capacity to make independent and responsible decisions, and behaving in such a way, so as not to harm others. A person who is socially mature is able to secure appropriate living conditions, is ready to start a family and take care of them. Only a person who is physically, psychologically and socially mature can be called an adult.
Adolescence is a time where a person's body reaches sexual maturity.
An adult is characterised by sexual, psychological and social maturity.
Only a person who is physically, psychologically and socially mature may be called an adult.
