Hello everybody, In my opinion, a lot of events of life differentiate children and adults. First of all, to my mind, coming of age of a person is the first step which differentiates a child to an adult, then, the first job, the first salary are an experience which differentiates children and adults because children can't receive salaries. Furthermore, to marry is an experience which takes place in the adulthood, it is a very important moment of the life which means a man will accompany you up to the end of your life. Consequently, to be pregnant, to have a child is a step which makes the big difference between a child and an adult. To finish, maturity and courage make a difference between children and adults also.
During our lives, we grow up from the child we were to the adult we are going to be. I am going to talk about the events which make a person an adult.
In my opinion, children begin to grow up when they begin to leave their parents during a court or long period of time: a summer camp, a school trip or a year in another country or city to study… Or simply when they go to school alone, taking the bus or the tram. Next, I think that each error people make is a way towards maturity. However, we must learn about those errors or faults we make. Besides, when people start to think about their future like “what studies am I going to do next year?” and begin to take responsibilities: it’s a step in the way to be an adult.
Finally, a lot of events make a person an adult but the way that those events impacted people is not the same for everyone so not the same events make a person.
Hi, we are going to talk about childrens and adults. Every child becomes one day an adult. But we will see how can we become an adult.
First at all a child must obey to his parents and therefore do not make decisions. Step by step, this child becomes responsable and has more and more responsibilities. An important event : the bac ! Thanks to it we can start our graduate studies, have a job... I think that thanks to the bac we can take our indepedence. Moreover, when we work, when we find an apartment we must take our responsibilities.
To conclude there are several steps for a child to become an adulte but in my mind, the bac, studies, our work, find an apartment are the most important steps.
Childhood and Adulthood are a different period of life and they often contrast! Childhood is represented like a paradise period, children can do anything But, unlike to this representation, most of the children want to be adult or teenager for having more liberty or doing whatever they want… Because in a majority of event it is always a contradiction, Adults often regret this time of innocence...
I think that the events of ceremonies to make a child become an adult can vary a lot according to different people. A child can become very fast an adult because of conditions of living or problem in personal life, who make him become aware of a certain truth about his condition. Like a person may want to live a life without problems or not in harmony with his environment and this corresponds not to a « general » perception of adulthood.
In my opinion, each person has his own perception of the childhood or the adulthood and what to make to move from one to another
I make some mistakes: -In my second sentence: "Childhood is represented as a period of paradise" instead of "like a paradise period" -In my third sentence: "most children" instead of "most of the children" - " to have freedom and do what they want" instead of "for having more liberty or doing whatever they want" -"In most events there are contradictions" instead of "In a majority of events it is always a contradiction" -In the second sentence of the second paragraph: "because of living conditions" instead of "conditions of living", "personal problems" instead of "problem in personal life" and "which" instead of "who" -In the third sentence, we remove Like from "Like a person" And in the final sentence "What to do" instead of "What to make".
Becoming an adult takes time, experience and maturity. I don't think that reaching the majority makes us an adult.
First, getting a bachelor's degree is a first step. We are starting to develop a plan for the future which makes us more mature because we are planning for a future business which will enable us to provide for our needs. Then, to go into adulthood you have to be responsible, the driving license is a second step. Indeed, driving a car requires a lot of responsibility, seriousness and vigilance, because we have the life of others in our hands. Thirdly, living alone makes us grow. indeed, having to pay rent and charges, and having to feed ourselves makes us more responsible.
In conclusion, there is a difference between adult and child. And some people take longer to mature and thus to go on to adulthood.
First of all, I think that being an adult is not a question of age but rather a question of maturity. Of course, it is true that if we observe an eight-year-old child and a 35-year-old adult we will inevitably see a difference. But this difference narrows as the child grows up and in my opinion there is no particular event that can change a person's behaviour. This change takes place over a few years and is the result of greater independence, responsibility and awareness of the realities of life. However, it is true that for some children this change is somewhat constrained by unfortunate events such as a death that can contribute to a trigger. That is why, at a certain stage, age and experience are no longer a factor in this maturity because it becomes more subjective. Finally, it should not be forgotten that in everyone the transition is different and each individual has a different experience of life.
Hi everyone, We will talk about events making a child become an adult.
For me the first thing making a child into an adult it is the detachment with these parents, that is to say responsible. The child if he wants to acquire the adult statue he will have to be autonomous. For example, do not be afraid to go buy bread alone , this is it's small experience that make a child an adult.
But eventually, an experience we are really preparing for adult life is the baccalaureate. Because we will have to organize ourselves well in our work to pass the final exam.
In the end for a child to become an adult he must learn to go trough a few stages of life without the help of these parents.
Hello, First of all, I think being an adult is not an age question but a maturity question. For example, someone who is 14 years old can act more like an adult than another people who is 35. Nevertheless, some people in some countries or in some religion have to do celebration such as girls in South America. They do a party in order that the girl becomes a woman, it called the quinceanera. I think it’s a way to have fun and to have good memories before the girl leaves their parents to go to university. In my opinion, being an adult is to make decisions for a better future without help. One should not forget that we don’t have to be selfish in our decisions and we have to listen and take care of people. It ’s also the fact to assume our faults and to fix them. To conclude, being an adult is not a party, an age but a work on itself which can take a long time. Marie Espinosa 1es2
To my mind, there is a difference between children and adults. In fact, to become adult we need to work, have a family and a house. We need also to be autonomous and independent. To finish for be adult we needs to know how to care for a children.
So there is a difference between children and adults.
Most people make a difference between children and adults. But what makes a child an adult in the end ? In the law, it is written that a minor child becomes an adult at the age of 18. But what would be the difference between a 17-year-old child and a 19-year-old adult? I think that being an adult means taking responsibility, assuming your mistakes, learning to manage all possible situations and becoming an example for the youngest. To be an adult is to behave as such. It means stopping being a child, it means understanding that there is reason before the heart and the desires. Not being an adult is giving in to temptation. Being an adult isn’t just having a driver's license and being able to vote. Normally one is supposed to become a responsible adult with age and time but some still can't and probably never will... BESCOND Mathilde 1S1
First I think that a teenager who hasn’t already got 18 years old can have an adult behavior and the opposite is also true. Indeed for me being an adult isnt’t just to drink liquors with friends or to go in nigthclubs to do parties. It’s deeper than that. Being an adult means for me to know how you will act with someone in troubles , how you can solve problems and assumate consequences of them. In order to achieve that, you have to succeed in getting out some sad or happy events such as the divorce of your parents or your success in the final exams. It’s that kind of events which make us older and responsible likewise an adult.
Sorry I made some mistakes: It is « who hasn’t already got 18 » instead of « who isn’t 18 years old yet » , « to go in nightclubs to do parties » instead of « to go to nigthclubs to have parties » and « assumate » instead of « assume ».
Hi everyone, Many things differentiate children from adults.
First of all, we all start from being children who don’t have any responsibilities and haven’t experienced many things yet, to being (usually) mature and responsible adults. Legally, someone becomes an adult at the age of 18. However, the older you get, the more responsible you’ll become.
Kids haven’t experienced many things yet such as getting an apartment, paying your own bills etc. To me, that’s what makes the difference between a child and an adult. The more things you experience, the older in your head you get.
To conclude, there are many things that differentiate a child to an adult. Events and time make a child get older and builds him to become a responsible and mature adult.
Hello everyone, we'll talk about the differents stages from childhood to adult. First, a child must obey and respect the adults around him, and then respect and obey what he does not know. Then he must succeed in his studies, to find the vocation he wants. He must become autonomous, especially if he wants him and his future family to succeed in living in good conditions (house, food, clothes ...) he will have to find a job. To conclude, these are different stages of childhood to become adult. Loic Ligonniere TES3
We can notice in our everyday life, that certain adults behave like child while on the other hand certain child behave like adults. Therefore the limit in between adult and childhood is in some instance marginal.
First, some children have been forced by life events to act as adults, and therefore did not enjoy a peaecefull childhood. For example, a kid in a war zone can’t laugh, can’t play with his toys. He will never know the pleasure of childhood. He will become mature faster than European kids for instance.
To be an adult could mean to act with maturity but it is not enough to define adult behaviour. An adult has to be responsable for his acts contrary to a kid. If a kid steal a candy, the first time he didn’t know that it’s bad. So life experiences transform a person to an adult, you learn as you grow up. Your all life teaches you some limits, rules, dangers, and when you learn that, you became an adult.
To conclude, I think that experiences in the daily life are more useful than specific ceremonies like the wedding to transform you as an adult. The time and the life will build your mindset.
Hello, For the state a person becomes of age as soon as he turns 18 so if this person makes a mistake she will be treated as an adult person and not as a child even if we aren't mature enough as an adult. For me, a person becomes an adult when she becomes truly mature and assumes her responsibilities. So when she makes a mistake she calls herself into question and an adult person is not focused on her person and does not think she is always right. A person really becomes an adult often because of an event that has changed his life but not necessarily, for example when some people have a child, they change completely. So I think that everything depends on the hardships of life and that some people have a harder life so can have the mind that an adult person when they aren't 18 years old.
For me being an adult is much more than just experiences, ceremonies and events. Being an adult is a state of mind.
Many students will tell you that in some cultures you have to face your fears, your responsibilities… in others that you have to go through many ceremonies, such as Bar / Bat Mitzvah to become an adult. But in my opinion being an adult it’s much more. Being an adult is not something that you can determine with a list of actions, experiences, ceremonies and events, it’s something within. When I hear some people talk I always hear them say “I don’t/ do feel like an adult”, so does this sentence mean that being an adult is just a sensation, a “feeling” that we have inside? If that’s so, this means that no age, no actions, experiences… can determine if you’re an adult and that you are the only person who is able to tell, show others that you are an adult regarding whatever people think. 168 words Alexandra BERTEAU TS3
To be an adult is to have responsibilities; age does not make one an adult. In the eyes of the law and its identity card, one can be, but not often at the level of the mind. To become an adult is to be free of your choices and to know how to assum the consequences of that freedom. An adult, to me, is someone who has his responsibility and who assumes them. He is also a mature and autonomous person, not necessarily intelligent but who knows the meaning of the words family, love, happiness and respect. It’s not age-related; it’s experience-related. It’s also people-related, some being more mature than others. But living alone, sharing your life with someone, having children, working are for example events that make us realize that we are responsible for someone/something.
Hello, I believe there are many opinions with many points of view about this question. First of all I truly think there are no events that make a person an adult, it’s only with time, there are no special experiences that trigger being an adult. But I understand the fact that some events could be linked with « having responsibilities », but they don’t necessarily make someone an adult. If I had to choose specific events though, I would say becoming a homeowner, earning your own money, living without your parents, doing things without asking them, traveling whenever you want, thus becoming independent.
As far as I’m concerned, I’m really convinced that you can/could experience all of that without being an adult. Unfortunately, some teenagers have had to assume big responsibilities without having a choice. I know someone who has been living on her own since she was 15 years old because she didn't get along with her father, and she had to face things that normally adults deal with. And of course, she is mature thanks to that (or because of that) and she is actually becoming an adult faster than others. But in fact I think that at our age we shouldn’t live that. All in good time, it's not a race. And for those who really don’t want to evolve in their head, mentalities they won’t and the fact that they own a home doesn’t mean they are adults. It’s all about responsibilities and willingness to work through it. This is the real starting point of adulthood : it is being independent (by your will, or by being pushed). Nowadays, most teenagers want to become adults at our young age by doing things they consider like « adult things », for instance : smoking, over drinking, hanging out all the time, etc… (there are also good things like wanting to drive, working directly in industries, etc… but they are minor). As a matter of fact, we have to enjoy our age without being excessive, I understand that they want to « experience » life and enjoy but there are not the only ways. To become a fulfilled adult, we have to do some little « sacrifices » at our age, of course school is an ordeal for some and for a huge part of us boring, but that’s where life begins, and working is part of being an adult for me. This work we do now, will allow us to be happy when we’re older, and we’ll thank ourselves for doing what we did. And in our society, we have to grasp everything, our whole life. Besides, some adults want to go back in time to enjoy more the age when they had fewer responsibilities. Thus we have to live at the age we are, enjoying but also considering the future.
In conclusion, it is our whole life of as former children or teenagers that makes us adults, not only some events. And what we have to do is living with « our » time , enjoying but considering the future so that we don’t have regrets.
Correction : -I understand that they want to enjoy* life but there are not the only ways. -we have to make* some little « sacrifices » at our age -In conclusion, it is our former* lives* of children or teenagers that make* us adults, not only some events.

In conclusion, it is our whole life of as former children or teenagers that makes us adults, not only some events. And what we have to do is living with « our » time , enjoying but considering the future so that we don’t have regrets.
