Life starts in the blink of an eye when a cell meets with another. The process of childbirth is a very beautiful but irritating one, depending on the person.

From childhood, we've been taught, groomed and trained in a particular way to follow so that we will become valuable people to our community and the world at large.

I almost forgot, happy new month everyone. Hehe.

Some people face hardship in life starting from a very young age. They gain experience, know how to handle pain and their id, ego and super ego tend to grow faster than we can imagine. Due to this hardship, they tend to critically discern on any situation, thus, standing out by getting profound solutions to any problem they ever encounter in life. My country is filled with people like this. From birth, they tend to face lots of hardship which has helped make them better people in life. Though some who are not strong enough tend to go through the wrong path that always land them into trouble.

Speak of country and growth. Fo a person to top being a minor in my country, they must have attain the age of 18. I have not actually make any research to know why this is so.

I do not see it as a bad thing, but I think it's too early. Undoubtedly, 18 is enough for a person to develop all sexual features as well as be able to critically think out factual solutions to diverse problems. However, most people lack experience to deal with the real work which makes them to more or less still be unfit to be seen as a major.

From my perspective, being a major comes with lots of responsibilities which an 18 year old kid can not yet handle. These responsibilities are enough to make a weak run made.

Personally, I would say that the age be shifted to 20. Not that the person will still have enough experience, but then, the person would have experienced a handful of things from life. The person would have gone to school or gone to learn a skill which will teach the person how hard life can be, thus, giving him some experience.

Age 20 is enough to be sure that a person has grown of age to be able to take care of themselves. Many people tend to miss the freedom of being being a being able to make decisions for themselves. Some begin to drink and take hard substance, some begin so smoke uncontrollably. They tend to misuse this freedom.

The age 20 is actually ideal for a person to be seen a mature. During this age, people tend to get little experience from their environment.

On second thought

Age does not really matter in things like this. I think, with experience comes maturity. A person who have not actually experienced how hard life can be, will never be able to understand anything in life. That person will be as weak and flaccid as a freely hanging male gonad.

Maturity comes with a lot of experience. A person must experience the good, the baddest (not just bad) and the ugly as well as the hardest of it all. Not only that, they must be able to navigate through these times with little or no help from others, face betrayal and learn alot from all of these hardships. Failure to learn will not help the person grow and be seen as mature.
