During the condition of being fully mature, we all walk through the crucial years between adolescence and adulthood. Some of us may choose to work or play, to be straight or gay, to embrace education, or reject it. We can be an optimist or a pessimist, to become a leader or a follower. However, no individual who is a fully grown adult should intentionally break their grandmother and mother’s heart. There is a difference between right and wrong!
Once the damage is done, they should immediately work to repair it, or they may carry the weight for a very long time.
- Emotional autonomy refers to becoming free of childish emotional dependence on adults.
- The developmental period of emerging adulthood offers incredible opportunities for growth and change.

Our adulthood is the period in the human lifespan in which full physical and intellectual maturity has been attained.
Adults are answerable for their life obligations, including employment, bill paying, chores, and being as good as their word. We are held responsible for what they sign up to do in both their public and private lives, such as what they say, write, and promises made.
