Most of people experience adolescence around at age 15~16. I think this is a signal of becoming adult.
They can think rationally, and they are more and more independent. This is why I think people of the age 15 is adult..
In general, Korean consider a person of the age 20 is adult. Maybe, the fact that graduated from highschool and entering the university is the important thing decide whether adults or not in Korea.
I'm Korean. Although I originally think the age of 15 is adult, I can't avoid Korean's thinking pattern.
I feel I'm adult when I graduated from highschool, too. Because until highschool graduation, our life is binded. In Korea, adult's another name is free. I could feel free after highschool's big exam(수능).
The decision of university is important thing to us. 'Free' is so good, but sometime so worried.
