to be an adult

For me, to be an adult is having oneself.
if you rely on others or you have dependent life, you still can be an adult.
what is the most important is how you think and how you act.
if a child has his own mind and not be changed by anyone, then, he is an adult.

am I an adult?
no.
I sometimes loose myself by my surrounding.
my parents and friends help me finding my way.
but I think most of people need other's help for how to live in their lives.
the word "adult" is just for social rule for me.
