Hi Everyone! It's the weekly featured contents for Week 112:- Edition 02:-.And the topic given out to be discussed is "The Ideal Adult Age."
At what age does one stop being a minor in your country?
Well,in my country, Nigeria,I don't think there's an age for someone to get to before he or she stops being a minor.
What I know that's more common is that the moment you're done with school, regardless of your age, you've become an independent person and not a minor anymore.
Many parents in my country, Nigeria, always believe they've done their best and render all the assistance they can render to you as their child the moment you're done with your education and service.
They always feel they've helped you push to a level of your life where you cannot be afraid again to face life and also become an independent person of your own, regardless of your age.
It is something that happens to many Nigerians. And then, at this point in your life, my dear, it's you against the world and not others.
What I feel about it.
Do you feel that it's too soon or too late?
Honestly, for me, I feel it's too soon because some of these people are fresh graduates, and not all of them can adapt quickly to the system of life.
And I'm literally speaking for the young ones, who were privileged to enter school on time and finish fast. They shouldn't be pushed out too fast.
Some of them should be given a little time to be able to know what's next and what steps to take next to avoid getting into wrong decisions and regrettable conclusions.
Because it's a new face of their lives, if they don't choose carefully, they might end up making their lives scattered in the near future.
Because some of them are under hard pressure and literally don't know anything about life yet. So I feel they should be given more time to meditate well.
Because it's their future at the end of the day. And if they end up making the wrong decision at the end of the day because of pressures from either parents,peer groups,etc., it might end up making their life miserable.
If it were up to you, what would be the right age? And why?
If it were to be me to decide, well, I think I'd give more time for the individual to brainstorm well about what he or she wants for themselves, regardless of the time.
Because it's a chronic situation. And any step being taken at that point is advised to be taken with a full chest.
So yes, I'd give the individual some time to discover themselves and know what they really want for themselves, regardless, to avoid further problems in the future.
Because I feel that at that point, he or she should be able to identify what they want for themselves and how they want to spend the rest of their lives.
And then, does age really matter when it comes to maturity?
As they'd always say,age is just a number. Because I've seen lots of older people who are just mature by the sound of their age but aren't really mature-minded.
I believe maturity comes from the mind and mentality of a person and not from the number of years the person has spent on earth.
So for me, I'd say maturity comes from the mind set of a person, not the numbers.
Thank you for taking the time to go through my content, and I hope you've had lots of amazing moments in this community and have learned lots of lessons from it's weekly prompt.
