When can a person be considered an adult: the answer of scientists will surprise you

In Ukraine, a person is recognized as an adult when they reach the age of 18. It is believed that at this age, a person can be independently responsible for their actions and decisions. However, scientists have concluded that true adulthood comes later.

After extensive research, scientists have determined that this transition occurs around the age of 30. This is when childhood finally transforms into adulthood. Although scientists recognize that this process is individual, and maturation occurs uniquely for each person. However, in most cases, the brain continues to develop after the age of 18.

Professor Peter Jones provides an example from the judicial system, where the distinctions between a 19-year-old criminal and someone well over 30 are evident. So, if you are 20-25 years old and still feel like a child at heart, there is now a scientific explanation for this.

As a reminder, astronomers have discovered the oldest galaxies to date.
