Here we have an interesting dialogue between one of our students and his sister:
«Acentfrio: hi sis)
Acentfrio: listen if you have time you can write me what for you means to be "psychologically adult"
Acentfrio: it is all related to that topic about "the right time for intimacy and sexual relations," that our teacher develops)
Acentfrio: I'll look at what you think about it and compare it to what I have ^ _ ^
Mary V: it mean to answer for your actions, never shift responsibility and the consequences on the others, be able to measure yourself with others - people close to you, to be able to find a way in all kind of different situations
«Acentfrio: psychologically adult can be associated with - ability to life for yourself, self-sufficiency?
Mary V: in general, independence and responsibility is when you are not under the influence of another people, and itself decided
Mary V: Well, old enough perhaps can even be minor (younger that 18), people who still dependent from parents Financial independence is not a criterion for here, while self-sufficient - yes
Mary V: not only "to live by itself, but also live near other people"
Mary V: Teen wants to break away at all costs, to show their independence, to defend his "world", while an adult measure their actions with the people with whom his life is connected.»
This is something I really like to be increased: each one of us involving our friends discussing this subjects. Congratulations for the both of you!

I am really impressed by the engagement that your students show in the project Jorge and by the quality of their comments. You are proud of them, and I am proud of having such a partnership! Keep it up!
It is our pleasure to work with you. You are a very important part of this quality... always saying the word needed, always having the right decision. I am very grateful because I have you with us.
we agree with alex's sister because it's true that now teenagers want to be free sooner, but they don't have psychological personality to face up the reality because if you go out at night you will see teenagers with 14-18 under the effects of alcohol and drugs, so if they can't keep they'r mental insanity they won't be able to live alone.

I agree with the opinion of Alex’s sister.
Today, increasingly early age young people want to be independent and follow their lives, without limits and rules. Be psychologically adult, "maturity", is to be able to without a super-viewing, make the right choices. I note that right acts to do are not the ones that give us more pleasure, but acts that, with a philosophical attitude, make us grow as human beings and society.
Many young people, says Patricia, have much freedom, and instead of take advantage to finally pursue an independent life and not quite controlled, waste and slip up amongst wrong paths (drugs, alcohol, ...) that once dependent, influence their actions, their thinking and their lives.
In my opinion there is no age or time to be an adult. Our actions, our ideas and our way of looking at life define us as more or less mature.

Maturity is a matter that causes me a bit fearful. I agree with the comments above, independence is not associated with maturity. I think we grew up in school, but a big part of us grows at home. Everything depends on our education, we have heard and what we believe. Many young people come out, to include enough adults think they are "masters of the night, take drugs and drink. but are supported by parents. So not so independent. My father always told me "while you live under my roof, you'll have to accept my rules. " It is these rules that we set limits. And those limits are what give us wings to life experiences. With this, we always have a "moral history. " With the weather makes us older and life, helps us grow, and only knock his head is that we learn and become resistant (mature). But will all come to maturity at 100%? I don't think so. "We all have our moments children. "
