That's right: According to these researchers, if you're under 24 years old, you're basically still a teenager, not a full-blown adult — not yet, at least. And if you're in your late 20s, you've basically only been an adult for a few years, and you really can't be held fully accountable for your actions.

We had to endure a barrage of terrible news seemingly from every angle, at every hour of the day. 2017 was rough, to be certain, but 2018 is already making up for it with studies like this one. If you're like me, in your early 20s, and absolutely certain someone made a massive mistake in allowing you to live on your own, or if you've ever wondered aloud to your friends about why you still feel like a kid, you're about to get the best news of your life. BBC reports there's currently a movement of social scientists who are pushing to extend our framework for adolescence as a society so that you're technically still considered an adolescent until you're 24 years old, whereas our past understanding was that the milestone for adulthood fell somewhere between the ages of 18 and 21 — aka, far too soon for many of us actually living those years right now. That's right: According to these researchers, if you're under 24 years old, you're basically still a teenager, not a full-blown adult — not yet, at least. And if you're in your late 20s, you've basically only been an adult for a few years, and you really can't be held fully accountable for your actions. OK fine, that's not totally true, but still. The movement to expand our definition of adolescence could radically change several social laws and standards of practice. The reason behind this movement to extend adolescence primarily has to do with the ways in which our culture is participating differently in social norms than generations before us. Case in point: In England (where this movement derives from), the average age for marriage is 32 for a man, and 30 for a woman, both of which are approximately eight years older, on average, than the standard ages at which people got married back in the 1970s. This delay in marriage radically changes the way that we, as a generation, approach adulthood. Although many adult legal privileges start at age 18 years, the adoption of adult roles and responsibilities generally occurs later.

Semi-dependency, a common characteristic of adolescence, refers to a point in time when you're not fully functioning independently from your family.
