The difference between an adult and a child.

The difference between an adult and a child has always been unclear due to the various dimensions used to describe the boundary. You can measure it biologically, looking at the age of discreet physical changes in the body; you can view it by achievements or by various mental processes. I prefer the psychological view. If we are measured by our actions, then our actions are determined by our minds. I think the answer is simple. Taking responsibility for solving our own problems is a quality of an adult rarely seen in a child. Children will always seek the support of parents or friends to solve their issues. This traits often follows us into adulthood where we spend our time complaining while doing very little to solve the issue. We (in the UK) are a society of children. I too find myself complaining but stop, and remind myself that I am an adult and am responsible for solving my own problems. Interestingly enough as you start addressing problems face-to-face you feel less inclined to complain about them.
