What is coming of age? Coming of age is when a young person transitions from childhood to adulthood. I fully agree with this definition, it's like when a child gets left at home for his or hers first time. They feel like more of an adult, because they now have more responsibilities. But coming of age happens at different times for different people. I think that it all comes from within. You should be responsible and trustworthy at the least, because without those traits you have not really come to age.
The whole part of coming of age is what do you expect out of your self. What I expect out of myself in the real world is, to go to college and take is seriously. I want to get a real job when I turn 16. Like work at Goodwill or something.
