At what age is someone no longer a 'kid' in your mind?

Probably 21 or older. But it also depends on where you live.

Depends on the person. Some people I might still consider a kid well into their 30s.

This.

Depends on how you grew up.

Depending on their overall maturity.

No particular age. Some mature before, some can be pretty late, some are just dumb.

I think around 13 or 14 then you are a teen, and than at 21 your a pre-adult.

I think a lot of people won't see you as a fully mature adult until you reach 30.

Depends on the individual person and the definition of kid you are using. In this context i'm go with 14 years of age thats the earliest time that i think is common for a Girl to be able to have children and that's also about the time that boys start to become aware of the opposite sex and see them for more than just friends but a love interest. Also 14 is the common age of high school freshman.

@abyssdarkfire: The definition is whatever definition you personally would attribute to the word.

@spambot: yeah i think 14 is age that you're not a kid enough because that age you are capable of understanding how the world is making many minor decision as well as at least one major decision that will affect the rest of your life such as what high school to go to.

18. After that, they're responsible for their own stuff.

When they can take care of themselves

30

Until you die. Adults are just kids with bigger bodies pretending to be mature.

Those things

Dependent on the person in question.

"Kid" is not an age it's a state of mind. Once you're about 18 to 21 though, the law and society no longer cares. You better be ready for adulthood.

It's more of a "how you act" thing than age, for me. But probably 18, just because you kinda have to stop being a kid at that age, in the sense that you should receive more responsibility and freedom.

Define "kid"

@noone301994: Its really for you to decide what it means and how you apply it.

30 YEARS OLD

Fourteen or older and you aren't a kid. I expect you to be able to take care of yourself in most ways. That doesn't mean I view you as an adult, but I believe you are capable of handling serious responsibility by that age. Heck, most cultures throughout history consider fourteen adulthood.

When they stop going to Chuck E. Cheese's.

YUP.

@spambot: I think a person stops being a "kid" once they hit 13. At that point they become teenagers. Hence the TEEN in thirteen. I think a person becomes an adult at the age of 19-21 though.

I'll let ya know when I stop being a kid.

@noone301994: That's fine but I don't think the word teen in teenagers really has any relevance to the question. It has relevance to being over the age of 12.

@spambot: Well in my opinion a teenager isn't really a kid. I see kids as being 7-12 year olds. That's just my two cents.

Dunno. I use kid as an insult.

When you are in my phone book I no longer consider you a kid.

Physically - anywhere from teenaged to early 20's

Legally - 18

emotionally - varies

intellectually - varies (and to a certain extent, its impossible to fully mature in this area)

@rev_sulphur: what % of the world's residents are in your phone book?

@lukehero: That is true but at the same time I think a lot of people still see those who are in that age range as still being kids based both on their own life experience and having had their own children.

I'd say in their 20's. I still consider teens as "kids" since they haven't had as much life experience as say someone who's 25 has. That doesn't always apply, but for the most part. Also if I recall, don't they still address teens as "kids" in films and such? I know it's not the first time I saw someone call someone who was 17-18 a "kid"

Nailed it.

Less than 0.01%

@spambot: True, but as a whole I don't think society cares. As more and more children are being charged as adults.

@lukehero: Charging anyone over 18 as adults isn't necessarily the same as perception though. People over the age of 40 or 60 are generally always going to see people under 25 as being kids or young adults because people still make so many stupid decisions at that age and still have so much left to learn about life. Teenagers love to think they are grown up after they get out of high school then get into college and make stupid mistake after stupid mistake because they still don't know any better.

@spambot: You've got grown kids don't you?
