What does it mean to be mature and immature? What does it mean to be grown up? Which are you and why?

  1. I think being mature is taking on responsibility when it is necessary, and also not making decisions in the heat of the moment. Immature is when you never take anything seriously, and you act younger than you are. Grown up means making "grown-up," mature decisions even when you dont want to. I feel like some people are all mature, and some people are all immature. But I feel like I am mature when I need to be, but also there times when its okay to act like a kid and be goofy. It all just depends on the situation.

  2. I think being mature is when you are old enough to where you could depend on yourself if you needed. I think being immature is when you have the need to depend on other people and incapable of making right choices without assistance. I think grown up means when you can make right decisions on you own. I feel like I am mature most of the time but still depend on other people a little.

  3. Being mature to me means making the right choices when the time comes and being immature is making the wrong choices. Being grown up means that you are able to make the right decisions the majority of the time. I believe I'm stuck in the middle because at my stage in life I make a 50% chance at doing right or wrong but as life progresses i believe I'm growing up to become mature.

  4. I think that being mature is acting appropriately and making wise decisions. Mature people also learn from their mistakes and take responsibility for their actions. Immature is just the opposite. Immature people act inappropriately even when they know better. They don't take responsibility for their actions.
    Being "grown up" means handling the situation like an adult would and making the right decision even when you don't like the decision.
    For the most part, I feel like I am pretty mature. I try to always take responsibility for my actions and make the right decision. I know I still have A LOT of growing up to do though.

  5. A person that is mature is able to decide the difference between good and bad. They also show responsibility, and act appropriately in situations such as: school or church.
    An immature person isn't able to decide good from bad. They just do the worst possible thing, to get some attention.
    A "grown up," also means to be mature. Most adults are able to make good decisions, and some aren't. It also means that you should be able to make decisions alone, and still have a good outcome.
    I feel that I am a very mature person. I usually make good decisions, but I slip up sometimes. I still have a lot of work to do before I'm officially "grown up," but overall, I'm mature.

  6. I think that being mature means that when making a decision you look at the big picture. You don't just make decisions that sound good for the situation you're in in the moment. You actually take time to think it through and see what will be best in the long run, even if it seems like a worse idea for the situation now. I think that "grown up" means that for the most part you make mature decisions. I think that I'm mostly mature, there are many times when I act sort of immature. But I usually try to think out decisions before I make them and try to pick the one that will benefit best further down the road.

  7. Maturity is something that everyone has to get to eventually. It doesn't always come at a certain age, and sometimes it comes early, sometimes late.

    To be mature is to know when to say something, how you say it, how you act and how you taken certain information. If you are mature, you don't freak out or act childishly, you take responsibility for things, instead of blaming others.

    Being immature usually means that you act childishly, you don't understand somethings or the consequences of your actions. immaturity is something that I see often in the world to day, people getting angry over silly little things, people getting killed over those same things.

    I consider myself mature, because I know when the right time is to do things, I know how to take responsibility, and I understand a lot of things that many older than me do not. That doesn't mean I am not a little bit immature sometimes, but over all, I am mature; especially at school.
