    Is 19 considered a grown woman
    Is being 19 years old considered a grown woman? Or does early adulthood consider that a grown woman? In research, it said that ages 13-19 is the adolescence years and ages 20-40 is the early adulthood.

    At 19 you're considered to be legally an adult, in most places. You can vote, you can drive, in some countries you can drink, in others you can't.

    Are you asking what constitutes a legal adult or are you asking if at the age of 19 you're mature enough to be an adult?

    Going by what you wrote, you're still an adolescent.

    Are you referring to Erikson's stages of psycosocial development?

    [edit] Fidelity: Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescents, 13 to 19 years)
    Psychosocial Crisis: Identity vs. Role Confusion
    Main Question: "Who am I and where am I going?"
    Ego quality: Fidelity
    Related Elements in Society: ideology
    The adolescent is newly concerned with how they appear to others. Superego identity is the accrued confidence that the outer sameness and continuity prepared in the future are matched by the sameness and continuity of one's meaning for oneself, as evidenced in the promise of a career. The ability to settle on a school or occupational identity is pleasant. In later stages of Adolescence, the child develops a sense of sexual identity.

    As they make the transition from childhood to adulthood, adolescents ponder the roles they will play in the adult world. Initially, they are apt to experience some role confusion- mixed ideas and feelings about the specific ways in which they will fit into society- and may experiment with a variety of behaviors and activities (e.g. tinkering with cars, baby-sitting for neighbors, affiliating with certain political or religious groups). Eventually, Erikson proposed, most adolescents achieve a sense of identity regarding who they are and where their lives are headed.

    At 19, women are considered adults, yes. And the average Playboy centerfold is about that age.

    BUT, mentally, no.

    A 19 year old may THINK that she is "grown", but double that age and you are getting closer to the right answer. When you get 38, you will look back at this question and say no too.

    19 is considered a LEGAL adult, but that doesn't mean that you are an "adult." Let's face it, if you're 19 (like me,) you're still a teenager. There are a lot of mature, level-headed young adults and teenagers out there, and a lot of teens are also immature. Being an adult doesn't mean that you are ABLE to be on your own, make your own living, get married, or even be in a serious relationship. That is where maturity, and responsibility comes into play. However, I also have to say, that I know some 38 year olds who are less mature than some 19 year olds I know. It all doesn't always come down to age.

    Just a guess, you're wondering whether you're old enough to be treated as a woman. Its pretty simple, look at a person that you definitely address as a woman, and compare yourself to it. It's the level of maturity that matters, not the age (mostly). When you're a mature woman, you wouldn't, at all question about it :D
