Some People Never Mature

It is difficult to know at what age adolescence begins and when it ends. Some people think it starts at the age of 13 and ends at 19. Others think it begins at the age of 10 and ends later than 19. For example, some university students in their twenties live with their parents, and are still rebellious or dependent. They may show behaviors that are very similar to those of a typical 16-year-old.
