Coming of Age Writing Prompts

Writing Prompt #7) What are the main similarities and differences between adulthood and childhood ?
(I wrote a list of what childhood and adulthood meant to me and others at my table)

Childhood                                                                                                             
- when your young                                                                                              
- Your in childhood when your in between the ages of 0-18
- You could be an adult but never grow out of childhood Ex: If your 40 and you still act like a child then you could be considered a child

Adulthood
- When you are a grown up
- At the ages of 18 to the end of your life
- You could be young but have already grown up because you were forced to Ex: In the Hunger Games, Katniss was considered an adult because she did all the work and kept them from starving

           I think that there are fine lines between adulthood and childhood. Some children grow up while they are young for various reasons. Some reasons like there is no parent figure or have one that isn't around of emotionally present. While some adults never grow out of childhood for various reasons as well.
