You know the joke about the fact that the first 40 years of his childhood man - the most severe. Now it is the truth. Recent studies say that really becomes an adult man about the age of 30.
According to Ukrainian law, a person is considered an adult after the age of 18. Since that time, it can take all adult decisions and take responsibility for them with the utmost rigor of the law. But scientists say that in 18 years people - still a child, according to "The BBC Ukraine". Why?
It turns out that the time of growing up - individual for each person. But the majority of people in the 18 years still there are changes and development of the brain. Scientists at Cambridge University say that the transition of man from childhood to adulthood occurs in about three decades. Changes that continue to occur in the brain of adult influence their behavior and make them more prone to developing mental disorders.
Professor Peter Jones said that this is clearly seen in the judicial system. Judges see the differences between the 19-year-old perpetrator and those who are far beyond 30. So if you're still 20 - 25 years old and you feel like a kid, and now it has a scientific explanation.
