As an actual i would present that we have very few men here.
If you are still in highschool, you are not a man yet.
If you are going to university or college, you are not a man but you are not a boy either. You are a guy. That being said, there are exceptions for folks such as those who are putting themselves through school while raising a kid or working a full time job and supporting a family or families and going through university or collage part time.
It's not so much an age qualifying thing to me, it's more or less if you've accepted major responsibilities and hold them down on your own. I can say i have. It's also a degree of maturity that doesn't come until you get past that age of the latest Hip Hop tune or Geer.
There's an enlightenment age that it just dawns on you that you're no longer a boy, a kid, a teen, a guy, etc.
For me it came around early on at the age of 11. Resonsibility was handed to me before i was completely prepared for it due to the fact that its a family practice and has been for many years. I accepted it and it made me. Unfortunately i can't speak more of this.
So do you consider yourself there yet?
