The word adult is an adjective. Meaning of the word is
1. Fully grown and developed
2. Mature and sensible
3. Of or intended for adults
When you look at the word we get what it means but many people don’t know how to be an adult when they are an adult. They might be fully grown but I see a lot of immature and not so sensibliness. Of course there are lots of things intended for adults but kids still use or do them a ways right?
When you look at the word and definition of adult what do you think?

well said. I've met children with more sense than adults these days. though at the same time, I think it's important to keep some childlike qualities even in your adult age. Life is short and it helps to enjoy it as a child would, when it's appropriate, that is.

The word 'adult' may be both a noun and an adjective (and in your descriptive paragraph you have used it as a noun in all three instances!
Examples of its use as an adjective are: "An adult male", "Adult behaviour" and "Adult content" (for each of the three meanings given).

Someone may become an adult but there are many that do not know how to act like an adult and act like children like Peter Pan who never grows up.

@Hannihar fairytale have many messages behind them. Disney went a changed them so a lot of people see Peter Pan as just not growing up. Got to go deeper and further back into history and time. Little the little boy that called wolf. We tell the kids old fables because there is many truths to learn from it more To it!
