In Korea, there isn't a certain chance to be an adult. I think as we go to university, we became adults because the life of highschool and university is very different. We became much more independent. Someone earns money and live far from family.
The real start of an adult is after graduation and getting a job. Entrance to university makes us big change to adults, but as we get a real job, we are really independent. People can marry lover.
When I became highschool student, some of strangers started to use hororific. I felt so sad because it means I look like an adult, and my face is old. The my age get bigger, the more people started to use horonific. Do you think that I look old? However, there is a light. When I was second grade of highschool, a good taxi driver asked me, "Are you middle school student?" I was happy, and I believe only his words until now. Likewise being called with honorific means becoming adult.
I think there are three ways. Which one do you sympathize?
I sympathize your first opinion "The real start of an adult is after graduation and gettiong a job." There are some people have a childish thought. It is the reason I agrred your opinion.
