None of it's black and white. What does being a kid or an adult even mean?

The question came from your reply about the student athlete not being a "Full on adult"

I don't know, really. I'm just acknowledging that a college kid can be a "kid"

Interesting, lets say that a person supports themselves financially and then loses a job.
