any person who wants to survive independently in
this world. As a child grows, he/she learns to
become more responsible for the things around
him/her.

early and shoulder responsibilities at a very young
age; while others do not realize it till the time they
are forced into such a situation

your control, You start making decisions rather
than blaming others, you find yourself solving
problems rather than disengaging and merely
coping
