Adulting (v): to do grown up things and hold responsibilities such as, a 9-5 job, a mortgage/rent, a car payment, or anything else that makes one think of grown ups.
Used in a sentence: Jane is adulting quite well today as she is on time for work promptly at 8am and appears well groomed.

If you believe adultism is right, you might as well thumb me down before going on.
1) The belief that adults are superior to minors. It is so widespread and common that most people don't even know adultism exists.
Corrupted scientists use junk science (incorrect scientific facts) to try and justify adultism. Unfortunately, it works.
Most people think pictures of an adult's brain and a teenager's brain can be compared to argue that adult's are superior in every way possible. -_-
