I knew I had grown up when I was 16 and my parents went through an extremely nasty divorce. I realized that they weren't the perfect people I thought they were, and I learned some things about them that I would've rather not known.
I also knew I was growing up when I started crying silently so no one can hear me instead of wailing like there's no tommorow.
And of course there's the whole going to college thing along with making doctor's appointments for myself when I'm sick and riding on airplanes all by myself (I was SO scared).
