It's an adult. Most 25 year olds have jobs, are getting married or starting families, paying off school loans, even getting their first mortgages. In a few years, they're pushing 30 already.
A 15 year old is a kid. A 25 year old is not.
Kari Ann needs to get a grip. She can't use the "just a kid" excuse for much longer. It looks pathetic.

I agree, OP. My mother was married with 2 children by the time she was 25... I wonder if she was a "kid" too. Up until maybe 22 I can see still calling someone a kid (I'm 36), but 25? You should definitely have attained some measure of adulthood and maturity by then, sorry.
Let us take the risks of peace upon our lives, not impose the risks of war upon the world.

LOL Tracey, I totally understand. I have a cousin I spent a lot of time around when she was little; she just turned 23 and I have to keep reminding myself that she isn't 12 anymore. The first time I saw her drinking a beer I was like "what are you doing drinking that?" Even though she was 21 at the time.

I think they call her a kid not so much because of her age, but the fact that she acts like someone much younger.

ok, i think people did the same with seth last season didnt they? hehehe.....he is cute!
I think a "kid" is a state of mind, so you can be a kid for a very long time. I was taking care of myself since 17 yrs old, so was I not a kid then? I agree what a poster said about looking at someone as a kid when you get older.
My younger cousins and stuff... I always see them as kids, even though at their age I always thought myself to be "grown up" but the older you get the more you realize how young and naive you were before!

well compared to some people in their forties...lol that are drinking and drugging...but basically by the time your twenty five, that's just basically who you are...for life.
Red, I might've known it would be red.
I don't really watch the show, this is simply about the topic(which technically isn't that TV show relevant in itself).
"Most" 25 year-olds in the current developed world are probably NOT married with kids. I would put the count at just under, or barely half the population--split largely along the lines of poorer or less educated 25s mostly having several kids, and the opposite types mostly not having them (but maybe being married more, women more than men). This is a statistically proven pattern by the way, and not a biased personal observation. Nonetheless, I'm presuming that since 25 is in the middle of your first full decade as a legal adult, and thus "kinda close to 30!" (oh noes, 30!), you believe it's "supposed" to be how you say. That even though a 15/16 year-old "real kid" can be old enough to have babies, and be married, and a number of them do/are, these things define human maturity.
You sound like someone in a rush to see themselves as grown up, or who otherwise has an unusual fixation on age stemming from personal insecurity. You clearly don't know much about how age works aside from outmoded stereotypes, possible imposed on you by your family. Real experience with a wide variety of adult people plays no part in your view. The limited (and false) way you've been led to see the world has you holding all people to one standard. Your attitude is what is screwed up about society.
One's numerical age is just that, a numerical count. Aside from maybe guaranteeing that one is say...not in puberty nor in menopause, age doesn't come close to describing one's experience (or mental state). You can be at home living with your parents and still waiting for that next "leap", or you can be married OR divorced with 4-5 kids. Or you can be headed toward stability and in the process of planning things out. Many 25 year-olds these days are still in school and are taking more time to sort out their goals, since it is considered OKAY to do that now (since we won't all be dead by 45, plus technology has freed up more time). Although this is not a guarantee at any age, it is more common to expect a "settled" life by the time of 35 than 25. Then still some people don't plan to ever have a family or a home or to have a big career. Did you know that people have that kind of freedom?
Yes, many people are unstable or have "kid like (teen)" maturity at 25. There's never a real excuse to behave immaturely after puberty, but the fact is that people mature at different rates and are shaped by their personal experiences. Not to mention that in the grand scheme, when you compare a retired senior citizen with that exact lifetime's worth of accomplishment vs ANY 25 year-old, the latter looks quite like a kid.
It's about INDIVIDUALS and individual perspective. I can guarantee regardless of your age, you will keep being as kid-like as you sound like (no matter what you "have") unless you learn how to think like an individual.
