In my opinion - in order to be a mature adult, you have to be free of previous experience and realize that you are entirely in control of your current state of being and even how you interpret your past.
So, to me -- it's not a certain age but a certain mental stage. Some never reach it, some reach it at age 10. When you're ready to accept responsibility for your past, present, and future actions and not excuse them by using someone else's behavior.
I'm not sure if it was directed at me, but that's my take on it.
