Through his journey Sam struggles to deal with his sorrow and guilt and something else he didn't expect - those seeking revenge. As he's pursued by a new generation of bad boys, Sam sets about trying to get the message across to his pursuers that they should stop the violence, much like Trife tried to tell him all those years ago.
Can Sam stop the cycle of violence and make something positive from the destruction he caused or will his journey into Adulthood end here?

Similar to Kidulthood in that it is effective in its breadth but doesn't have the substance or complexity that one might hope for. I wasn't all that taken by Kidulthood when I watched it a few years back but it was solid enough and professionally made so I thought I'd follow it with the sequel.
Set six years after the original film, we join the majority of the original cast on the day that Sam comes out of prison after doing his time for the killing of Trife. Some of those involved have moved on, some are still in the same situation they were then while others have nothing but that night on their minds and are seeking revenge on Sam for what he did — either by their own hands or by any one of countless up and coming boys looking to have a name made for them.
In picking this plot in particular the film sets out its stall very much to be about these events rather than the characters — again this is the same as the first film, which didn't do a great job in creating people so much as it did in creating a reasonably good narrative flow. For many this will be enough and the film does have enough of a "world" to it that it is easy to watch it.
The problem comes when you want to be convinced by it, because the story isn't really strong enough or logical enough to really engage. It is not that it doesn't have stuff going in in sufficient quantities it does it is just that they offer nothing beyond this.
Don't get me wrong, I found it easy to watch and get into but it felt like little had been done on the actual characters themselves. And yet these are still the venerated markers of adulthood today, and when people take too long to acquire them, or eschew them all together, it becomes a reason to lament that no one is a grown-up.
Age alone does not an adult make. But what does? In the United States, people are getting married and having kids later in life , but those are just optional trappings of adulthood, not the thing itself.
Psychologists talk of a period of prolonged adolescence , or emerging adulthood , that lasts into the 20s, but when have you emerged? What makes you finally, really an adult? I set out to try to answer this to the best of my ability, but just to warn you up front: There is either no answer, or a variety of complex and multifaceted answers.
Bless my young little heart, I had no idea! Being a Millennial and trying to adult is wildly disorienting. I am unmarried, and not settled into a long term, financially stable career. Sometimes because I simply desire those things for myself, and sometimes because Instagram.
Adulthood is a social construct. For that matter, so is childhood. But like all social constructs, they have real consequences. They determine who is legally responsible for their actions and who is not, what roles people are allowed to assume in society, how people view each other, and how they view themselves. But even in the realms where it should be easiest to define the difference—law, physical development—adulthood defies simplicity. Or does it? And kids can hold a job as young as 14, depending on state restrictions , and can often deliver newspapers, babysit, or work for their parents even younger than that.
That depends, though, on what measure you choose. For centuries, skeletal development has been a measure of maturity. Today, both dental and wrist X-rays are used to determine the age of refugee children seeking asylum—but both are unreliable. For example, wisdom teeth typically emerge between 17 and 21, and Noel Cameron, a professor of human biology at Loughborough University, in the U. The carpals of the hand are fully developed at 13 or 14, and the other bones—radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges—complete development from 15 to The final bone in the body to mature—the collarbone—does so between 25 and And environmental and socioeconomic factors can affect the rate of bone development, Cameron says, so refugees seeking asylum from developing countries may also tend to be late bloomers.
Money really matters because past a certain age it is the main determiner of what you can and cannot do. What about cultural transitions? In theory. High-school and college graduations are ceremonies designed to flip the switch, or flip the tassel, for sometimes hundreds of people at once. But not only do people rarely graduate right into a fully formed adult life, graduations are far from universal experiences. And secondary and higher education have actually played a large role in expanding the transitory period between childhood and adulthood.
During the 19th century, a wave of education reform in the U. And by , every state had compulsory attendance laws. At about age 22 or 23, the brain is pretty much done developing, according to Steinberg, who studies adolescence and brain development. But adult plasticity is different from developmental plasticity, when the brain is still developing new circuits, and pruning away unnecessary ones.
Plenty of brain functions are mature before this point, though. So a year-old, on average, should do just as well on a logic test as someone older. Until those connections are fully established, people tend to be less able to control their impulses. This is part of the reason why the Supreme Court decided to put limits on life sentences for juveniles. Still, Steinberg says, the question of maturity is dependent on the task at hand. I see women go through divorce and try to find themselves afterwards.
I see them trying to hold onto youth during menopause and after. My spouse cheated on me—that was a wake up call. During my marital conflicts I started therapy wish I had done this in my 20s.
My patients who seem secure through any of life struggles, those are the women who seem like adults. They still have a young soul but roll with all the changes, accepting the undesirable changes in their bodies, accepting the lack of sleep with their children, accepting the things they cannot change.
In college, I had a writing professor who I think fancied himself a bit of a provocateur—at any rate he was always trying to drop truth bombs on us. Most of them bounced right off, but there was one that cratered me. Flailing is an apt description of what happens for many people at these ages.
This vagueness has led to some disagreement over whether emerging adulthood is really a distinct life stage. Sign In. Edit Adulthood Jump to: Summaries 2 Synopsis 1.
