Rite of passage.
Krina:
I once heard that you're becoming a grown-up when you start going to bed earlier because you're tired.
It made me feel a bit like a grown-up when I had to take care of a baby full-time and I shared responsibility for that tiny person. I'm a girl not a boy though.

I agree with this gentleman here.
Being a man, I would suggest, is a combination of having ability and the sense of balance to decide when that ability is used, as well as to what extent. To use physical violence, a stereotypically masculine trait, as an example a man knows that he doesn't need to solve all his problems with it, that the problems that do require don't always mean using it disproportionally or exclusively, but being prepared to use it to destroy/kill if necessary. Simply, a man knows how to do something, when to do something, and why to do something.
Leastways that's my view.

Part of these replies would be more between child/teen and adult as opposed to boy/man.
