Marrokkon Dude not happy about us three cleaning up a parking lot after a party and his car not being able to pull out. He "commanded" me to get the dirt bags away that were in his path. When I did not comply, he pulled a gun. There simply can't be a more banal way to get a gun to your forehead, at the midst of day right in front of our scool (back then, I was 18 ).
The two others stepped back, I stayed and stared him down, telling him to put that playtool away and just leave. Which he did after a minute of pointing that gun at me. He then just drove over those bins in defiance.

I know people who were more grown up then me today when they were 20. I know peope with the age of 40 who are not grown up to this very day. What you look for is not grown up, but maturity. And that often is completely independent of age. You just have to check this forum for getting a feeling of how mature many folks here actually are. And matureness is not something entirely up to you. And just because we generally say 18 is the mark to be grown up, there is no magic button that is activated and makes you a grown man once you actually turn 18.
Say, Swiss, what is it with you and easy death, btw? Death here, klling populations there, death there, death in a second, death yeeehaw. Switzerland is an incredible boring and uptight place (incredible beautiful nevertheless), I give you that, been there often enough. But it can't be THAT boring.
