I tend to like taking an approach I find a bit more believable: All the races progress through physical stages of life at basically the same rate so that by age 20, regardless of race, you are physically adult and mentally pretty close too - but the longer lived races are also proportionately more inclined to allow for the "young adults" to stay around home and not really get out there and "live properly."Like how a couple decades ago living with your parents at age 30 meant that something had gone seriously wrong with the "plan", but more and more these days you see adults living with their parents and it is considered normal (or at least more so than it used to be) for various reasons - humans and shorter lived races equate to those parents that rushed their kids out of the house at age 18 (or earlier) so they could get jobs and pay their own bills, and elves and other long-lived races equate to those parents who don't care when their kids finally leave home "there's no rush, dear, you can do that whenever you are ready." and, just like real young adults being told they don't have to go be an adult for real, the young adult elves milk that chance to not be responsible for a century, give or take.</blockquote>
