I don't know how to grow up

I'm 18 but I feel like my family thinks I'm still a child. I just graduated high school but I'm taking a gap year because I'm not ready for college. I'm going to work, but I feel like a burden and a deadbeat. My sister tells me to grow up because I get angry and yell at her a lot, but isn't that normal for anyone? Idk, I feel like a child and don't know how to act my age. Any advice??

It's a bit of a vicious circle. Turning 50 does not magically confer maturity and neither does turning 18.

Acting childish is usually thought to mean selfish behavior, "gimme's" and tantrums when I don't get what I want. It can also mean risky behavior - not thinking it through. And flares of temper over minor things. In theory, adults talk things through. In theory. Not here, of course.
