why do people in their early 20s still act like teenagers
it really annoys me to think of such things i understand that teenagers seem to do whatever they can to follow their peers as in talk about stupid things listen to stupid music watch stupid tv shows stupid movies read stupid books and hang out in clubs and get drunk all the time and even obsess about facebook twitter and their iphones and people in their early 20s still act that way too which is pretty stupid and sad do people in their mid 20s act more mature then teenagers and early 20 people i hope so becuase im gonna be in my mid 20s next year

Every person is different. We all mature at different times.
Just because someone is in their 20's, it doesn't mean they need to be mature or anything. They're still really young. There's nothing you really can do about it.
I've met people in their mid 20's who are really mature, and I've met people in their mid 20's who are really immature. It depends on each individual person.

Everyone is different. Sure there are major similarities found everywhere. But not everyone around that age acts like that. I'm not even 20 yet. Even through high school I didn't watch TV, I didn't care about my phone, (it's an ancient artifact)I've never smoked, never gotten drunk etc. Though I have friends who do. I even went most of high school without a Facebook. I only made one because my band made me. I don't plan on doing any of that in my 20's. What I actually want to do is get a job, drop out of college, and save and invest in my real dreams that college can't provide.

WOW, that was one long sentence. You're talking about age which is really just a chronological number. What I think you mean is when do people act more mature and responsible; closer to what the maturity level of their age might be.
We all mature at different rates. Depending on our level of responsibility in life will depend on how fast we mature. Now this is not a hard and fast rule. Some of us will mature faster than others without the same responsibilities that might be needed for others to grow up and become adults.
I know it is a bit confusing on the surface. Take two men age 25. One is married, has a great job and has a new born child. Both have been to college. The other his best friend still lives at home with his parents, has a so, so job and no other responsibilities in life. Which one of the two is going to be more of the type of person you want or feel a 25 year old should act like.
It should in almost every instance be the married man with a new family. He has responsibilities beyond just himself. While the other is responsible for just himself. He can go out and party, get drunk and do all sorts of stupid things. Responsibility is the primary motivator behind when and how we mature.
There are many different motivators behind becoming more responsible. Mine was joining the military. Joining the military forced me to grow up in a hurry. Drill Instructors have a way of motivating you too.
Short answer to your question is that for the most part people mature at their own rate. In general terms that rate is generally in proportion to the responsibility they have.
