I haven't had the problem you speak of (most of my life I've had *too* much responsibility and say...rather than too little. This brings about its own issues, though...so be careful what you ask for). However, I htink you got very good advice. Pick your battles and stand up for yourself on something important to you, where you can demonstrate that you have good judgement and follow through.
First and foremost, being an adult is about follow through....doing the things that you commit to doing, even if you have to make big sacrifices to get there. Even if you regret your commitment later, the ability to follow though is the biggest thing (IMHO) thta distingishes a responsible adult from a child.
