I think 40 is the new '30' these days judging by the amount of childish cretins between 30-35 in full-time employment.
Are you still a child at 25?

I would say yes. I see uni as an extension of school really judging by the immaturity of most young people.

When i was a kid i had to walk to school with no shoes because my dad couldn't afford to buy shoes and we used to tape old magazines to our feet in the winter.

I am 25 and my girlfriend calls me a man child, does that count?

No but at 29 I sill act like one at times.

LUXURY!
I had to walk 90 miles to school, uphill both ways, in a permanent hail storm. If we were late, the headmaster used to beat us to death with a stout cudgel.

stout cudgel? you never had it so good.

I'm 26 - I'm an overgrown manchild and proud. What's the point of being grown up if you can't be childish?

i just turned 25 i have the adrian mole syndrome 
I find it highly childish to go out every weekend, get splattered on a pavement somewhere and call it "of age", its just utterly boring and repetitive.
Beyond this, with rising life expectancy statistically hitting 100+ for people born in the last 20 years... it is probably just sensible to also raise the period of childhood...frankly I have always believed you dont really enter adulthood until your late 20s anyway, I don't think 18 years is particularly enough to experience life in a reasonable manner without being gifted a good start in the first place.
As a logical person that enjoys a bit of numbering, if you can live to 100, i would think you were a child for at least 25% of that, 50% being an adult and retiring into the last 25% (i've seen some slick 75 year old's)...
Seems good to me.

I'm still a kid at 29 (for the last 9 years), but my toys seems to cost more.

In my opinion, the moment you turn 18 you're no longer a child nor should you be classed as dependent.
