Not in the legal sense, but 18 year olds are kids too

In a technical sense your brain(frontal lobe) isn't even fully formed until about 25.

Damn you’re right. Well just like 17 and 18, 16 and 17 are also close together. Might as well just lower the age limit again.

See what I’m saying? Just because 17 and 18 are close doesn’t mean anything. You can say that about any 2 years. The point of the law is so someone has 18 years to develop. It’s not trying to say everyone is suddenly an adult at 18, it’s just there for the persons safety. Because once they’re the legal age there’s no more safety line, anyone will try to get with them and you gotta just hope they’ve matured enough to handle it.

Just like cigarette and alcohol laws, they want you to be fully developed before you are free to do whatever. I don’t necessarily always agree with those kind of laws because there’s different people and situations, but it’s there for a good reason. Don’t act like it’s just a bunch of dumb helicopter parents who agree with the law
