Do you consider 18 year olds to be fully adult? -

No way. You do at the time then a few years later you think "wow I was retarded".
IDK when you fully are, guess it's different for everyone.


They are adults in the sense that they face the same consequences an adult does for doing bad shit, they also have more rights but they are not as mature and experienced as an adult should be yet.

Absolutely not. I remember being that age and I thought I was an adult with everything figured out, but even by the time I was 25 I realized how dumb and inexperienced I was.

Looking back from even later into my life it’s almost comical how inept and unmature I was at 18. The only good choices I made were schooling related.

When I see an 18 year old this is all I can think about. I don’t consider them adults in any meaningful sense.

I didn’t feel like an adult at 18, and people certainly don’t have a lot of life experience at that stage, but expecting people to be able to take basic care of themselves and be responsible for their own actions has to start sometime. I think we’re having the opposite problem in modern times, where we’re starting to let the caretaking and leniency of childhood go on for far too long.

Legally, yes. Socially, you're not a grown-up till you hit 20. You're a 19-year-old boy or girl until you're a 20-year-old man or woman.

Just think about it. "19-year-old man" and "20-year-old boy" sound totally wrong!

Men aren’t fully adults till 25. When I was 18 I felt more capable and responsible, but I could also tell I wasn’t fully there yet. I was forced to sink or swim at 18 but it worked out for me. I can’t speak for everyone but that’s a good time in life to get your ass kicked and to be forced to grow up. Too many young people think they know everything and IMO there’s nothing better than getting absolutely crushed at the peak of your arrogance.
