Default Should 18-to-20-year-olds be considered adults?
One of those late night threads. The title applies to boys in particular since females are known to mature faster.

Well yeah strictly speaking 18 is an adult , 21 is the next official milestone of being an adult .

All depends on the individual maturity, some 18 & 20 year olds still act childish .

Yes, at 18 you can do everything an adult can do legally, except if you live in the US where you have to wait to be 21 for your Dark Fruits

whether you are mature at 18 is a whole different story

Just seen the question on the poll, what does 'majority rights' mean they have the same rights as any other adult so its a moot point

I'm guessing "majority rights" is drinking alcohol, sex , voting, marrying, smoking, joining army etc .

But some of those don't matter as sex age of consent is 16 (well here in the UK) , can't think of other majority rights.

Sex shouldn’t be accessible at ANY age. BAN IT!
