I guess adulthood means one is no longer a teenager or a child ,so over 25 is real adulthood and before that is young adulthood and before it is teenhood ,so I don't think 18 -19 are adults , they are still teens , okay they attend college and are responisble but there is a teen after 8 and a teen after 9 so adulthood should be after young adulthood ,after 25 , in my opinion .
Where I live, a young adult is supposed to be 18-34. 35+ is a mature adult. Girls physically become women at an average age of 15, and boys become men at an average age of 17, so obviously when we talk about the age of majority we're speaking about emotional maturity, and in my opinion, the concept of appending an arbitrary number makes no sense. People mature at different times. Some people are forced to grow up quickly while others seem to never fully mature and stay childish and irresponsible well into what we call adulthood. I'd say the age we choose should be the age at which the majority of citizens are emotionally and socially mature, which might be around 27-35 or so for most cultures.
Do you think they should raise the age of adulthood to 21 ?
