Y’know, I’ve always taken issues with the idea of 18 being considered the age of ‘legal’ adulthood.
Admittedly, at least some of this is due to personal reasons--when I was a teenager getting closer to eighteen, I absolutely hated/was scared of becoming an adult something that admittedly hasn’t faded now, even though I’m almost 30 now.
But that aside, 18/19-year-olds being considered adults has just never made sense to me...they’re still in their teens, after all. And as time has passed and I see more and more how older adults in their 20s/30s, or even OLDER, pounce on young people the second they become legal...yeah.
Call me a prude, but seeing creeps predatoring on people half their age, or counting down the days until they turn eighteen, and justifying it because ‘they’re legal now!’ just rubs me the wrong way.
