while it is common for someone who is at least 18 to have developed a strong sense of maturity and therefore a decent capability of making wise decisions, the second they turn 18, nothing changes drastically. maybe they are more intelligent and mature than they were when they were younger, but ultimately, they are still the same person. law asserts the legality of an individual once they turn 18 because it ensures a boundary that protects perhaps immature people from exploitation and abuse which can be people under 18.

it’s weird how ppl can be like “she needs to be at least 18 bc she needs to be legal”. who’s to say she’s gonna be mature enough at that age? who’s to say that she’s not? like just say you don’t wanna get in trouble.
