The weirdest thing is that we deem people as legal adults at 18. If you look at neurological science, crime rates, and even car insurance rates then it's fairly easy to see that the brain has not fully matured by age 18 in most people. Sure, a person's capacity for logic/reason has matured but usually that happens around 15 anyway. Inhibition of risky behavior and thus the ability to make sound decisions definitely has not. A more sane legal adult age would probably be around 25 but then how would we justify enlisting legal 'children' in the military?
