Children used to get more practice with making meaningful decisions and what not than they typically do today. A lot of 18 year olds aren't really prepared to behave like adults.
I'm not excusing it. I'm just making an observation.
And I'm not blaming parents for that. The world has changed and it's harder than it used to be to simultaneously protect kids and give them room to grow.
