Sure, I think it should be voluntary to enter in to adulthood at 18 and allow your adolescence extended to 24. With that choice should come the caveats that you continue to remain with reduced choices and freedoms during that window.
For example you should not be good given the right to vote if you choose to remain a child after 18. You should have curtailed and or limited driving privileges and or curfews associated with that status of also choosing to remain in that status. You should not be granted the ability to drink or smoke legally (which I think should correspond with a reduction to 18 for those choosing adulthood). If you choose to remain in this adolescent State you should also not legally be able to enter into a contract.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list but a set of ideas. If you want to choose to remain a child well into your twenties I think that should be a choice that's allowed to be made. I think if your parents no longer want you to be their child at that age you should also become a ward of the state.
The fact that someone is even disgusting this instead of lowering the age of majority means that we've been relying on too small of a carrot to get people to move into adulthood and perhaps need a little bit of stick behind it.
