Legally no, mentally and physically yes. Emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don't reach full maturity until the age 25. Neither the body nor the brain is developed at 18 which is an even bigger reason as to why 18 is not a full adult and no one really is until their mid twenties.

uhmm depends on the person and mature level yk? so maybe maybe not.

In my opinion, women age 16 to 40 usually have the same mental capacity/learning ability, so no.

I shouldn’t be, but we have infantilized our young people into extended adolescences.

It wasn’t before because people would fight for their country at the age of 18 in war

Not really but to some older people it is

Is 18 still a kid?
