    I get that 18±somethings are full adults

    I don't think 18 yo are "full adults". We're talking about people who still have to ask permission to go to the toilet... well, at least before the pandemic

      Just because our school system doesn't treat them like adults doesn't mean they aren't adults.

        They really aren't. They are ready to start learning how to become independent and definitely have the right to make decisions for themselves... but they're still learning. I feel like the idea that an 18 yo is "an adult" has more to do with the fact that they can work full time than the maturity they have, lol

          We should give 14 year olds the vote.

          They are clearly not fully independent, but none of us truly are. And trust me, most high schoolers are independent enough in a lot of ways to be treated like adults.

      Tfw you're 30 but work at amazon so you gotta do the same... I dont think the amount someone is oppressed is very related to their maturity.
