And that's because the cut-off is not biological, it's social. If you give people adult responsibilities they act like adults. Except people want to wait till they are already adults to do that, leading to a Catch-22.
You can't act like an adult till you are one, but you won't become one till you act like one.
So the age keeps getting later and later. In my opinion by 15 or 16 people should already be expected to act like adults. And don't tell me about the 15 year olds you know who act like babies - that's simply because that's how they are treated.
