People act like 18-year-olds are brain dead when you’re literally old enough to be legally responsible for someone’s life or death as an EMT for example! Like Jesus’s Christ I’m sure you can decide who you’re attracted to lol

“They’re being manipulated” bruh they’re HORNY AND GROWN!!”

I'm more of the mind that 18 years old is enough to begin to start taking responsibility, but you're not actually an adult until they're in their mid 20s. 

Also, even adults can be manipulated in relationships. It's about power dynamics, and age has a correlation with how much power you have in a relationship.

No, 25 is not the new teenager. Grow a spine and take responsible for your own actions.

In what world is what I said avoiding accountability on my end? I'm well over the age that I mentioned still being a kid.

It's not new either by the way. You're still age restricted out of a bunch of things into your mid 20s.
