Define teenager? Age of consent is 16 in Canada which I think is correct. We raised it from 14 which was a good thin to do and have a two year leeway which is eeehhh a little questionable given older boys can pressure girls but better than a blanket no.
If they try to make it 16 no one will care but any younger and the real men and women will finally reject this lgbtbbqp degeneracy peddled by those with no kids seeking to victimize kids.
One isn't a full fledged adult (biologically) until the final system maturation happens (its the nervous system). This happens around 18.
That's right, California's age of consent is scientifically accurate. Though I am more willing to forgive those who place it at 16-17 because they're probably ignorant of this fact rather than ill intentioned.
I think you are correct for females being fully mature at 18. Where I live the legal age for booze is 18. I turned 21 shortly after they lowered the drinking age! At one time of course, back in the 1800's, there was no drinking age at all. If you had the money you could buy booze. But if you wanted start a career as a drunk there were actual consequences like freezing to death or dying from starvation because the government had enough common sense in those days to let nature take its course as it should be. I think defining adulthood as 21 was a compromise situation. I will try and research it more to see why they came up with that decision.
It differs based upon culture and epigenetics. The more civilized a culture is, the more neotenous it's people are. Most western consumers actually never reach adulthood. How many of us could could actually survive alone in the wild for more than three days? 2%?
Alcohol age is high thanks to Madd prohibitionsts. I think it's fine at 18 as a minimum but it should be okay for parents to buy kids booze. It is in Canada and it worked well we never got into harder partying because our parents chaperoned our parties with only booze and no drugs.

It SHOULD be 18.

Biologically men can in some cases keep growing up to their late 20's. Men are not emotionally mature until their early 20's.

Is that why the legal alcohol age is 21?
I'm pretty sure full maturation age for females is still 18.
