Wanting the age for being an adult to be lowered from age 18 in all countries

I can imagine that if the age of adulthood lowered to be 13 years old, many people would take advantage of that, and likely would try to pressure them into marriage at that young age, and other things that would be deemed quite immoral.

I mean, if humans live on average till they're 70 years old, about 20 years of that is spent as a child and teenager, then you have about 50 years to be an adult, and do whatever you want to do, but in reality it's more like just doing whatever you have to do to survive. 

Sure, you are young and want to make your own decisions, and not treated like a child anymore, so do mature and independent things, get a job, do the chores, cook for yourself, have a good credit score, get your driver's licence, get your own car, and then by the time you're 18 years old, move out and find your own place to live. You don't have to keep demanding that others treat you as an adult, but you know what, you'll be living as an adult for approximately 50 years of the rest of your life, so I'd hate to tell you to enjoy your childhood while it lasts, because that's the last thing you want to hear.

I think that you would like your full freedom to do whatever you want to do, but even as an adult, you're not completely free, and you still need to sacrifice your time to earn a living. You have the choice of earning money or being homeless, so that's not much of a freedom if you were aiming for that.  

i still live with my parents myself at 31 and dont feel any different in my freedoms than i had as a high school kid so not entirely sure what magic powers these kids expect to have aside from legal pedophiles camping outside school gates to take advantage of being able to legally groom kids that would be seen as consenting adults lol

im just lucky i havent been tossed out the house yet, if i was like these kids demanding to be adults you bet id have been tossed out at the age of 16 and been made to learn a very hard lesson. humility and respect and not demanding things when i have nothing probably allowed me to be tolerated this long in my parents place.

Well, the pedophile thing was something I was alluding to but I was trying to be more subtle about it, but yes that's the biggest problem with allowing 13 years old and teenagers with the status of adulthood, just a bunch of predators ready for that kind of change.

I always imagined that I'd be living with my parents till I was 30 years old, and I never would want to be an adult before my time, so that's all understandable. I mean, with the pandemic and everything, a lot of people lost their jobs, and so times are tough. At least you have a place to live and food to eat and parents that are still alive and well. 

aye, i wish i had my own place though and a way to keep my own place. id have more freedom to do whatever then and feel less constrained by judgement. and id get a cat! lol probably exercise more without feeling held back by people thinking im weird.
