Teenagers, regardless of when, are granted legal adult/age of consent status.
If you're unable to make good, life-altering choices at 17, then why are you able to do something like..... enlist in the military less than a later at 18? Vote? Get married? Are you telling me a 17 year-old, the day before their 18th birthday, is still "too immature"... yet if they wait 24 hours then *poof* they're magically good now? If you can justify that then I'd love to rent the unicorn you have stowed away in your Pot of Gold for my next Uber ride.
But hey, let's not forget you aren't considered a "real" adult until you're 21, since that's the legal drinking age.
Age laws here in America are simply a joke.
