    I dont but maybe because when you come to the age of 18 you have already experience a lot of stuff so you are now more capable of making decisions like an adult also probably because most puberty ends here and that will mean not much of childish behaviour anymore because hormones stops being abnormal idk

    That's a good idea but the brain doesn't stop maturing until 25. The 18 age of adulthood had been around quite awhile, way before we understood anything about the brain.

    The brain actually doesn't stop developing/growing until 25 years old. The last part to develop is the decision making part & that's why for certain things companies won't let you do or will have higher rates on insurance until you hit 25. At least that's what I read a few years back.

    That's correct! However, this law was made before the brain was even considered a realistic topic for study.

    Sorry, I tend to beat around the bush. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
    In the middle ages, the mortality rates on children was extremely high. Which is why in most cultures, children had to mature quickly, in some cases the age of adulthood was as young as 10... However, in Europe, still in the middle ages, the age of adulthood became 18. That's because war between neighbooring countries was extremely common. Their armor was extremely heavy and could only be worn by men 18 and up without damaging their bodies.
