Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I guess its not practical to define a 14 year old as an adult when most people dont feel like an adult until they are like 30 or something.
People tend to use school and university vs jobs and mortgages for example as a barrier to adulthood.
I think it makes more sense to go with what people believe in general rather than to bog ourselves down with technicalities.
There are clear obvious scientific facts at work here. They are not technicalities.
How I feel does not make reality real. If I feel like a dog, I am still human.
Nature makes us adults. The process is called puberty. There are several visible objective secondary sexual characteristics which make pretty damned clear who is where in the process.
Nice Freudian slip you’ve got there. How you feel, indeed, does not make your reality real. You keep claiming it’s a scientific fact while rambling about something no professional in the field would ever agree on.
At one point you’ve learned about one aspect of measuring (purely physical) development - the tanner scale - and decided to forever discard everything else. Keep rest assured this is not how the world or science actually works.
The Tanner Scale measures puberty.
Puberty is the line between childhood and adulthood.
It’s really that simple.
If you think there is some other better line, then present your case. Casting dopey aspersions on me just makes you look like a fool.

The Tanner scale measures sexual development. Nothing else. It has nothing to do with general maturity, it just measures if the external sexual characteristics have come in.
What is “general maturity”? What is the scientific tool used to measure it?
or you just made up some bullshit to justify your bigotry against young adults aged 14-20?
