Step further after thinking about it. 18 is really remarkable isn't it? The law makes 18 the boundary because it's the will of the people, but it's more than that. Now, society reflects the law right back, and applies pressures on 17 year olds to get their shit together, and shames 19 year olds who don't have their shit together. Because hey, it's the law.
