Why r 18 and 19 considersed as adults?

Question

Even though they r pronounced - 18 = a TEEN, 19 = 9 TEEN.

Answer 1

because their parents are already in a problem handling young teens. how much of a problem, just think, will they have, iff the teens grow into older teens, with more problems? therefore, instead, they just say, "gosh, you're an adult now. handle it urself !"

Answer 2

During the Vietnam War, 18/19/20 year old kids were being drafted into the war. The law at the time said that you are a legal adult when you could vote (being 21 at the time). So many people got pissed that 18/19/20 year old kids were dying in the war and they weren't "legal" adults that they changed the Constitution for voting at 18. The motto at the time was "How can they die as Americans when they can't vote like Americans." This was suppose to bring home the soldiers that were under 21, instead they changed the law. "The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age." Amendment XXVI of the Contitution of the U.S.
