The cultural difference you mentioned is interesting. It shows how something so small can carry very different meanings depending on where you’re from. I like that you didn’t push an age as “right” or “wrong,” but focused instead on readiness and consent. That feels respectful and thoughtful.
I am not sure if there is a right age for anything really Mostly, age is an arbitrary number. With this in mind, how many 18 year olds are mature enough to vote, or go to war and kill people in a foreign country?
