Thinking about my own life, I grew up pretty fast and at 18 was more mature than most of my peers. I don't think I was an "adult" until 20-21 though.
I really think age is relative. I have a younger brother who's a bit of a "player" so I've met tons of 16-19 year old girls, most of them pretty attractive. Some of them were mature enough that you wouldn't question them if you met them in a bar and some of them should still be in grade school.
I don't know what my point is really. Quick, someone post a jailbait picture.
EDIT: Just want to make clear, that I have never actually attempted to taint the innocence of any of the girls, mature or not.

I see a lot of maturing going on right now, so ya, I think she'll be more mature at 18 than she is at 17. 18 is of course an arbitrary marker for adulthood and there's definitely no assurance someone is an adult at 18. I find adulthood is a byproduct of life experience, usually bad experiences. But ya, age and maturity are very relative. I know too many 40 year olds who aren't as mature as a lot of 16-18 year olds in many ways, but they do at least have some life experience to draw from when making decisions. At least in theory they do.
