Yes it does. Sometimes it takes a little longer, but only in rare cases does it not. It is safe to assume that a twenty-one year old is a thousand times more mature than a sixteen year old, because in 99% of cases, this is true.

Either treat them like 10 year olds or treat them like 20 year olds.

Okay, so you're upset at the double standard. I can buy that, but I still disagree, as I think some things are to be taken case-by-case. Should a sixteen year old be completely responsible for the consequences of his decisions on the matter of sexual relations and other life-changing decisions? No. Should a sixteen year old be responsible if he kills a man in cold blood? Yes. You learn that a lot earlier.
