Any mature 19-year-old you might know is a statistical aberration and proves absolutely nothing.
Plus, that mature 19-year old is STILL immature compared to how mature he'll be at 29. ANYONE at 19, no matter how mature relative to the rest of society, is not finished growing emotionally. She is immature compared to her uptimate adult state. The brain doesn't finish growing, making final neural connections til 25. Those last neural synapses to fill in are in the critical thinking part of the brain. Someone under 25 simply does not have the physical brain connections to make critical decisions, much less the experience or emotional maturity.
