18 year-old ... "adolescent"
Which is it?
Both.
In civilised countries you can still be tried as a child when you are deemed too immature.
Don't know how it is in France but in Germany this can be the case until you are 27 years old. So while you are for most purposes an "adult" from 18 onwards even a 26 year old can be seen as adolescent. Because the law knows that not all people are the same.
I have to agree with this. I am nearly 50, but I was incredibly immature when I was younger compared to a lot of my peers. And I think individually people need to be assessed based on their maturity levels. It was what it was, and I can't change it, but my circumstances led to that situation.
Plenty of counselling and an interesting life, which we all have probably had in our own way, has put me in step with the majority of my peers now, but I do believe that people need to be seen as individuals.
It could be a translation thing. In certain parts of France, "ados" is a bit of a catch-all term for anyone in teenager or young adults years. It's not strictly defined, but would explain the presence of the word in an English translation.
It's basically the translation to teenager, so up to 20, over 20 they could still be called "grand ado" (big teen) if they're still not really mature.
