I agree being 18 doesn't magically make one an adult, but I also think that the world starts to see you as an adult then. So, if by the time you are 18 you don't feel mature enough to take on these responsibilities, you need to get good at faking that maturity. The world is going to start piling stuff onto you, so hopefully you're ready. If not, hopefully you can get ready fast, or get good at faking getting ready, because the saddest shit is that thew world just doesn't give a damn if we're ready or not.
