You didn't see what I was getting at. If being an adult means living on their own, without others' influence or help, then there has not been a single adult since before humans began forming tribes.

Without influence or help, no one would do well. That's just a fact. Humans are not a species that can live in isolation from each other. Living on your own and never receiving guidance or help are two different things. I never even said anything about not having influence or aid from anyone, I'm merely talking about having the right to make my own decisions.
