Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

The Tanner Scale measures puberty.

Puberty is the line between childhood and adulthood.

It's really that simple.

If you think there is some other better line, then present your case. Casting dopey aspersions on me just makes you look like a fool.

The Tanner scale measures sexual development. Nothing else. It has nothing to do with general maturity, it just measures if the external sexual characteristics have come in.

What is "general maturity"? What is the scientific tool used to measure it?

or you just made up some bullshit to justify your bigotry against young adults aged 14-20?
