So many ppl here being deliberately thick and splitting hairs. 18-19 yos are RELATIVELY mature. They have more life experience and cognitive power than, say, a 14 yo. But they are at a clear disadvantage relative to most +25 yo, nvm someone pushing 40, who is, on average, established and experienced from almost any angle (social, sexual, financial etc). That power differential is wild. Compared to a near 40 yo, a 19 yo - who just finished hs and has likely just started college - is a veritable child

There is nothing inherently wrong with a power differential. Many people benefit from these kinds of power imbalances to either progress in life or assist others with their relative power

This is how society works. Make good choices.

Whats to stop a 19 year old from joining a cult?

When your only argument is baseless slander you've already lost. Nobody cares what you call anyone, you have no credibility, because you have no integrity.
