You had good parenting, therefore you were mature enough to make smart decisions.
If your parents had been less effective or attentive, you probably wouldn't be the person you are today. And it is people who come from those kind of backgrounds who end up making bad decisions around the age of 18, when they suddenly have a lot of freedom and no real sense of how to handle it.
To my eyes, 18 is a little young to be deemed a full adult. I'd say 21 is closer the mark, especially for guys.
