"There are three stages of adolescence - early adolescence from 12-14 years, middle adolescence from 15-17 years and late adolescence from 18 years and over."

I think it really depends on the individual. I know some 16 year olds that act and live like an adult, and I know 20 year olds that are like kids.
Neither is bad, and neither is unusual.
So I don't think we can attribute a certain age for adulthood.

I think the age limit thing is a generalisation for giving people certain rights according t maturity. In reality, we all get mature at different rates, so as the guy above said, a 16 year old could be more mature than someone who's 20.
