It seems that this post didn't land. Clearly, I need something stronger.

"Octopus's Garden" is the best Beatles song.

I'll be real, I don't know any Pavement or Beatles songs, so I can't dispute your claim.
 
in everyday situations (obv not more pressing and worrisome ones) people who play the "behind the back/go to higher ups to talk on someone then play friendly too when around" don't deserve to be listened to or concerned over (especially since lets be honest: most are just tryna finesse their angles.)

be an adult, if you can't handle yourself as one we should treat you accordingly, a child.
I may not get on with everyone (no one does) but I respect a human soul enough to go to them myself and say "Hey I didn't appreciate that and think you were wrong for that." Because thats what a good soul does - if you want respect from others you don't undercut and undermine - you'll get more respect being honest and standing for self - discussing rather than conniving.
Who knows, you might end up seeing their side, THATS being an adult.

the minimum age to own a car should be 18. If someone isn't old enough to do things like vote or give consent, then they shouldn't be trusted with a giant 3000 pound block of steel that can go 120 miles per hour.

I appreciate the sentiment, but you basically do have to be 18 to own a car in the United States; you may be theoretically able to buy a car before you're 18, but you have to be a legal adult to register, title, and insure it. If you're under 18 in America, the only way you're driving a car legally is if your parents let you use one that's under their name and accept a chunk of the responsibility for any damage you do.

I bought my own car and I believe I technically own it and I’m under 18. I don’t technically pay for my car insurance but I pay my parents since they pay for my car insurance so I guess I pretty much pay my car insurance.

If your parents are the ones giving the money to the insurance company, it's not fully your car yet. It sounds like it will be fully yours soon after you turn 18, which is awesome, but it's not going to be so until you're able to give your money directly to the insurance company. I'm also not clear on what you mean by "technically" owning it. Is it registered and titled under your name at the DMV?
 
i think to legally own a car you should be required to be under 18.
the older you get the worse your reaction time is, making it more dangerous for you to be on the road. and once you’re an adult you should already have realized that walking and using public transport is better for your health, your wallet, and the environment

I remember after buying it registering it under my name or something and getting a (overpriced) license plate for it. So I’m pretty sure. I can’t keep up with everything. You know how school (for the most part) made you feel smart? Well the adult world makes you feel dumb. Everything’s so complicated and there’s hard to memorize terms for everything and you need a million passwords for everything and nothing anyone says makes sense and there’s always a deadline for everything. I feel a strange sense of feeling old and too young at the same time. Like when I realize it’s been four years since 2020 and I’m like, “Wait what? What happened to time?! Oh no I’m old now!” And then there’s times when I need to do complicated stuff like taxes and setting up payment stuff and I feel too young for this. I often look back 5 years or so at my younger self that couldn’t wait to drive and get a job to make money and buy whatever he wanted. You know, adult life is “freedom” to a kid. I want to go back and say, “Be glad you don’t have to do those things. It’s more complicated than it looks. Right now you’re probably as free as you ever will be.”

That's pretty normal. Eventually, the adult world will also start to become more understood to you. Don't stress too much about it.

I am interested to hear that you registered it yourself, though. As far as I know, that's not a thing where I am. I guess it's a state-by-state kind of deal.
