You likely will not be approved to buy a house or a car. The mental capacity of an 18 year old is still that of a kid as they have not had any real life experiences.
I hope when you have kids, iF you don't already, that you don't expect fully functional adults at 18. If so I feel pain for them already.
Im older than most on these boards and have a son of age.Mental capacity blame game at 18 can go a long way,,mostly do to money issues.Laying hands on a women don't fall under the I did not know category for me though.
Like I said earlier.Im willing to give him a second chance but he damn sure was no kid making that mistake.
