There are a few exceptions, but most teens are pretty damn immature. I know I had a higher opinion of my maturity and capabilities when I was 15 than I do now (er, than I do of my 15-year-old self, that is). Some may show good behavior, intelligence, and higher emotional security, but none are fully cognitively developed by a long shot. Actually, at 24, I've noticed that happened both to me and my peers just in the last two, maaaybe three years. More like two. The maturity gap from 20 to 25 is astounding and I relate much better now to people in their 30s than to people even a couple of years younger than me.
Fortunately I never got mired in with an older dude because I've just always been Really Not Into older dudes, but that vulnerability is absolutely there, generally speaking.

The exact same thing happened to me once I turned 25 this year. It's like your brain turns a switch on in your head and you're suddenly quite different from how you were at 20, despite the small age gap. But it (along with my own experience as a teen getting taken advantage of by an adult) is also why I feel very uncomfortable when I see 25+ year olds still lusting after teenagers because, even though said teen may be at the age of consent, there really is a world of difference between a teenager and someone in their 20's. I can't help but take it as a sign that there's something wrong with them, especially when they insist "but it's okay, they're legal!!". Like, do they not see how questionable the whole situation is? Do they not remember how dumb and easily influenced they were as a teen?
