13 years old should be the legal age of an adult?

Should 13 be the legal age of full adult/rights & do you think its equal to 18yrs old

It's perfectly sound. An 18 year old's brain is much closer to fully developed than a 13 year old's.

That said, I'm not a fan of age-based prerequisites for adulthood, but I also understand why they exist, and why they'll continue to. And as long as they do, 18 is a far better cutoff than 13.
Were you not trying to justify your stance with your second sentence? It applies to 18 year olds too.
