The worst coming-of-age ritual in secular culture is the 21st birthday/legal drinking age birthday and I hate that one. Like alcoholism is bad and that type of rite of passage makes it worse.

Yep! Mistakes are inevitable, but there’s no good reason to glorify them. Ritual celebration of bad decisions is IMO a consequence of poorly-scheduled freedoms; rebellion is only growth if you’re unreasonably constrained
