> she is the age of consent in her state and old enough to seek emancipation, get a job, and drive a car so she is basically an adult by Washington standards
The age of consent is to be taken literally: the age in which one can consent to sex. That doesn't mean she is legal. 18 is the age she is considered an adult. She cannot consent to having sex with anyone outside her immediate age range. Secondly she is not old enough to drive a car, at least not by herself. She is simply old enough to have a permit, which allows her to drive only if an adult is present.

> though we all know as soon as she turns 18 she will find some lonely old incel to be her caretaker forever so what is the point of self improvement
Tell me honestly why you think this when you believe she has no inherent value. What value would she bring to any 'lonely old incels'? What lonely old incels would take care of her when she's not interested in improving anything she is.
