Character and Morals

I’ve read that in islam there is no restriction of age for intercourse,puberty is enough, but where i live there’s this idea of people over 18 shouldn’t be with those under 18,and i’ve grown up with this,so now i’m struggling,for example if i see a female under 18 i may feel bad(because of people around)and stop looking at her even though she’s lawful to marry, is this Kufr?
