Does Age Matter
When you turn 18 you are an adult? What are you kidding me? How come you just turn 18 you are an adult you can vote, you are legal. The age determines what right in our society. When we grow up at different ages we are expected to do or learn different things. For example by age 16 you should all ready be able to drive, and by age 18 you should be an adult. I dont believe that age means anything. Its the person, for example when i was 10 years old i was expected to take care of my self and my sister. Since my dad was gone most of the time and my mom was gone. I had to make food for myself change myself and do the same for my sister in a way i was 18 taking care of my self because at 18 you are expected to take care of yourself. Also i got to drive at age 17 because i was not ready at the age 16 i believe it was wise that i wanted because it gave me time to get use to the road. Also on another note, Does age really matter?

Those are some really good points max. I agree with you that although society says that age is a big deal, it isnt necessarily, many people can do the same things an eighteen year old can to much younger.
ReplyDeletei like how you said age isn't a number because its not. i can realte because when you have to take care of someone else you have to grow up whether its a parent or sister or your just babysitting
ReplyDeleteI don't think that age should be like that at all. Personally, I think it should be up to parents to allow what to happen when. The best judges of character for ourselves is our parents who live with us and deal with us more than anyone else.
