I'm 17, a minor!!!!!!!!!!!!, and i'm 18 in three months.
What change is going to happen to me on March 4th when I turn 18, and become an adult? Will my IQ suddenly rise 20 points? Will I suddenly become as mature as every other 'adult'?? No! I'm going to be old enough to go into pubs and clubs (not that I don't already, but at least i'll be doing it legally). That's the only thing that's going to change in the next few months. According to the law, i'm old enough to have sex, up until recently I was old enough to buy cigarettes (except the bastard bastards on this bastardy Island changed the bastarding laws, but I digress). In my opinion, there shouldnt be an age limit on anything - the government should stay the fuck out of our personal lives, and give us responsibility for our own actions. If you're not given any responsibility, then how are you going to get any as an adult? Fuck, that might just be the reason why so many adults act like kids, drink drive, fight, and do all of that other stupid imature shit that you adults do just as often as these 'kids' youre talking about. Basically, the difference between an adult and a teenager is this - we do the same stuff, you just do it legally. But if becoming an adult means i'm gonna have to look down on people under 18, and say "you shouldnt do that, youre just a kid, blah blah blah" then fuck it, I aint never gonna turn 18.
