Wanting the age for being an adult to be lowered from age 18 in all countries

Sholay09

Hello my name is Shola and I would like for the age for being an adult to be lowered from age 18 to age 16, 15 or even 14 or 13 in this country and all other countries too because I am so angry with older people and people who are young treating younger people which includes children and teenagers like they are babies/little children when they are all not babies or little children anymore. People seriously need to stop treating children and teenagers like they are babies or little children right now as that is not acceptable and children and teenagers should be allowed to have more rights, responsibilities and freedoms like adults already have please I need to know what are the full list of things young people want to change and what are the list of changes that they want to see happen on this planet?

  • I know I can’t speak for everyone but if I had legal adult responsibilities when I was under the age of 16 then my life probably would’ve gone right down the toilet from the very start. Are you a teenager yourself if you don’t mind me asking? As frustrating as it feels at the time when you’re being talked down to I now realise at the grand age of 36 (and a mother, that can put things in perspective when you think about the consequences of what your kids are up to…) that you’re not always as mature at that age as you think you are. That said patronising teenagers and treating them like babies isn’t good either. Also those sorts of people you’re most annoyed with probably have plenty of problems with adults too for various reasons. They’ll manage  find something to put you down about

    I may not be a teenager anymore because I am now 23 years of age but it still affects me though.

    I think a lot of laws are there for a reason - to protect you from certain risks.
