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?

Parents

  • They have changed things alot over the years ,in the 70's most people left school at 16 , you where treated more like an adult earlier.

    Now people don't leave there parents home until into there 20's , so i can understand how infuriating it must be  ,especially when it has become evident that a large percentage of "adults" are basically idiots . we had alot more freedom  + i think having responsibilities helps you to grow up quicker. .

    My old instructor said boys are useless until at least 21 - accidents waiting to happen in every way - and that was in the work environment.      Now they are still at school until 22..

    My grandfather started work at 14 in heavy industry . At 16 i had a house to run and 2 step children . Treat a person as a child they act like one, give them responsibility they show who they are . All this still at school at 22 is so political all started with thatcher.

    It was Bliar who told the kids they should all go to uni - in Thatcher's day, (my era) it was only the top 10% - and most degrees had a destination - a job or career.

    Now it's all useless toilet-paper degrees needed for shelf-stacking.-  with £50k debt to keep them trapped as children..
