You're right..........................it is here in the States that 18 is considered an adult, and you've got to be 21 to drink.
However.............................I've been to 26 different countries, and yeah.............in some cultures, when you hit the teenage years, you're no longer a child.
But.......................in most Westernized countries (which includes almost all of Europe), you've got to make 18 to be considered an "adult".
Only problem is.................the U.S. doesn't follow Islamist ideals where it says you're an adult when you hit your teens.
Do you support Sharia law?
don't be a such a moron.
a teen is not a child, it's a teen, not yet an adult, but still not a child.
he could have a job, have himself declared an adult, drive, etc etc
using child to refer to him is buffoonish at best.
Actually, in some cultures, when you turn 13, you're considered to be an adult.
Might wanna check again, because yeah............you're right, in America and in almost all of Europe, you've got to be 18 to be considered an adult.
Ever check into what they say in Africa?
How about the Middle East?
I've been to both and seen what they do.
