Adults have freedom. They have a career. They have something they can work on .They have their own identity. Adults have no bed time, either. No more begging their parents to stay up “30 more minutes”. They are adults, they are older and wiser now, and if they want to stay up all night like a damn owl, they can. Their life isn't monitored or capped or restricted by someone else, they make the decisions that progress in their life. They can drive now. So when they want to go somewhere, they do. Sure they have to pay bills but they can also buy what they want, when they want it. No more begging and crying in the aisle now one just swipes a little plastic card and walks away happily. They can eat whatever they want to, brownies for breakfast sure! But the stuff they buy is expensive and they have to pay for it themselves. They are legally responsible; anything happens they deal with it not mommy and daddy .bills, insurance, mortgages, other money woes. They Work day and night and have lack of proper sleep. As a kid one enjoys summer vacation, now they are lucky if they get a day off. And the worst is health problems with aging. (blogs.tribune.com.pk) (bluesuit12.wordpress.com)

Equipping someone who is unable to fathom the risks of the decisions they make with the power to put themselves and others in danger is far too precarious. For this reason, the age at which adolescents become adults currently established is dangerously low. The age of legal adulthood should be 25, because at this age young adults are truly capable of comprehending the consequences of their actions and are able to handle the responsibilities of adulthood.
