Many countries consider eighteen-year-olds to be adults, while other countries don’t. What do you think about it? Give your opinion and some relevant examples based on your own experience.

Nowadays, it is important to have a clear idea of what age we should call someone an adult.

We could witness in certain communities where parents push their kids to get married at early ages, similarly, some ask to take up a full-time job when they are teenagers. As a consequence, it could completely destroy their freedom and I will be elaborating on this topic with examples in the forthcoming paragraphs.
