In some countries, young people at the age of 18 are considered adults and can drive a car, vote and get married, while other countries don't allow it. What age do you think is the best to be considered an adult?

Currently in some societies, at 18years of

age

, a young individual is regarded as an adult,

consequently

allowing the young person the right to cast

and license to drive or enter into the institution of marriage. In my opinion, I believe 18 years to be a very appropriate consideration for adulthood because at that stage there is better

physically and from

gained, and

independence.

Firstly

, at 18, the human body and the

brain which

brain, which

is the power house of the human body system are fully developed for

such

a person to carry on responsibilities as choosing a good

partner, selection of leaders and driving on public roads

This

means that at that stage of

life

, the

brain

of the young individual has better cognitive ability, having

also

gathered several

experiences and built effective relational skills that enables him function properly as a complete, fully developed adult. As an illustration, a study done by world renowned

brain

surgeon, Dr Ben Carson revealed that the

brain

function of an 18year old individual when compared to that of a younger human is able to better process information, retain memories/data and think effectively. Another important reason, why 18 year olds should be considered adult is that at that point in

life

, the young individuals having concluded senior high school in most cases,

subsequently

finds himself in an entirely independent environment either as a university student or working a paid job. What's more, these young ones find themselves living outside the watch of their parents, in far away towns as students, leaving them the sole responsibility of personal and school decision making, while those who get employed are

age

certainly is a determinant of adulthood stage of

life

and I strongly feel that there is not a more appropriate

age

to be regarded as adults and partake in all the benefit/duties that come with adulthood, as the

age

18 since the individual is fully formed and already independent.
