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? Give reasons and examples.

At the

age

of 18, people are considered as adults in some countries and are allowed for voting, driving a car and to marry someone in some countries, whereas, in some countries, they rare not allowed to do so.

Although

, the responsibility and maturity of a person cannot be determined by their

age

, we can decide an average

age

in which all the citizens in a country will attain the basic level of maturity to understand the importance of being socially responsible. In my opinion, 22 is the right

age

to decide the life partner, choose the right political leader

and to drive responsibly

Suggestion

and drive responsibly

.

Firstly

, at the

age

of 18, they study in the schools or in the

first

year of college, where they are still dependant on their parents for most of their needs. Because of

this

, they should still be considered as children and we should give enough time for them to complete their graduation and become

independant

free from external control and constraint

independent

. Once they graduate, they will be facing the society as a responsible adult.

Secondly

, 18 is the

age

where children will be slowly exposed to bad company, unstable relationships and unclear ideas on politics. Giving a driving licence to them may lead to misuse of a licence for dangerous speeding on the roads. Getting married at 18 is even more dangerous, as an 18 year old will not able to handle the responsibility of a husband or a wife, which may lead to domestic violence or divorce. A study in IIT Madras says that 30% of the couples getting divorced are the ones

for

married before 22 years.

On the other hand

, when a boy or girl reach 22 years, they are in a phase of life where most of them will not be supported financially by

thier

of them or themselves

their

parents. They are slowly understanding the society while doing their

first

jobs or entering into post graduation.

Hence

, allowing the young people at

age

18 may give mixed results. When people are given good responsibilities after an

age

where the foundation of social responsibility and political awareness is made, accountable driving, harmony in the marriage life and even

selection

Suggestion

the selection

of a good political leader can be attained.
