's legal adulthood only starts when he or she turns 21. What defines a legal

However

should be 21. In

essay, I am going to explain the reasons for

stand.

First

Linking Words

although

might assume that most 18-year-olds have reached maturity, research has shown that adolescence actually extends into the early 20s. An 18-year-old's mindset has not fully mated. They are young adults on their way to explore the world, to experience and to learn new things.

Thus

, some of them try to act cool like women and men when they do not even know how to handle the responsibilities as adults.

For example

, they go clubbing and drinking, but never learn about the consequences. Accident statistics in many cities in Russia showed a substantial jump in the number of drunken driving accidents involving 18 to 20-year-olds.

Second

, in reality, most young adults are still in high school when they are 18 years old and they do not have a job.

Therefore

Linking Words

, they are not ready for all of the physical and mental challenges that go along with being adults

such

as raising a family or supporting themselves. For many parents, the term legal

does not mean their children possess certain

characteristics.

For instance

, being an

implies being able to make mature decisions, participate in civic matters, have self-control, and be responsible. Some 18-year-olds simply lack these characteristics and need

time to develop them. It is quite clear that when children turn to 21 years old, they have already been in colleges and have had some life experiences,

therefore

, they understand how to responsible for their actions. In conclusion, 18-year-olds are not matured enough to be considered adults. The best age should be 21 when
