Legal Age

Becoming 18 for many is very bittersweet. When you are a minor, you can pretty much get away with so many things. Because we were young, we tended to rebel more and paid little attention to consequences - because our only real form of punishment came through our parents. Police didn't bother much with us because we were not adults yet. However, once you are 18 - there is that transition in which you have to be so careful with whatever you are doing because now you can really get in trouble by the authorities. I think it is just strange that you can get punished so much more readily at 18 - i feel like the age is so random, but there is definitely a shift.
