What's so special about the age 18? Why is it that when you turn that specific age your considered an adult? Why cant it be sooner? It would make me soooo much happier if it were 16, cause I'm ready to get away. Away from my family, start my own life, get a job and buy what I want when I want without having to ask for permission. Thats what irks me the most. Having to ask for everything. Aren't I old enough to know what I want? What does it matter if it's not good for me? I'll discover that eventually. *sighs*
