16-year olds have higher crash rates than drivers of any other age. Obtaining a drivers license is a huge new step to a 16 year old. Most may think that it is sense of independence and freedom. It is exhilarating to be a 16-year old and know that they will no longer depend on their parents to drive the to school, party 's, theaters, meeting with friends, and many other places. Unfortunately, being a 16-year old with a drivers license has brought a lot of problems to teens and their families.…
Crash! That was the sound of a car accident caused by an irresponsible teenager. The legal driving age should be raised. At the ages of 16-17the risk of a fatal car crash is highest. The driving age should be raised because it would save lives and young people aren’t responsible enough.…
Growing up most kids can’t wait until they turn sixteen so they can get their driver license. It’s even a dream to most teens and to take that away would be a world of terror. After reading both articles “Should the Driving Age Be Raised to 18?” and “Do Teens Need Graduated Licenses?” I can explain the different opinions on why teens shouldn’t get a license or drive at sixteen and if teens should go though a program called “Graduated Driver License” to keep lives safe and reduce car accidents yearly.…
Adults but not adults at the age of 18 How are we adults, if we’re not seen as adults? In the United States, the age of adulthood is 18. At the same time, people are restricted from being able to consume alcohol, in a responsible way. If we are declared adults at 18 we should have the right to decide if we drink or not. The minimum legal drinking age should be lowered to 18 because 18 is the age of adulthood in the United States, you can do everything in the world but you're prohibited to drink, and less laws will be broken because people will be more responsible while making wise choices.…
At what age should an individual in the United States be able to experience the pleasure of drinking their first alcoholic beverage? Should the age remain as it is or should the United States follow the majority of the world, where 61% of 196 countries have a legal drinking age of 18-19? The continuous controversy in the United States on whether or not the mandatory legal drinking age should be lowered to 18 years of age has been ongoing for decades. The legal age to consume alcohol in the United States has varied around the country throughout the years. Once upon a time different states in America had the freedom to make laws stating the legal drinking age as low as 16 years old.…
Stay longer at work to earn more. If you work around your parents house they may give you money. You can do the dishes, wash clothes, clean around the house, and more. You can tell them how much you want for everything you do. Also, you can do work around the neighborhood.…
At sixteen someone can get their permit or their drivers licence, which is also considered to be a right of passage, along with getting your own car, because one could go anywhere they wanted and no longer have to arrange a ride with their parents. Another big step in life would be to get a job. A job means that you’re making your own money that you can do whatever you want with. It also gives you a glimpse of what life in the future will be like when you will need to work to make a living.…
For most Americans, 16th birthdays are synonymous with getting a driver’s license. It is a monumental day for most teens, however many believe that teens are too careless to drive. While teens may seem more reckless and irresponsible, they only account for about 12 percent of all fatal crashes per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The minimum driving age should not be raised because fatal crashes involving teens are steadily decreasing due to tougher restricted license laws and teens can receive valuable experience at a younger age.…
Most teenage drivers are involved in car crashes every year, and more are killed than in any other age group. Even to this day, 6,000 teens die in accidents annually—more than fifteen a day (Triplett 1). These alarming statistics prove that receiving a driver’s license at the age of sixteen is merely too young. Teenagers are incompetent about being on the road, which increases the chances of putting others at risk because they have not developed a strong level of maturity and experience. The driving age among teens should be increased because facts prove that teenagers cannot handle the physiological and physical challenges that approach them on the road.…
The legal drinking age is 21 in the United states of America. The majority of teens have at least had one alcoholic beverage in their life. Definitely not all of them but most of them have. There is a lot of debates on the legal drinking age. Some people say it should continue to be 21 and some say it should be 18.…
There are teens at the age of eighteen who have their license and can drive their friends around but lack experience. If kids are driving by themselves for an extra year, then they will be more responsible at the age of eighteen when they drive with others. With this inexperience, they have a crash rate higher than any other age group. If teens start earlier and drive more before they are free to drive their friends' places teens should lower the number of accidents they have on the road a substantial amount. Teens should be able to drive at a younger age because it can help them be more responsible.…
Everyone agrees that alcohol shouldn’t be given to young adults or children under a certain age. Alcohol is a very dangerous substance, but when used moderately, it can give people some benefits, especially for people aged 65 and older. Consuming one drink per day can lower the risk of heart diseases and diabetes as well as improve memory, but this may not benefit everyone who drinks moderately. On the other hand, if you drink a lot, alcohol can also damage every part of your body, such as your brain, heart, liver and pancreas. All around the world, alcohol has been a part of religious, professional, family and social life.…

If you know your parents won’t let you go downtown with your friends or spend a day at the beach, etc. Tell them you’re babysitting for the day. If you really wanna stump them, don’t ask for money for approximately 1-2 weeks. Otherwise…
Although many people believe that a person should have their high school diploma before he or she gets their driver's license, but I disagree because you can be sixteen to get your driver’s license and some people are eighteen before they get there high school diploma. I don’t think that you should have a high school diploma before you get your driver’s because when kids turn sixteen they want to start doing things for themselves, and they don’t want their parents driving them around when the 20 because they didn’t get their high school diploma. When you turn sixteen you want to go to your friends parties, and it would be embarrassing if you show up with your parents coming to drop you off and leaving, then when the party was over it might be one in the morning on a Sunday morning then you would have to wait for your parents to show and drive you back home.…
