That's Life

Drinking - 18
Driving - 18 Smoking - 18 Marriage - 18 Cannabis - 18 Voting - 18 As someone else said, the sex age is a bit weird. It would be illegal for me, being 17, to have sex with a 15 year old yet Hugh Hefner is currently engaged to someone 60 years his junior. Which is worse? Something needs to be done about that.

The ages should be low as realistically possible. To say that people shouldnt be allowed responsiblity for their own life and actions until they're 21 is ridiculous.

The driving age has already been moved up to 18 years. People who are born from 1st september 1993 will have to wait till they are 18 to get a drivers licence.

Sex - 18. You are not allowed to watch porn at the age of 16 but allowed to have sex?? Stupid. Also I think it's a good idea that education will be made compulsory up to the age of 18. It will give students more direction. However most students have the same education up to GCSE level. When the compulsory education raises to 18.. not every student should be forced to do A levels because not all are clever enough. They should be forced to go down a route though and do something! At least education up to the age of 18 will give the younger generation more direction. It is harder to get a job nowadays. Well infact actually.. I think 16 year olds could possibly find a full time job at Mcdonalds or a shop easier than an 18 year old.. why?? Because the company pays less for 16/17 year olds.
