Enjoy it while you are there.
Once you are past 18, you have more rights: right to earn a living, to pay taxes, to pay rent, to get up at 6h for work even if you were out with mates the night before, right to be responsible, to pay insurance....
That said, you can already get a job...

The law is the law. Once you turn 18, you will probably still complain that you can't drink. Get over it. Millions of teens feel and have felt like you have. Yes, I was bummed when I was your age because I could not do alot of things but I realize that at 15 your judgement is well - probably not as good as an adults. Yes, many teens are responsible but more often than not, they are not and make stupid decisions and are irresponsible. Why do you think car insurance rates are so high when you are a teen - its because one: you have little experience and teens have a tendency to drive faster than most thus causing more accidents.
If anything, its because the law wants to protect you from unneccessay harm by making bad decisions. Unfortunately, many adults make bad decisions. Oh well, just wait - when you
turn 18 you can smoke, drive, get married and did I mention - sign up for selective service.

The reason been is that all of these things you have mentioned are Responsibilites and past the age of 18 you have a better understanding and are able to cope with situations. Been 15 is a chapter of you life the older you get the more you have to look foward to and life beings to expand.

Enjoy each day as it comes along. You are only young once! Remember that, because it will help you to appreciate your youth. Growing up takes time, and then there will come a time when you wonder what happened, where did the time go?
Live for today and be happy with your life. This will help you along the way and it will help you develop patience -- something that you will be glad of as you get a bit older.
Have a good day.

When I was younger I always wished to be older so I could do things and now that I am older I wish I was younger. Enjoy your young years because they don;t last long. Then you have bills and Taxes.
