Why is 18 the age? Just because that person has graduated from High School he/she still has College and all those to go. Between these years I have seen a lot of teenagers outside after dark and they don't go home. They are not finished with school yet. If I was to choose an age to stop going to school, I would choose at age 21.

I agree with you. Until you are 21 or 22 if you go to college you still are going to school and still need your parents help. You are still a teenager and there are a lot of things you still can not do. You can not even go to the club!!!! or drink or buy guns(not that any of this stuff matters, especially if you are going to college)!!! People at 18 still live in the house with their parents. ONLY one good thing about being 18 is that you get to VOTE!!!!!!! Also, you are considered legal, which means you can leave home and make your own decisions which most 18 year olds don't do either one! You may can get better and more jobs at 18, but that is about all. At 18, my mother still treated me like an 8 year old, so I can honestly ask the question just as you did, Why is 18 such the good, golden age? I think that 21 is, because in reality you are officially grown, and probably own your own at that time. That is my response, I feel the same way you do!!!!!

18 is not a good age because it is the age at which the students need a good guardian as they believe blindly every thing in this age . The children who had a good guidence from their parents will reach to a top position . According to me the good age is 24 at this age they knew every thing what they had to do to settle in the life .

Because than you are consider an adult, and are responsible for your own action, to go to college or not, to move out or stay at home to come in early or stay out later,etc.
