Well the only thing I remember being happy about when I turned 16 was that I got my Learners permit to drive a car (with a fully licensed driver) but other than that nothing thats fun.

16 year-olds can leave home without parental permission. They can leave school without anyone's permission. They can have sex in most States although in one or two, Tasmania I think, they have to wait til they are 17. They can get married.
