Answer 1

The legal age for most of things is 18. But the more adult things like strip clubs, adult book stores and drinking is 21. You can enter clubs at 18, but drink at 21. So, at 18. You're legal to a point. Hell, you can join the armed service at 18. But you still can't drink until you're 21. Only question 8 you can do at 21.

Now have fun with you're 21 year old girlfriend.

Answer 2

Ok, the age of majority for Mississippi is 21.
Each jurisdiction is different but - going to a bar is sometimes dependant on the bar. Here in our state if you are under 18, you cannot be in a bar past 9:00 pm. Some bars will allow you in later, some will not so that they don't have to bother with checking ID's on anyone who purchases under the assumption that once they are in the door they are old enough.

You can make a will at any age. It may not be legally binding unless your parents sign it - however they can assist you.

Curfews are generally city ordinances, not state - so check in your local area. Try googling your city/town or speaking to a police officer. They aren't so bad and will answer an honest question.

Can you get your own place. It depends -- legally you can probably get your own place, but most places won't allow you to "sign the lease" without your parent's assistance. This is because if you aren't of age, and you cut out, they don't really have much to hold you to.

Can you have a sexual relationship with someone over 21. Probably. BUT - if you are only 18, you should be very careful in considering whether or not you want to do this. Most (not all) 18 yr. olds are not so good at making good long term decisions.

Can you enroll yourself at college. Probably. But even being 18, since you are just leaving your parents, most colleges will consider you as "living with your parents" until you have lived on your own (claimed yourself on your own taxes) for at least one year. So unless you are independently wealthy, you will have a hard time getting a loan.

Now, of course, you could move to a different state, establish residency, and then go to school -- but you are much better off trying to let your parents help you if you can.

Answer 3

1. I hope you have money to pay for the apt. and the tatoo. You can do all those things when you are 18.
2. No, you're not a minor at 18.
3. You can get your own place if you can pay for it.
4. You can get a tatoo at 18.
5. You can have sex with anyone 18 or over and not get in trouble by the law. The other person's parents are another story though.
6. Some citys have curfew for any age. But as far as I know it should be 18 is no curfew.
7. yes, you can enroll yourself in college if you can pay for it.
8. You can make a will at any time in your life. There is no minimum or maximum age, as long as you can pay the lawyer.
9. I don't know about MS but in CA the legal age for going to a bar is 21.
10. The adult store, That I'm not sure about but I believe it is 21.

Answer 4

Okay - I'm answering in the order you typed them:

you are a minor in any state until 21

as a legal adult (voting, etc.) but still a minor, you can get a place of your own

you can in Ohio, check out your local ordinances

the only person that may get in trouble is the person over 21, but since you're considered a legal adult, there should be no problem

don't think so

enroll away

you should be able to do this once out on your own and not a legal dependent of your parent(s)

check with the bar owner; every place is different

that's probably 21

hope this helps!!

there became a time, back interior the 1950's at the same time as the age became 18, and then it became decreased to 17, and then 16 in some states. Now, the numbers tutor that it as straight away as back might want to would want to be raised to 18. yet, it extremely is something which will take years to position in position. yet, the coverage for a 16 and 17 365 days previous drivers would want to get so "out of sight" that the fashionable relatives isn't waiting to attend to to pay for it, and which will keep more suitable youthful ones off the line.

Answer 7

Answer 10

Age of majority is 21 in Mississippi (MCA Sections 93-5-23 & 93-11-65). If you are under 21, you require parental permission to get married. At 18, you can consent to your own health care (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/456472_3 ).
