smoke cigarettes, vote, move out on their own, hold down a full time job, go to college, in most states not have a restriction on their license anymore, enter into a legal contract and be held liable for anything they sign for (vehicle, business deal, etc), buy a vehicle on their own (some places may require a co-signer, tho), get a credit card and rack up their credit bills, and most of all find out what the real world is all about/like.

In America, you can vote, you can do jury duty, you can sign a contract or a lease, you can sign up for the military, you can get married without parental consent, and you can give blood.

Well...You're considered an "adult".
You can join the army (at 17 you could do that anyway).
You're no longer committed to Juvie, but you're taken to jail.
You can buy cigarettes (some states)...

Get credit, be given harsher legal punishment, legally view adult material and go to other adult places.
And yea, I forgot. You can have more dangerous (slightly higher paying) jobs.
