You pay adult prices and get to do a lot of things over here once you're 16....but also, a lot of things reuqire you to be 18....so I'm not actually sure what age we're considered 'adult' over here.
But all I can say is, if we're still not adults at 16, then why should we pay adult prices at cinemas and theme parks. etc?
moezychan:
The subject of adults are very iffy in America.
15 1/2 - Allowed to get your permit to drive
16 - Allowed to get your licence
18 - Allowed to vote, buy cigarettes, die for your country, and get married without your parents permission
21 - Allowed to drink alcohol, but are carded
25 - Allowed to sell alcoholic drinks, and buy them without being carded
34 - Allowed to run for president
So I really don't know what we call adults here. :sweatdrop:

Hmph. My parents are so weird. I was looking at the "Let's see you lovely faces!" topic, and my dad peered over my shoulder and asked what I was doing. I said I was just on a forum talking about anime, and he's like "Better not be with stalkers!" And when I protested, he saw the pics of everyone on the forum, and said, "you better not be posting your picture on the internet!"
On another occasion, my mom actually looked at the MSN convos I had opened, she said, "do you know those people? Who are you talking to?" I said, "people I know, mom. From school" (which wasn't all true, because I had some internet people on my list. And she just frowned at me and walked away. But I swear she kept trying to take a peek at the screen.
Bleh. My parents always think I'm chatting in a chat room or talking to a stalker.

My mother does that all the time. I find it annoying, but I have computers at college so she's not on my case all the time. :okay:
Moon:
My parents are same way, Cherry-chan. Well..not exactly, really, but I know they glance at what I'm doing from time to time. They don't really ask who I chat with on MSN.. but my mom does say " Be careful who your talking with.. " and blah blah blah. -_-
