Depends.....are we gonna start treating 18y/o men and women like adults? We used to....but the last 30 years or so, we've treated em like kids...and, because of that, theyve acted like it.

Idk abt yall, but once I went into high school at the age of 15, I was called a young man.....and expected to act like it. Nowadays, we have people in college still called "kids".

Maybe Im old n full of sh!t....or maybe Im not.....

AMEN.. To much "entitlement thinking" in this generation.. Smfh

No way,should drinking be lowered to 18 yrs old.
30 yr olds are still living w/ the parents or returning home, because they couldn't cut it. The statics are alarming.

As long as we treat people like children, make excuses for them, financialy support them (parents or government)..
We have a society of children.
Act like a self sufficient adult & be treated & respected like one.
