Solution:  
RESPONSIBILITIES AND JOYS OF BEING EIGHTEEN
By Navita/Navtej
Eighteen is a magic birthday, a milestone into adulthood of unlimited freedom accompanied by great privileges as well as serious legal implications. At 18 , a teen can vote, buy a house or attain a driving licenses. He can also go to jail, get sued, gamble away his/her tuition via online poker, and make terrible stock market investments.
Some teens think it's acceptable to get out of control just because they're of the legal age. But they are wrong. Becoming 18 years old one should become more responsible one and mature instead of careless and stupid.
You can start working, get your own apartment or go off to college and live alone. The age of 18 is a transition from your young adult years to adulthood. You have to be conscientious; you'll still make mistakes as you try to find your way, but don't forget everything you were taught.
The law is harsher on legal teens than minors, so you should keep that in mind. Being legal and grown up are two different things. Have fun while you're young and live life to the fullest, but make wise decisions and choices because it will affect your future.
At the age of 18 , you can do whatever you want. However, if you make the wrong move, you should also be adult enough to face the consequences. One thing to remember is that if you'still live with your parents, you have to abide by their rules. So, if they say no, you might want to listen to them, so you don't end up on the streets.
As long as you're safe and smart about what you decide to do when you reach the legal age, then go ahead be adventurous! Discover yourself. You only live once.
