how many things do you think you could do when you turn 18 that you could not do before. im just curious. cause i just turned 18 last august 23. and we had a big party with some band and my band. but what im curious about is what can i do to enjoy my current age. i can only think of one. and it's that i can go home late at night. or i can go home the next morning.lol.i mean, i can go to overnight swimmings or girls night out without having to worry about what my mom would say to me or if she will get mad at me. and i can go with my friends with out having to dragging my brother to go with me so that mom would let me go. isn't that fun. but still... i know my limitations and i know what is wrong and what is the right thing to do. i think thats important too.

besides being allowed to vote, and have my driver's license, i guess nothing more, just extended time when i go out.

it's nice when you're 18 coz it feels like you're legal enough to do some things. when i was in that age i had tons of fun though i was free to go out when i was 17. anyway what you can do is just enjoy your teenhood because you got like two more years of being a teen. have fun but be very cautious that you won't be able to destroy your life. learn to manage your time and while you're having fun be also prepared for the big life coming up ahead. stay late if you like just be responsible enough. you only got one shot of being an 18 year old girl. any experience you'll have on that age would be somewhat helpful for your life ahead. goodluck and hope you the best. :)

It has been over nine years since I turned 18, but I was so busy with various things that I never really got into anything. I think you pointed out a few of the main points regarding getting to come home late. At 18, you're recognized as being a legal adult, so that is definitely a milestone compared to when you were 17. Shoot, I would love to be 18 again and feel that 'newness' of being a legal adult. Now, getting older only influences car insurance rates. LOL

I just turned 18 not long ago and it does give a sense of freedom, but that's really about it. I plan to use my freedom well though and take on more responsibilities as my life progresses.
