Well, nothing so great, if you think about it...... I'm 18 years old now
(birth-day: 8:30 am, August 20, 1988)
For people living in certain countries, 18 years mean nothing!!
But here in Mexico, if you're 18, you count as an adult already
, able to vote, drink, drive (without the minor-age licence's restrictions), marry, go to night clubs...... and be sent to prison in case you commit a crime.
Becoming an adult comes with many freaking responsabilities, the main one being: whatever you do from now on, and whatever happens because of your decision, will be your fault only; you can't go and say somebody else told or ordered you to do something, as being an adult means you take the responsability for each and every action you do......
Heck, it scares me!! I'll have to protect myself from now on, my parents' can't anymore......
Yeah, I might sound immature and everything, but honestly I'm scared, as many things tend to appear just out of nowhere, and nothing will be able to protect me anymore in case I make a mistake...... Still, I'll continue to practice the various values my parents taught me, which have kept me out of any trouble all these years, and see what happens with my life.
For all the other people who's awaiting the day they'll become adults, think about it: are you ready to take the responsability and to keep yourself out of trouble??
