i think they dont have the right
to say what we can and cant watch but
have a pannel of peeple wich they think
has experince enough to say diffrently
its called the FCC or something anyway
all of the members of this panal talk about
al the shows and difrent programs and
why they think its a bad idea to show a certain
tv program..a few months ago there was talk
of a new anime show comming to certoon bet work
but the FCC or what ever saw the show and said it
was to violent and could give kids idea's on how to
harm another person so the cartoon network
didnt air the new show .

Hello!

First off, I thank you for a cool thread to write in. Here's my opinion.

I believe that 13 years is not near enough time for an individual to develop. Sure...there are exceptions, but these exceptions are extremely rare. Most 13 years olds have not lived enough...simply...just not enough years under their belt.

I remember when I was 13, I thought I had seen everything...and that fact is simply not true. There is a logical reason why adulthood is established at 18. It is about the average age when people are capaple of compiling all their previous experiences in life, and making a logical decision from these experiences.

It's very hard to believe...but now that I'm 22, I definitely realized how childish I was at 13...but really, there are more mature 13 year olds than myself...but...that is rare...and therefore...it is not considered adulthood.

I agree, both medicaly and mentaly you are not anywhere close to being an adult.
The strait and narrow is that 13yr olds are not ready or capable to take on the responciblities of adulthood. Just sit back and take it easy for now, because once you leave mom and dad you will have no-one to pull you from the fire.

You are officially an adult when you are 18. You're still a kid when you're 13 and have no real say in anything that's important and that matters. Listen to your parents kid, they know alot more than you, they've gone through everything you have, and they know what's best for you. Even if you don't agree.


And this is too mediocre to be a debate topic.

Probabley the people who are saying what you can and can't do are the people who love and care for you. The people who say this have lived a young life and know the experiences and are just protecting you. I agree I hate when im told what I can and can't do. But I also know that ther is a reason for why I can't do what I want. And when you reach 18 you have the right to make dicissions for yourself.

From what people are saying about maturity and adulthood..well i think different people reach maturity at different times, depending on their circumstances etc etc.

I think people (some -_-) mature some where between the ages of 13 and 18, maybe sooner maybe later who really knows. 18 really is just some age that was long ago said to be the common age they thought where most people were mature enough to make decision for themselves. Your old enough to drive, finish school and in Australia drink ( i heard it's 21 in other places).

There has to be some age when they give responsibilty to the child, i guess they just picked 18?
