At what age does a child become an adult? The answer depends on your culture or
religion. Here are a few examples.
First, in some North American Indian cultures, a boy became a man around the
age of 13. At that time, he would go into the woods alone, without food or water, for
several days. When he returned safely, he became an adult man. Girls became adult
women as soon as they were old enough to have babies, also around the age of 12
or 13.
In Japan today, young people become legal adults at age 20. Each year on
January 15, they celebrate “Coming-of-Age Day,” when all the twenty-year-olds in a
town are invited to attend a special ceremony. They wear traditional clothes, listen to
speeches, and visit with old friends.
Finally, in the United States, the passage into adulthood takes several years.
American teenagers look forward to their 16th birthday, because in most states that is
the age when they can get a driver’s license. The legal age of adulthood is 18, when
Americans can vote, get married, and work full-time.
