I'm 17 years old, to be 18. I'll be given all of the legal responsibilities of an adult and alot of the rights too.

I figured, what better way to spend an 18th birthday than to attempt to perform as many of my new rights in one day as possible =P

So the question is, what are all the rights an 18 year old gets?

This is what I have so far:

1: Register to vote.

2: Purchase and use tobacco products.

3: Purchase fireworks.

4: Purchase lottery tickets.

5: Drive with as many people as I want in a vehicle.

6a: Purchase or be gifted any non-handgun firearm.

6b: Purchase or be gifted a handgun from a parent, grandparent, or spouse.

6c: Open-carry a handgun in public.

7: Make a will.

8: Get a credit card.

9: Enter a bar.

  1. 10.  Buy lighters/ computer duster and other things they regulate because people abuse them, but honestly computer duster is something you need...  so are lighters even (candles, incense, etc.)

    11.  Legally have s*x with an adult (depending on the state law, some minors - usually around 16 - can have legal s*x with people up to 6 years older than they are).  But on the flip side... learn your state laws.  Some states do not allow ANY 18+ year old to have s*x with anyone under 18.

    12.  Enter or work in a "Gentleman's Club/Male Revue".

    13.  Buy adult films/toys.

    14.  Sign a legal document - lease, loan agreement, contracts of all kinds.  On the flip side... no more joining book/cd/movie clubs and being able to default on the promise to buy 6 ____ in the next ______ months, because now it will go on your credit.

    15.  Build your credit rating.  Hey, in lots of states there are first time home buyer programs you can use as young as 18 - you just need a down payment, a job, and to take a class (in FL at least, other states may have additional requirements.

    ____________

    1.  Now you will always be charged as an adult.  Don't mess up.

    2.  Beware of credit card offers for 18 year olds, especially the scam artist on college campuses who give you T-shirts/DVDs/gift cards/whatever when you sign up for one.  They always have sky high interest rates.

    3.  Jury duty, which is no longer pulled form voter registration rolls.  Now they just check drivers license databases.  Start coming up with excuses, buddy!

    Happy Early Birthday, and Good Luck!


  2.
