Sometimes. The human brain doesn't fully develop until the early 20s, so, theoretically, 18 year-olds should be more responsible than 16 year-olds, as their brains are further along towards full development. But if I were to give an answer based on what I've seen of teenagers, I'd be inclined to say no. Some 18 year-olds realise that they'll now be held more accountable, being legally considered adults; many do not.

yes. 17 - 18 are sex-obsessed, drink 25x more alcohol than a pentioner. This is probably because of the hormones put into chicken, when a 17-18 year old eats the chicken the hormones will make their testoterone/sexual levels rise.

How come you cant drive at the age 14?

because the government and many U.S. citizens think that 14 year olds aren't responsible enough to handle a car on the highway. for some 14 year olds that may be true and some may be more responsible than others, but that's what it comes down to. people don't trust kids.

The oakdale preschool accepts 4 year olds and 5 year olds and has a total of 63 students. if the school has 7 more 4 year olds than 5 years olds, then how many of the children are 4 year olds?

Let's call the number of 4-year-olds "x" and the number of 5-year-olds "y". From the problem, we know that: x + y = 63 (because there are a total of 63 students) x = y + 7 (because there are 7 more 4-year-olds than 5-year-olds) We can use substitution to solve for one of the variables. From the second equation, we know that y = x - 7. We can substitute this into the first equation: x + (x - 7) = 63 Simplifying: 2x - 7 = 63 Adding 7 to both sides: 2x = 70 Dividing both sides by 2: x = 35 So there are 35 4-year-olds in the preschool.


Should 11 year olds have a mobile?

It Depends I think it's perfectly fine if you have a plan. You can take away the phone for some time if they go over their minutes. If they do it a lot, wait until they're older. I think 11 year olds can be very responsible. If they aren't, then simply take it away until they're more responsible.
