If you had the choice to be considered an adult at age 12, would you do it? What would you gain by doing this? What would you lose? Explain all parts of your answer.
I would not want to an adult at twelve years old. You would gain and lose many things by doing it. You can gain more training for a job. You can train and become very good at it and decide what you want to do before half your life is gone. You would also gain more experience than a person who started there job in there twenty's. They would easily gain a good job. You would lose your childhood if you became an adult at twelve. You wouldn't have much time for friends and family anymore. You would be focused on your new job all the time. You would grow up all to soon. You would not be able to be a child nearly as long as people used to. Another lose is the fact that you would be expected to date and get married soon. That is an age way to young to do that sort of thing. It should be done when your older. That would also lead to having early kids when you can not yet handle them. You will have to raise them depending on others for help while you have to find some sort of job with your husband. You need money to support your family after all. Therefore I would not want to be an adult at age twelve even with all the advantages and disadvantages there are to doing it.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at an 12, I wouldn't do it because if I were to become an adult at the age of 12, I would have to take up much more responsibility than I would normally do because I would be an adult instead of a child at 12. If I did it, I would probably gain more things to do, like being able to drive a car and have a job. If I chose to be considered an adult at 12, I wouldn't to do the things kids normally do as much like watching movies because I would have other things to do. That's why I wouldn't want to be considered an adult at the age of 12.
I would like to be considered an adult at the age of twelve at the same time as I wouldn't. The benefit of being considered an adult so early in your life is that you get the amount of respect an adult gets earlier on. People generally tend to give more respect to older people, so being categorized with the adults would allow you to recieve more respect than, say, a nine year old. A drawback of becoming an adult so early is that you would be expected to be more responsible, in which I would fail at, considering the fact that I'm definitely not the most responsible person you will ever meet, and that I would never be able to just become responsible because I'm expected to be so.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at the age of 12, I would not take it. I'm 14 and I have a 2 year difference, but I still feel that I'm not ready to take on the responsibilities of becoming an adult. Sometimes I feel like I'm always treated like a child, and if I became an adult at 12, I wouldn't be treated like that. Although I wouldn't mind being treated a bit differently, in reality I am still a child and I know for a fact I couldn't be an adult. Being an adult takes maturity and responsibility, and I don't think it would be fair to have to take it this young. We still want to have fun and experience what life is. Kids want to do what they want and enjoy their childhood and cutting someone's childhood so short, at such a young age would be a huge loss.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at age 12, I wouldn't choose to do it. Sure, if I would choose to do this, I may be respected more just as an adult is. If I were twelve and considered a kid, I would be respected as a kid, but if I were twelve and considered an adult, I would be respected as an adult. If I were twelve and considered an adult, I would be looked at by others and treated by others as an adult rather than the child that I actually was. Even though I would gain respect, I would lose part of my childhood. You are only a kid for a very small part of your life, and then you are an adult for the remainder of your life. If I were considered an adult at age twelve, I would have to act like an adult also. At age twelve, I believe I should still be acting like a kid and doing things that a kid should be doing. I shouldn't be starting my job and starting to act like an adult. Even though being respected as an adult would be a great advantage at age twelve, I would much rather have the rest of my childhood instead of cutting it short by being considered an adult at age twelve.
If I had to choose to be an adult at 12, I would not do that. When you're twelve, you have not even become a teenager yet. There is so much that happens in a normal teenager's life in their teenage years, and that can even be some of the best years of their lives. It is supposed to be the most fun years of your life. However, if you burden yourself with all of the responsibilities and duties of an adult. If you were to become an adult at twelve, the only benefit would be that you are looked upon as more mature. However this could also serve as a drawback, because if you look mature, you are not socially accepted to do "little-kid things". Therefore, I would not want to be an adult at the age of 12.
If was considered an adult at the age of 12, I would do a lot of things with that privilege. First of all, I would be legally allowed to drive since I am a full adult. Also, I could manage my own life without my parent's influence and do all the things they said that I could when I become an adult that I wasn't allowed to do before. Life would be so much more in my control, allowing me to go about anywhere I pleased and would have the ability to sign contracts that I wasn't legally allowed to before. I would lose a few things as a result of this. The most important thing I would lose is my childhood where everything wasn't serious and every move was careful. In childhood, you can make a mistake and start over like nothing ever happened, but in adulthood everything counts. This is what would happen if I became an adult at the age of 12.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at age 12, I would not do it. We would gain independence and responsibility a lot earlier, and lose our values as a kid. If we were considered an adult, we won't be allowed to rely on our parents to do everything that they normally do for us. I'm not sure that I can live like that, because my parents do a lot for me and I would be able to care for myself. In conclusion, I would definitely want to stay a kid longer.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at age 12 I would vociferously disapprove. It would be way to early to be able to drive a car, vote, have children and other such things brought about by adulthood. We would lose our innocence astoundingly fast and would not be allowed to play as much, joke around if at all, and be held to more responsibility. Finally it does not seem right for people who are at the border between teen and older child to be considered an adult. All in all it would be a negative thing for me and the society in general.
I would not want to be considered an adult at age 12. This is because you lose half of what is considered your childhood. When you are a child and a teenager, it is a time to learn life lessons that you apply to your adulthood. You would have to many responsibilities that shouldn't be a burden on kids as young as 12. Teenagers aren't prepared or responsible enough to be considered adults at a younger age. This is a bad idea, I believe that it would not be beneficial to a society at all.
If I had the choice to be considered and adult at the age of 12, I would not do it. I wouldn't do it because you could miss out on a lot of fun things in your childhood and you would have to act differently and more mature. Also, you would have to handle some situations differently since you would not be considered a child. Some good things that could come to being considered an adult would be that people older then you will now treat you with more respect since now you are both equal adults instead of just a kid who doesn't know or understand anything.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at age 12, I would not do it. There would be more responsibilities that I wouldn't be ready for, such as having a full-time job. If I ever made a mistake, people may forget that I'm only twelve and there would be a worse consequence than if I was not considered an adult. On top of that, there would be more pressure on me to do everthting right because I would be considered an adult. By becoming an adult at age twelve however, my parents might trust me to be able to do certain things that I wouldn't be able to do if I was not an adult, such as shopping in the mall by myself. People may also respect someone more if they were considered an adult at age twelve, rather than if they were twelve in our society because in our society, we do not consider twelve year olds as adults. If twelve year olds were adults, then they might gain more respect from younger kids. Despite the benefits of being an adult at age twelve, I would not like to be an adult at age twelve.
If I had the choice to be considered an adult at the age of 12, I would not do it because I think it's too much responsibility to start work at such a young age. Also, people begin to develop higher expectations; if you're considered an adult, you'd have the same responsibilities as a person that's even 10 years older than you. People would expect more out of you and expect you to not make mistakes as much as you would when you were a kid or a teenager. Something I would gain by becoming an adult is that I could make my own decisions instead of someone else telling what to do all the time; I would have the freedom to do as I please. Plus, I would be able to drive. Something I would lose is that I would be on my own, most likely living somewhere else with bills to pay, and a job to attend to every day.
As difficult as it is to grow up, we all love our independence, we all love to be treated well and respected. Luckily that's a part of growing up. Being treated like an adult comes with good and bad. You have to start being responsible a lot faster. I think I would want this because I would be can able at owning up to things. I would probably lose my childhood but I don't think much else would change. Regardless, I'd want to have this adulthood at 12.
I would choose not to be and adult at age 12. I wouldn't because that is too early to start a job and i would still not know what job to pick it would be a hard choice. Also once you get it you have to stick for it for the rest of your life. You will miss a lot of education like high school and college. You will also miss you teenager life and have no friends. It will be a boring life. Also you wont be able to hang out with your Friends or even hardly ever see them.
If I had was considered an adult at age 12, I would not do it. I would not do it because I feel I won't be prepared to be independent. Moreover, I would feel that I have been rushed getting my education because I have to go into the work force at a young age. Being an adult at age 12, I can gain responsibility. I can be responsible by going to work, spending my money correctly without having my parents help. I can loose on my childhood because I would be forced to work at a young age. I would have not as much time hanging out with friends and socializing. Therefore, there are some pros and cons to becoming an adult at age 12.
