Consider a quiet party. Some people don't require a big blow-out when they turn 18. Spending a few quiet hours at home with your family? Opening presents? Eating cake? If it worked for 17 years, nothing needs to change now. Spend time with the people who love you and relax.

• Make it quality time. Organize some spa time with a sibling or parent, or spend time working on cars with your dad. Do something you'd normally do, but take the time to really appreciate it. Most people assume that turning 18 means that these moments will start to dissipate, but that isn't entirely true. You can make them last, even if you start taking on new responsibilities.
• Make a list of the childhood things you'd like to do, and use your 18th as an opportunity to do all of the things you've always loved doing. Hang out with your brother and watch samurai movies late, or go to your favorite ice cream spot with the family. Remember, turning 18 has more responsibilities, but you don't have to stop being a kid.
• Try a less common party activity, like camping. You can do this at a park with camping spots, or even in your own backyard. Grab a tent, some snacks, some video games, and a few good friends! It's like an all night hangout but without your parent's over your shoulder. If you want to camp in a park, tent spots are usually about $15 a night, give or take. This can be a great way to bond with your friends while also tasting freedom away from your parents.

When you turn 18, you become an adult in many ways. In the United States, you can vote, enlist in the armed forces, marry without parental consent, and be held accountable for your own actions in a court of law. At the same time, however, you're still a teenager and, very likely, still relying on your parents for both moral and financial support. And in the United States, unlike many countries, you're still too young to drink alcohol legally.

Some famous thinkers, writers, actors, and comedians have had a lot to say about turning 18. Some think it's the perfect time of life; others have a very different point of view! The famous comedian Erma Bombeck felt it was an ideal time for parent liberation: 'I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: Checkout Time is 18 years.'

What Happens When You Turn 18

While no one instantly becomes responsible or wealthy at age 18, you are suddenly handed the tools to make financial and personal decisions. At the same time, parents lose the right to make decisions on your behalf unless you hand those rights over. For example:

• Parents can no longer make health decisions for you unless you sign a document assigning them those rights.
• Parents can't stop you from or force you to make legal decisions or agreements. That means you can just go off and get married, lease an apartment, or join the military on your own.
• You can sign waivers for doing dangerous activities such as skydiving or bungee jumping without your parents' approval.
• You can run for many political offices.
• You can legally drink alcohol in many countries including Canada and France.

At the same time that you gain all those freedoms, though, you also lack the experience and knowledge you might need to make the right decisions. Is it really a good idea to move out of your parents' home before you have a job, for example? Many people do leave home at age 18; some handle the change well, but others have a hard time managing on their own.
