AdulthoodThe legal age of adulthood should be 21. This is a point that I learned after reading the articles in the section, “When do Kids Become Adults?” With the information that these articles gives on the maturity of teenagers is directly related to an underdeveloped brain that is not fully developed until someone is twenty to twenty-five. Some countries that have twenty-one as their legal age are showing signs of it impacting the life’s of its people for the better. Finally the third main reason is a question that you must ask yourself is, “Who is making the age and for what purpose?”        The most important thing to realize is that a typical human’s brain is not fully developed until about the age of twenty to twenty-five. Neuroscientists have now proven this as fact for most teenagers.  People say that this is not a set-in-stone face but everyone knows at least one or two teenagers that are very immature. Yes teenagers can have moments of maturity but very rarely are you able to find a teenager that is able to always act like an adult. At only sixteen we trust teenagers to drive alone and the numbers show that over 60% of those drivers will be involved in some type of wreck before they turn seventeen.
In the United Kingdom they raised their legal adult age for foster children to twenty-one. This raise in the age from eighteen has allowed the foster kids to be able to attend college and life with their foster families while attending instead of being kicked out of the foster system. Some do not think that this is applicable for the U.S. because it will cost more money, but with more people going to college that creates more job opportunities for others to do what they want to in life. Better jobs for people with an education means that more money will be made by the nation. This is a good policy in the long run, because it allows more money to come back into the nation or the state. No one wants to think of what will happen if they were kicked out of their home but if they are able to stay longer and go to college it not only allows them a chance at a quality education but it is also keeping them out of trouble.
“The goal is to create a child-care system that promotes family-friendly parenting and social integration. A “one day home” where kids stay, family-friendly education, and meaningful employment, can all be achieved without the presence of a government-run family-friendly program.”
“This is why many children who are in a foster home for the first time will not have access to the services of a child care counselor while their parents wait for them on a waiting list for adoption. Children who have been on the waiting list through the “one day home” are not necessarily being matched for access to all of the services provided through the “child cares” organization, and in fact may be being left waiting longer with less money. I am proud to be working to end child care poverty and ensure that the next generation of children are cared for by providers who know that it is time to begin to change America’s policy to provide children with the best education possible and access to the care and care that they need.”

It was an embarrassing day for Hillary Clinton.
When it came down to it, the candidate would get two questions on Thursday. One about the dangers of abortion but one about Planned Parenthood.
It was both questions that had to be answered from her.
It wasn’t just the candidates who were upset. A number of Republican elected officials on the Hill were concerned about the situation and how this could have played itself out. One former Democratic presidential candidate (Hillary Clinton) said the Clinton family’s funding would end as a result, saying she will “absolutely” support ending the practice. Republican Representative Ted Lieu spoke at a rally in Las Vegas on Thursday, saying his family needs the donations to make sure that abortion remains illegal. I asked him directly if he thought Clinton’s campaign had gotten the message right.
“Absolutely. I don’t think she’s gotten it right,” Lieu said.
“I think most of the family is happy when she does talk about things like that,” he added.
Well, my initial question was to why that’s the case.
Why wasn’t she calling Hillary’s campaign? There was nothing her campaign did about it, and no matter where it came down politically or who she is, she would not have been the first person to make a political statement attacking a woman who has come forward with the fact that she had an abortion. Clinton has taken the time before to explain all sides of what she cares for, with no political statements ever in the news about how she really understands them. The only thing that matters is that, when you’re talking about what she has been able to address for the past three years, that
