Alcohol with 16?

Everybody knows in Brazil the minimum age is 18. But should it to change for 16?

Many people believe that a teenager of 16 has conscience about what he is doing. That is, he knows what is a crime and yours punishments. The teenagers of 16 has some responsibility and know the diference between right and wrong.

On the other hand, if the minimum age will change for 16, the teenagers (from 16) will be able to drive, to go to adults places and, mainly, to drink. And in Brazil the alcohol is a problem. The minimun age in Brazil is 18, and a lot of teenagers (of 16 and 17) drink, if the minimum age was reduced to 16, the teen of 14 and 15 would drink?

In my opion the minimum age wouldn't be change. Because the teenagers in Brazil has any responsibility with theyselves neither with alcohol.

Getting married nowadays is something easy, if you just don't see eye to eye with your husband or wife, it's easy to get divorced. That's why people forget that they need to be responsible in their decision.

We can see that in the past people used to get married at the age of 17 or 18. These marriages take a lot of time to fall apart, but it's fascinating that sometimes it doesn't. So maybe, people could really fall in love with their partner. And acquire the responsibility of being married.

Few people can deny that a lot of couples are breaking up more often that in the past. So people should think a lot before getting married and teenagers under 21 usually don't do that. Moreover getting married is a serious thing and should be done when both people are mature enough to deal with the things that the marrige brings.

Tying the knot is easy. The hard thing is to live side by side with your partner and learn from his or her faults.

In conclusion, I think that the best thing that people should do is to think carefully before taking any decision. And remember that what God has joined together men can't destroy and it's FOREVER.

Children can be criminal

According to the law, children over the age of twelve can't be responsible for a crime.
Many people believe that children are innocent and don't know everything about life, that's why they never really know what are doing and can't be respondible of anything.
However, children always grow up beeing educate by their parents or somebody else. So, they start to know what is correct and what is not the done thing since they were younger, that's why many people agree about changing the law.
In my opinion, children can be criminal exactly because they use that view of innocents to do a lot of wrong things, like rob, and don't be punished. I strongly believe that the law should be change so that children over the age of twelve can be responsible for a crime.

Teens driving, is that ok for you?

The minimum age for driving in Brazil is 18, but that's a topic of discuss. Many tennagers wish it to change but most of the adults and parents hope it to continue or to increase the age.
Driving is a very serious thing to do, and when you do something wrong the consequences are huge.
The teenagers are not responsible enought to drive a car, specially when they're 16 to 18.
The minimum age for driving should be increased to 20, because the teens will be more mature and they will be more responsible.
Few people can deny that most of the accidents that happen are caused by young drivers, usually around 18. Most of the times the driver is drunk or didn't know how to drive the car right. That's why the young people should think a little and see that driving brings a lot of maturity and responsible. Are they ready to do this?
On the other hand, some teenagers say that they're responsible to drive and they suffer for something that others irresponsible teens do. Moreover, some parents agree with that and trust enought their kids to drive. And we can't deny that young people driving make the parent's life easier because they don't have to pick up their child everytime they leave home.
In conclusion, is obvious that still exist responsible and matury teens but also have those ones that are always involved with accidents and irresponsible things. In my opinion, the minimum age for driving should be increased to 20. We would prevent a lot of accidents!

Hello you! :)

Here comes the text...

Nowadays, it’s a fact that in most of car accidents, young people between 18 to 24 years old are involved. They’re usually leaving parties at dawn and driving under the influence, putting theirs and others lives at risk. Recently, a very well-known journalist published an article in the newspaper saying that the minimum age for driving in Brazil should be reduced to 16.

Inevitably, it caused a lot of controversy, because despite the fact that adolescents want to be more independent from its parents, many people considered this measure a threat to society, as car accidents involving young people are increasing a lot. (And only people up to 18 are able to drive. Imagine if the age was reduced.)

On the other hand, we should emphasize that even thought there are lots of irresponsible teenagers, some part of them is mature enough to drive a car with no adult supervision and it is very unfair to deprive them from this opportunity.

I recognize some vantages, but I’m against the potential law. I tend to think it would only be a good thing if the government invested in education and driving lessons to adolescents.

Otherwise, every time a person turned 16, their friends would think “Oh! There’s one more trying to increase the number of deaths in traffic!”. Just kidding! ;P
