WHEN YOU become a
teenager, the govern-
ment expects you to be
responsible for many dif-

says, “Generally speaking, it
shouldn't he so easy for 16
year-olds to gel their drivers
licence, as itis a big responsi-
hility which many [6-year-
olds are not ready for”

The thing is. iT want to
go away and drive somewhere
for the weekend, Pm still not
old enough to rent a hotel
room). Where am f supposed
to stay? Most hotels will not
rent a room unless you're {8
of Over.

What do they think fm
going to do? Rip the curtains,
stain the carpets. burn the
bed? A 21-year-old adult is
just as capable of vandalizing
a hotel room.

I'm also not old enough to
vote and help decide on our

are more mature than a many
18-yeur-olds.

At the age of 16, had the
same frame of mind and opin-
ions that F have now regarding
sex and violence in the
movies. | feel that Pan mature
enough to pick and choose
what movies f want or do not
want to see, though $ do
understand that some people
may not be as mature.

So Ido agree that there
should be a rating. just not as
harsh. T think that the age for
R-rated movies should be
lowered to the age of 16.

Trish Wetmore, 17. say's, “f
agree that the age lirnit should
be lowered, but at the same
time, a warning for viewer
discretion should be indicated
an the movie advertisements.”

Now almost 18, F don't
regret getting my driver's
licence. But 1 do feel that get-
ting your driver's licence is a
far greater privilege and
responsibility than seeing an
R-rated movie.
