22、人兴奋的方式表达自己吗？这种自由会带来什么新的责任？在这里，三个年轻人告诉我们 18 岁对他们意味着什么。返首页30 贝萨尼 16 岁 澳大利亚维多利亚州我迫不及待地想要年满 18 岁。原因是虽然我离开学校后就一直在工作，但我不会在下次大选中投票。为什么？因为我年龄还不够大。如果你已经到了能挣工资和纳税的年龄，无疑你会被允许对政府如何支出纳税人的钱有发言权！我也一直在上驾驶课，事实上，我将在返首页31 18 岁那年参加驾照考试。妈妈担心我开车。作为一名救护车司机，她见过很多涉及青少年的车祸，她认为取得驾照的法定年龄应该是21 岁。但我想我已经足够成熟了，明白开车也意味着要为自己和他人的生命负责
23、。返首页32 林宁 19 岁 中国上海市我在上大学前庆祝了 18 岁生日。我期望会立刻有不同的感觉，仿佛我关上了童年的大门，踏入了一个全新的成人世界。但现实并不是那样的。当我第二天醒来的时候，仍然有条例要遵守，还有课要上。事实上，这种变化比我想象的更加微妙和渐进。我不再像以前那样自私，而是开始对别人有了更多的了解，并培养了更强的社会责任感。举个例子，明天这个时候我将签署器官捐献协议。这对我来说是一个返首页33 重大的决定，我没有征求父母的意见就做出了决定(尽管我知道他们会同意的)。18 岁也改变了社会对我的看法。当一家银行联系我向我提供信用卡时，我真的很惊讶。当然，对于金钱，我想有更多的自由。
