About Adults
Adulthood in the United States arrives in stages rather than all at once: most states let you drive with a full license before you can vote at eighteen, and full car rental privileges often wait until twenty-five. The clues here cover the paperwork and habits that come with those years, from a mortgage and insurance to a budget, a commute, and the errands nobody assigns you. Others point to roles adults take on, such as parent, mentor, voter, and retiree.
Reach for this in a life skills or civics lesson, when students are mapping out what responsibilities actually look like after graduation.
