While age 18 is the legal age of adulthood, some parents have a hard time letting go. Should 18 year-olds make their own life decisions or should parents still be the authority?

When you were 18, did you stop listening to your parents? If you have kids who are over 18, when did you let them make their own decisions?

18 isn't old enough. Parents should still make big decisions (4.4%)

    18 is a legal adult in most USA states, but it?s also true that an 18-year old?s brain is still developing. It don?t think parents should be completely out of the picture at that age... I know I still really needed help and guidance when I was 18, no matter what the law said.
