Teens not comfortable with adult treatmentDate Posted: 2009-09-04 Japan’s constitutional amendment process involves a national referendum, which states those 18 years of age can vote, and ‘The Conference Room’, a newspaper column, has asked 54 people whether the legal age should be 18 or 20. Some 55.6% of those surveyed say that 18 is too young to be called an adult; that people should wait until they’re 20. Even those who’ve turned 20 weren’t comfortable, with 63% saying they didn’t feel like an adult. Two-thirds of those polled say they couldn’t decide on any constitutional amendment before age 20, while nearly 80% said they didn’t even want to vote until they’re 20. What do teens think important in deciding when they’re adults? “When I take responsibility for my actions,” said some, “while others said “when I get a new job and become independent.” |
