Legal Ages
In our group we were interested in knowing the legal ages to do things in different fields. So we asked the students in our class what they thought, and then we checked on the internet and with our e-pals.
Generally, we, French students think, that in the United States, the legal age for
| Driving | is | 15 or 16 |
| Smoking |
13 to 20 | |
| Drinking Alcohol | 21 | |
| Carrying Weapons | 18 or 21 | |
| Getting Married | 16 to 21 | |
| Having a Sexual Relationship | 10 to 18 | |
| Being Sentenced to prison | 10 to 16 | |
| Leaving School | 16 | |
| Coming of age | 16 to 21 | |
| Working | 15 or 16 |
Actually in France the legal age for
| Driving | is | 18 |
| Smoking | 16 | |
| Drinking Alcohol | 18 | |
| Carrying Weapons | Never | |
| Getting Married | 16 | |
| Having a Sexual Relationship | 15 | |
| Criminality | 13 | |
| Leaving School | 16 | |
| Coming of age | 18 | |
| Working | 16 |
Actually in the United States the legal age for
| Driving | is | 16 |
| Smoking | 18 | |
| Drinking Alcohol | 21 | |
| Carrying Weapons | 21 | |
| Getting Married | 17 | |
| Having a Sexual Relationship | 16 | |
| Being sentenced to prison | 12 | |
| Leaving School | 16 | |
| Coming of Age | 21 | |
| Working | 21 |
So we can see, that the legal ages are very different in France and in the United States.
