Re: New Rights as an 18 year old

You get the right to enter into contracts etc. You have all the rights of any adult, except the purchase of alcohol. You also have the same obligation to support yourself. It is you parents home and they have the right to make the rules. If you don't like the rules you can leave and go out on your own and support yourself. With increased rights comes additional responsibility.
