YCEEC - 4th YOUTH CREATIVE ENGLISH ESSAY CONTEST

Responsibility

Typically, Young adults believe that once they reach the age eighteen they automatically become adults. Irresponsibility is a problem with today's youth, which represents, in turn, a sign of how immature some adolescents can behave. Adulthood encompasses a great deal of independence, responsibility, and reliability. Thus, many young adults hasten to announce their independence, claim privacy rights and assert property entitlement be granted or recognised at once.
