 * Age 16 || At the age of sixteen, a person has gained the right to have a driver’s license. This person can now drive a car. In a way this is like having a really, really big bicycle, and proves a person’s ability to provide their own transportation. This also is a way of symbolizing the independency that you can now move yourself and you don’t need to rely on others for mobility. ||
 * Age 18 || One is allowed to vote in the United States of America at this age. This is giving the individual the ability to choose who they want to be the future leader of our country. At this age an individual is allowed to get married without the parents permission. ||
 * Age 21 || An individual is allowed to drink alcohol at this age. Along with this privilege comes the responsibility to limit one’s drinking and to not drive while one is drinking. ||
 * Age 65 || One is now a senior citizen. They have lower ticket prices for some locations such as museums, the movies, and the zoo. They also get a discount on Wednesdays at the Toco Hills Kroger. ||

All of the marital, drinking, and driving laws are in the state of Georgia.
