Rejected petition Higher adult age to 19
Set the adult age to 19 as 18 year olds are still so young as they still have the same mindset as a 17,16 year old and most if not all are still living with their parents , why are they forced to grow up because of the law
More details
Because 18 is way to young and people use it as a way to be weird for example “she/he’s 18 so it doesn’t matter” which is alarming! And again 18 is way to young for a person to be considered a adult they’re not just magically grown up with working 9-5 hours jobs do better
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition refers to "adult age", but people gain different rights and responsibilities at different ages, and we're not sure what rights and responsibilities you want to be postponed to the age of 19.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
