I have just turned 16, i was wondering what rights do i have now and what can i do which i couldn't whilst 15.
Answers:
Nothing, pretty much the same
get your license to drive alone.
Have sex if you are in the UK. That's all darling, nothing else changes
Edit:- if you are in the UK forget the ones who say you can drive. You have to be 17 to get a provisional licence and start to take lessons. Unless you are disabled then you can start to learn to drive when you are 16.
Drive a car or get married - with parents permission.
You now have the privilege to obtain your driver's license, but your rights have not changed.
Sorry dear, but the only things that have changed are that you can now get your license, and you can now find a job.
Depends where you live!!
Whatever rights your parents give you. You may get your driver's license, but the judge makes it quite clear that you hold it on your parents' sufferage. Your parents can ask the court to revoke your license at any time.
Play the lottery, Smoke, Have Sex!
Try to fulfill them all!
All at once if you dare.
smoke, have 'relationships' although i wouldnt recommend any till your at least 21
you can get your driver's license and you're an upperclassmen at school.
that's pretty much it.
lets see drive, get married with your parents permission and get a job if not already.
The only right you have is to drive and that's only if your parent sign off on it.
Just what your doing now, being a good girl, aren't you.?.
Have sex and smerk tabs
You have the right to remain silent but anything you do say may be used as evidence against you !
You have the right to not be physically abused or confined. In some states you have the right to marry. You have the right to your own personal thoughts and feelings.
If someone tells you you have the right to drive, that is not true. A driver's license is a PRIVELEDGE, not a right.
nothing besides maybe your drivers license depending on what state you live in.. Sorry but the changes happen at 18 and 21 not 16. You are just going to have to wait.
I guess you can legally get addicted to cigarettes
lottery, and sex. not much really. i turned 16 in june =D
Apply for an instruction permit for your drivers license.
what do u wish to do most?
You are now considered old enough to make your own decisions - and mistakes. At 15 your parents are responsible for everything you do.
And you can drink alcohol with a meal in a licensed restaurant.
In the U.K. you can ride a moped, get laid and smoke.
There. Don't you feel all grown up now?
Work and drive provided you have a license to do so. At 16 you are not considered an adult.

Sex and smoking. But I wouldn't recommend either. Good luck. x.
