1. I do agree with Sydney to some extent, but some ideas I'm not so sure about. I do agree that turning 16, 18, and 21 are important ages, but I don't believe that just turning those ages means you're an adult. There are plenty of 18-year-olds that act as if they were still young children. I do agree though that everyone must go through their own certain steps into adulthood. I don't necessarily agree that it involves a change in their routine, but it absolutely does have to do with changes in a person's life.
2. Well, at this point in my life I'd say a rite of passage I've had so far is my mom dying when I was nine. It was March 10th of 2004. I went through so much in that time period. I watched my mom suffer, I saw the people around me, the adults that were supposed to never let anything bad happen, suffer. The person I was supposed to be able to always count on was no longer there for me to lean on. I felt a responsibilty to grow up for my younger brother, just three at the time. I had to be strong for him. I think I did grow up a lot thoughout the nine months my mom was sick.
