He is able to risk his life for this fight, but he cannot drink a beer with his dad on his day of return? People say that 18 year olds are too immature to drink and cannot handle it, but then why are they allowed to hold two jobs, be a legal adult, drive, and go to college full time? It seems to me that the only reason for the drinking age to be older than eighteen is that people are scared that the eighteen-year-olds would not be able to handle their alcohol, but anybody who just starts drinking needs time to get used to it. In turn, nobody is perfect and no matter when you start

Freshmen trying to escape from violent paddling, the star quarterback conforming to signing a pledge for the coaches, being caught by the parents trying to throw a party, and confronting bullies are just a few scenarios these teenagers deal with. The movies features a large ensemble cast, with no renown names. However much of the cast manages to portray their roles with great proficiency, with this movie potentially being their breakout role.

College students have access to alcohol in some way or another. If students want to have alcohol they will always find some way to get that alcohol.

I just wish there was somewhere that I could meet other teenagers without having to worry about my friends getting drunk or pregnant but also not feel like I'm in elementary school again. People that don't support a facility either don't know what's really going on in high schools or just don't care and don't want to "waste
