An issue we see today for teenagers is driving. A lot of kids are getting their permits and driving as young as 14! Some parents think it’s great. Not having to drive them around everywhere. They can get jobs easier. But they are most likely the one paying for gas, tags, and insurance. Some parents don’t like their children having the responsibility of driving, especially with their kids in the car. Anything could happen. So the question is, should teenagers not be allowed to drive until they are eighteen? Personally, I think its good for kids to be driving at least at sixteen, that way they can actually get a job. A thing that having a car will help with is transportation. We all know parents get annoyed when we keep asking for rides to friends and so on.

They will have a way to and from school and if you’re a parent that takes the kids to school and works early, that’s a very big deal. That would help not only your kids, but you as well.
