The legal age that one becomes an adult is defined as \nthe age where they can legally enter into a contract. \n\nIn most of the world, the legal age is 18 with the following exceptions:\n\nAge__Country\n\n15: Iran \n16: Scotland \n17: Indonesia \n19: South Korea & British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Yukon Territory in Canada \n20: Japan \n21: Saudi Arabia\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult

In most states it is 18, otherwise a parent or guardian would need to sign for the person.

18 (when you become an adult)

Generally 18. That's when no one else can claim you - unless you're a fulltime college student.

Yes, there are differing levels of "adulthood."  Generally 18 is the standard (consent to contract, purchase of some "adult" products, etc.) Some states mandate age 21 before the individuals can have access to adult movies.  Most states rate the age of consent for sexual activity somewhere between 16 and 18.  Most states universally charge defendants as "adults" at 18, with prosecutorial discretion to divert some juvenile offenders to adult court based on particular facts and circumstances.\n\n"Adult" is just a term, and it is often defined in many different ways in different contexts.

hope this help:)\n\nCanadian citizens and permanent residents living in Canada, 18 years of age or older, may sponsor close relatives or family members who want to become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsors must promise to support the relative or family member and their accompanying family members for a period of three to 10 years to help them settle in Canada.\n\npls. go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/index.html\n\ngood luck

Quick answer: Yes, if you are 18 or 19.  Long answer:  it all depends on the specific right.  Minors are not citizens.  Basic human rights apply, but citizenship rights do not.

Depends on where you live.  Some places it's 16. Some 15 1/2.  There are even some places that are changing the age to 17 or 18.

When I could make decisions based not on what was easy or fun but what was the right thing to do. When I could honestly put others needs ahead of my own , even when it was hard. When I realized wants and needs are two entirely different things. \nMature adult isn't a specific number age , it is something from the inside. Also a mature adult realizes they are fallible and they are not immortal.

You have to be at least 17 with a parents permission, and the maximum age is older than 35 now, I believe it is 39.

You are considered an adult by law at the age of 18.  However, even the government knows that 18 year olds aren't very responsible since that legal drinking age is 21.\nI believe you are considered an adult when you start acting like it.  When you can support yourself on your own, behave responsibly, and own up to your own mistakes.
