depends on your state actually. a child-under the age of 8-there is discretion for criminal law. civil laws are different-you can sue anyone. what state are you in? I may be able to find you a link.

Below 18, your rights are basically to have your parents treat you within certain limits, such as defined in "child abuse" and "child neglect" laws.  Your responsibilities are to obey your parents to the extent short of committing a crime.\n\nAfter 18, your rights are to do what you will within the criminal justice code and the laws governing civil responsibilities (tort, administrative law, and the like).  Your responsibilities are to pay your bills, avoid breaking laws, and care for any offspring or spouse you may have.\n\nAfter 65 (or so; there's a fuzzy area here), your rights are to collect social security, get discounts on lots of things, and be treated with a certain respect.  Your responsibilities do not, in substance, change from what they were when you were younger, except that nominally, you do not need to get a job.\n\nNow, that's a rough overview of the legal situation in the US.  More generally, I believe it is your responsibility to learn from the wisdom of your elders, and for elders to share their wisdom with the young.

It's 16 or 18 depending on circumstances. For more info, see my source.

18 I believe is the actual age that most states recognize as "adult status"

It depends on what you want testing you want.  Most states allow minors to get tested for pregnancy andm sexually transmitted diseases without parental permission.

Its a united states law that you have to be 21... doesnt matter what city your in, if your drinking in this country, you must be 21. (with the exceptions in some states that say that if you are married to someone over 21, they can legally purchase alcohol for you or if your with a parent and youre over 18 they can legally purchase it also)

since you are a minor i won't elaborate. Just remember this, keep it up and when you are no longer a minor and get nabbed doing what your doing then you will learn what happens.

AFAIK, nationwide minimum age for possession is 18..you get a ticket for minor-in-possession of tobacco.

You can be charged with a state crime at any age.  It is simply a matter of whether you will be tried as an adult or as a juvenile.  Children as young as 10 have been charged as adults.

Not only does this criteria differ from state to state but it can also differ from one location to another within the same state. You would have to check the local codes or restrictions. Some areas have a curfew and minors cannot work past those times. The local courthouse should know or try checking online for your location.

Easy question, 21.\n\nAt 21 you can do all the things a 21 year old can do and all the things that an 18 year old can do.

it all depends.  It has a lot to do with how many other crimes a minor has been convicted of and stuff like that it also depends on the age because a person my be still considered a minor by the state they might not be by the crimes they commit on how harsh they are.  It is really on a case by case basis
