I am soon turning 18, the age you're generally considered to be an adult.

Anything anyone thinks one should do on their last day as a "child"?

Cry your eyes out:p Ah what the hell you're still a child, and you'll still be a child when you're eighteen.

Watch cartoons from your childhood and order your parents to make you snacks and stuff. If at all possible, spend the day in a onesie. They're like adult-sized baby-grows. It'll help ease the transition for you :pac:

So nothing happened, I was half expecting some remarkable transformation to occur, and I leave smarter stronger and more mature.:P
It felt a bit more like this..

Spend whatever's in your wallet on something totally daft as when you turn 18, you automatically are in debt to the tune of 3.4 million to the State. Don't start boohooing that it's not your fault, man up, you're 18.

I'm 23, nearly 24 and honestly..In no way should I be considered an adult. I can barely look after myself.

It doesn't end at 18!

He is right op

When I was 18 I still had that teenage mentality. As does everyone (unbeknowingly at the time) I find most people dont really mature until they are a bit in their 20s. I didnt mature till i was 24-25. Sure some people can be 35 year old babies. But generally its around mid 20s. (from what i've seen)

You're not an adult until a random mammy calls you "the man" to her child and you look behind you and then realise she means you. Weirdest self realisation ever!

Happy birthday OP. Now go make watery coffee, burnt toast and put it on a tray with some jam and bring it to your mum in bed, sloshing coffee everywhere just like you did when you were little on mothers day. Then jump on the bed spilling the last of the coffee. Today is her day too. If she is at all like me she will be equal parts proud of her wee man and part devastated that he is all growed up.

Happy birthday OP!

Now that you're 18, make sure you drink lots, but also consider giving blood (www.giveblood.ie) - a fun way to 'celebrate' turning 18

The way I wish my employer would let me respond to that one:

"Stop being bold Jimmy or the man will put you out!"

"No missus, I won't, the poor kid is trying to play, now shut up and stop using me as a pawn in your lack of parenting skills or I'll put YOU out."

Except that happens much earlier when you work in retail.

By that logic, I was an adult at 16 :P
