Wrongs of Passage

I agree with Sydney's argument concerning the wrongs of passage. Our society has taken the wrong path on the rights of passage. These steps of adulthood have been blown out of proportion. And she used the perfect example of Cher and her sweet sixteen car. I actually saw this episode and thought that this girl was ridiculous. But that is what our generation sees and is influenced by.

I suppose a right of passage I have experienced was getting my driver's license and receiving my car. I always knew I would get a car when I got my license because my sister's old car was just sitting in the driveway awaiting a new owner. This was a positive experience for me because I felt like I had earned responsibility by getting this new privilege of having the ability to drive. My parents did put restrictions on me, but I still felt I had moved a little closer to adulthood with this new responsibility.
