Coming of Age Day
Thirteen is an important age for most girls in the U.S. because it's the beginning of the teenage years. At 13, girls are just a few years shy of getting their driver's licenses, voting, and other activities that mark the transition into adulthood.
People are considered "of age" at different times in different cultures. In Japan, people celebrate their passage into adulthood at age 20. For more information and some great photos, check out this story about Coming of Age Day, which was celebrated yesterday in Japan.
At what age do you think girls turn into adults?
