Mrs Cloudy

How do under 18s who live independently or want to head off on adventures, manage? It seems to have become impossible to do anything until you are legally an adult. One minute, they're children, and the next, they're adults. How are they supposed to learn? We're keeping them in cotton wool till age 18 and then launching them into the world. No wonder so many get stressed.

@TCMuffin all very well, but what about if they want to go further from home? Apps don't allow under 18s to book anything.

@CloudyMrs In Scotland children become legal adults at 16.

@djm_black try and book any kind of accommodation at 16, and you'd be out of luck. My 18 year old is planning a few days away right now and her 17 and 10 month old friend can't go unless she takes her mum.
