18th Birthday Wishes
Adulthood begins at 18 in some countries. It's only a legal change, but there's also a right of passage. Parent and child relationships change. 18-year-olds demand a little more respect. Use clever words to welcome a new 18-year-old to adulthood. Here's a list of more than 30 18th birthday wishes.

- You’re old enough to drive, vote, and enlist yourself in the military, but you’ll have to wait to drink alcohol and carry a hand gun. I guess they don’t want you to try out all the dangerous things at the same time.
- On your birthday, I hope you can see, life just got a little more difficult and you're also a little more free.
- 16 is about growing up and becoming independent by driving. 18 is about being responsible and being treated like an adult.
