Each new year brings new freedom. What you choose to do with that independence is up to you, you freedom. However, with the rights we are afforded come equally important responsibilities. We have the responsibility not to abuse those rights, because for sure they’ll be taken away more easily than they were attained. 

However, if you use those rights and privileges maturely and as they were intended, you will see more and more liberties coming your way. And of course, with more rights, come, (you guessed it), more responsibility. If you show your parents that you are a mature, dependable and moral individual, the freedom and decision-making will be all yours.
