It is a pleasure to be here again to contribute to this great contest. I will be sharing my childhood and adulthood experience and also show you my preferred so read on.

Who is considered as a child in your country? Include age

cultural day in primary school

A child in my country is someone who is still under the parents and does not have sole control of his/her self. Pupils of the primary school and nursery schools as well as secondary school are considered as a child.

When i was growing up as a child, i used to stay around my mum and daddy and because i believe on their protection and coverage. As a child you receive advice from your parents and make sure you adhere to it.

A child in my country is considered from age 1 to 17 years old. At this age, you are still under your parent and your duty is to do house activities.

As a child you were supposed to be in school during schooling hours and not hacking the street selling things. There was a certain time were some stipulated laws were made that no parent should give his/her child goods to go and sell during school hours. This was because of the free education on ground and this really encourage children to go to school.

As a child, you are not allow by law to own properties this is because, the law believes that you are still tender and doesn't have capacity to handle situations.

Who is considered as an adult in your country? Include age

An adult in my country Nigeria is from the age of 18 years and above. This age is legally recognized by law and we believe you are free to own properties and also take decision by yourself.

At this age you are free from your parents control and we believe you can leave your parents and have your own home.

As a female child, you are mature for marriage and your parents will willingly give you out to their in-laws.

At the age of 18 years, a male adult is considered as a man and he can take a wife for marriage as well as own his home.

An adult has responsibility to handle in the family, community and even in the country. You are expected to pay tax as an adult in my country. But you must be working before paying tax.

Childhood or Adulthood, which do you prefer?

Talking about the most preferred stage of life, i would prefer adulthood. Adulthood is from the age of 18 years above in my country as stated above.

My reasons of choosing this stage is because this stage is full of reasoning and responsibilities. As an adult you no longer think as a child and you need to wake up from been a child and start thinking as an adult.

If you are a man, you need to Carter for your family and that is the reason i love adulthood of life. You can make and take decision and keep good relationships with people globally.

Adulthood gives you the freedom to travel unlike when you are restricted by your guardians, but adulthood there is no kind of restriction. This is the reason i love adulthood of life.

Give at least 3 reasons why you prefer childhood or adulthood

The following reasons are my major points of preferring Adulthood to Childhood.

1. Maturity
2. Independence
3. Make and take decisions
4. Carter for your family
5. Take responsibility. Etc

All these and many more has made me to see adulthood as more preferred to childhood.

If you have pictures of your childhood and adulthood, we will like to see it.

When you look at the above picture, you will noticed that at this stage of my adulthood, i am free from control but that doesn't mean i will look down on my guardians or people around me!

I don't have my childhood picture here with me, i would have posted it here too.

Conclusion

Childhood have a role to play in every ones life and it is the foundation of adulthood. Without childhood there won't be adulthood!

But i have preferred adulthood to childhood because of the responsibilities to handled and freedom.

Note; there is nothing as good as freedom. Thank you for reading through my blog.
