Recently I had the privilege of shooting this sweet sixteener's birthday session which got me to thinking, what so sweet about sixteen. I tried to research the topic and came up with little to explain this magic number. So I decided to compile the top 16 things about being 16.
16. In the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy, sixteen year olds may purchase tobacco products.
15. In Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal, sixteen year olds may legally drink alcohol.
14. Join the armed forces in the United Kingdom.
13. Vote in Austria in Nicaragua!
12. Drop out of school. :-(
11. Earn the right to privacy laws surrounding OBGYN practices.
10. Consent to medical treatment.
9. Get married with parental consent.
8. Get a job in most states!
