Most 18 and 19 year-olds in Britain are quite independent people. English people say that children grow up more quickly now. Relationships within the British family are different now. Children have more freedom to make their own decisions.
For example, children aged 13 may be employed part time in Great Britain. Age 15 is legally a "young person" not a "child". Age 16 is a school leaving age. They can leave home, drive a moped, marry with "parents' consent", buy beer. Age 17 can drive a car. Age 18 can vote, get married, drink in pubs.
Education is a very important part in the life of British youth. One can't become an independent person without it. When time comes to enter a college a young Englishman chooses one far away from home. It is a necessary part of becoming adult.
During the last 30 years there were a lot of different trends in youth movements. All of them were characterized by their own phylosophy, way of life, style of dressing. Each tendency was bom by the influence of economic and political changes in the society. Those trends are known as the "hippies", the "punks", the "rockers".
