UP AND AWARE - 8

Exercise and Discuss:

Write down what you think is the legal age (as decided by the law) for each activity. Your
facilitator will read out the actual legal age for you to write in the column. Write why you
think that having a specific age for a particular activity is ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’.

Activity Legal age Legal age ‘Fair’ or
(guess) (actual) ‘Unfair’. Why?

ride a two-wheeler/drive a car
(with license)

get married

open your own bank account

vote during elections

pay taxes

take up a job

Share your answers and discuss.

Do you think there is a right age for people to carry out responsibilities?

What do you think happens when people do things that they are not ready to be
responsible for?

‘I must do something’ always solves more problems than ‘Something must be done’.
