Evidence proves otherwise

your evidence shows a blatant disregard for tradition

sweet 16 and quincenera are for girls

>u, ur friend and dozen slutty girls hangin out n everythins cool
wouldnt be posting to Sup Forums if i had sweet 16s like that

Traditionally that's when most girls would have already got periods and boobs, hence marriageable. But the infantilisation of the Western World means that people only become matured adults if ever at 21.

Do Americans have sweet 21 parties to celebrate when they can drink?

its a ritual where young women are prepared for whorehood and carreers in porn.

americans drink in college as freshmen
they celebrate everyday

It's not uncommon to see a car as someone's 16th birthday gift.

what if you're poor

You get a shit car

Cars are way cheaper in usa than in Europe

you'll still get a shit car

imagine getting a 1999 ford fiesta for your birthday while that giganigga got a lambo, I would kill myself.

A 1999 Ford Fiesta is one of the most common first cars for people in the UK lel

Why would you even want to bang these insecure dumb sluts?

It's basically only rich people's spoiled kids. Your average American doesn't have one.

>here you're 16 now so you can drive this car that goes 300km/h :DDDDD
>BUT WAIT
>you can't drink until you're 21 :DDDDDDD

this always baffles me

No most Americans who are going to drink probably have drank between 12 and 16. By college its normal for everyone to drink regularly. 21 only means you can go to nicer bars.

Literally the reason the drinking age is 21 is because DC pressured the the states into raising the drinking age or they wouldn't get funding for highways

Yep. Thank you Reagan.

Wtf I hate the federal government now

>now
