Some rites of passage is graduating high school, or getting your drivings license. I think it kinda helps us come of age. Growing up takes owning our responsibilities.

Some rights of passage is getting your drivers license or graduating high school. These help us come of age because it makes us have responsibility.

I definitely agree that graduating high school is a right or passage in adulthood.

Growing up takes 21 years. A rite of passage would be hunting for the first time and killing and animal and eating it’s still beating heart, that’s how you become a man.

This is the standard ritual

Turning 18 for many people is a write of passage. Getting your first job or applying for one. Applying for college. These are a few of the writes of passage.

Jordan

I agree. I can’t wait till college.

Emma Dahle

I think that when you apply for a job is a right of passage and makes you feel more like an adult.

Some rights of passage we have are graduating high school and/or college. I think it helps us to come of age by growing up more mentally. Growing up takes different takes different amounts of time for each individual.

Very true

I was a fully matured adult at 9 years of age

Blazen Burgess

One rite of passage are moving from middle school to high school. This helps us come to age and hopefully act more mature. I think growing up takes awhile until you have responsibilities and duties to act upon.

Sammy H.

I agree, it takes time to mature.

Sam

Starting high school is a good way to symbolize growing up.

A right of passage here in salmon could be shooting a deer or getting your driving liscence. I think these things do help us come of age. I think growing up takes different time for different people. It could happen really young for some people and take till mid 30’s for other people.

Caden Caywood

Yee-Haw cowboy shoot that deer

Very cool comment Johnny

I agree, people mature at different rates.

One right of passage is getting your first kiss from some people, as well as turning 16 years old. Another right of passage is getting your license. I think growing up can take your whole life because you are always growing either by height or by learning new things.

Ariana

10/4/2018 01:17:27 pm

I agree, part of growing up is learning new things.

Jordan

10/4/2018 01:18:21 pm

Getting your license and turning 16 is a big turning point for some people.

Tierryn

Nice examples.

Dick Hadlock

10/4/2018 01:20:32 pm

Yeah

Treygan

Some rights of passage may be getting a phone or your drivers license and yes I do because they show that you are being trusted with something big. Growing up takes different amounts of time for everyone is could be how tall you are or how mentally mature you are.

Johnny

10/4/2018 01:17:54 pm

This is very true

Will

10/4/2018 01:20:46 pm

Nice job, I did not think about that!

Blazen Burgess

I would say some “rites of passage” in our culture would be like turning 18 or getting a degree. Yes I think it helps us “come of age”. However long it takes you to become mature enough to be an adult.

Griffin Mylan

10/4/2018 01:18:11 pm

Nice comment. I agree

Caden Caywood

10/4/2018 01:18:36 pm

Do you consider yourself an adult?

Johnny

10/4/2018 01:20:38 pm

Those things are very important

Tierryn

Some rites of passage in our culture are graduating high school, getting your drivers license, getting your own car, things of that sort. They teach kids responsibility which will help them grow up yes. Growing up doesn’t have an age limit, some people mature faster than others.

Aidan Adams

10/4/2018 01:19:51 pm

I agreed

Jordan

10/4/2018 01:20:06 pm

Some people don’t “grow up” or mature till like the middle of their life.

Tierryn

10/4/2018 01:22:09 pm

You’re an example.

Jamie

10/4/2018 01:23:47 pm

Cool wording, man :)

Some rites of passage we have are graduation of high school or college. They help us “come of age” because it shows that we were able to work hard enough to graduate so we should be ready for the real world. Growing up can take a long time depending on the person and how they live their life.

Blazen Burgess

10/4/2018 01:18:44 pm

I agree it can take a long time.

Caden Caywood

10/4/2018 01:19:32 pm

I agree ☝️

Treygan

10/4/2018 01:19:59 pm

I like the work hard enough part. Good job

Will

10/4/2018 01:18:00 pm

They most common right of passage is when you turn 18 and go live your own life. Yes learning to live on your own without other aid is very important in being an adult. I think growing up takes 18 year.

Caden Caywood

10/4/2018 01:20:05 pm

Many adults are 18 year

Lani Belgarde

One of our rites of passage is graduating high school. I think it makes us realize that we have to grow up to deal with the real world. Growing up takes our whole lifetime because we’re always developing and adapting.

Tierryn

10/4/2018 01:19:52 pm

I agree with the last sentence!

Eli

10/4/2018 01:19:14 pm

In are culture there are many “rites of passages”, but to me the biggest one is when you can understand and sympathize with. This was sally happens when you leave the house. I think that experiences help you grow up. Most people grow up around 18 but it also depends on what has happened in your life and what you have experienced.

Dillon

10/4/2018 01:20:55 pm

Great point Eli. Did you mean to sympathize with your parents?

Avery

10/4/2018 01:21:11 pm

I agree

Taylee Matthews

10/4/2018 01:23:15 pm

I like that good point

Dillon pilkerton

10/4/2018 01:19:20 pm

One rite of passage in our culture is being able to do things on our own without relying on our parents. As we go through high school this helps us become responsible adults.

Avery

10/4/2018 01:19:38 pm

Some rights of passages are getting your license, college, and graduating. I think they do help u realize that we are growing up.

Ariana

10/4/2018 01:20:32 pm

Very true, those are rites of passages

Taylee Matthews

10/4/2018 01:22:51 pm

Very true Avery

Sam

10/4/2018 01:20:22 pm

A rite of passage that I think symbolizes growing up, at least for today’s culture, is starting high school. In reality, I think that becoming an adult is more a mental thing then based on age because you need to mentally be mature and smart enough to take on the world as an adult.

Treygan

10/4/2018 01:21:52 pm

This is really good

Eli

10/4/2018 01:23:09 pm

Do you think you are a adult.

Sam

10/4/2018 01:24:20 pm

No I will always be a child

Taija

10/4/2018 01:21:01 pm

A rites of passage would be getting your drivers license or graduating high school. Yes it makes you feel more grown up. Growing up takes different amount of time for everyone

Taylee Matthews

10/4/2018 01:22:13 pm

Some rites of passage we have is getting our drivers license and graduating high school. They teach us responsibility which helps us learn to grow up.

Sam

10/4/2018 01:24:55 pm

I agree that teaching responsibility helps you grow up.

Miriam

10/8/2018 01:33:32 pm

Yes it can teach us to grow

Brooke

10/8/2018 01:37:32 pm

I agree by graduating or getting our drivers lisences it gives us responsibility and we can take things on our own and do things.

Jamie

10/4/2018 01:22:36 pm

We will never truly know when “we’re grown up” because no matter what they’re is still so much to learn and experience. Maybe I wouldn’t say we grow up (physically we do) but learning and maturing from expirences gives us a sense of life fulfillment and maturity.

Miriam

10/8/2018 01:32:16 pm

When we are 18 we get the right to vote. But I personally think it depends on the person for how long it takes them to mature all the way. And rites of passage only help you grow up if you let them.

Brooke

10/8/2018 01:33:20 pm

I agree with you. You have to be mature about this kind of stuff and just because your 18 doesn’t mean you matured

Taija

12/17/2018 01:33:41 pm

Yes it does take different amounts of time for different people

Brooke

10/8/2018 01:32:23 pm

Some rights of passage is when you turn 18 you have a right to vote. It gives us responsibility to put our input on who we think about and why.

Miriam

10/8/2018 01:34:42 pm

Even though I used the same thing as you , I love how we took it differently.

Taija

12/17/2018 01:33:08 pm

I didn’t think about the voting thing.
