Sweet Sixteen?

Yesterday I had my sixteenth b-day. I had a great day. My mom got me some awesome presents. My question is though why Sweet Sixteen? Sixteen used to me that now your able to drive and work. When you turn sixteen you are one step closer to the big eighteen. When you are officially an adult. But is it really still Sweet Sixteen is my question. We start making decisions that will effect the rest of our lives as high school freshmen and some of our generation start working at the age of ten. As frshmen we pick our classes what diploma we'll get, and what clubs we'll join. The first week of high school you usaaul meet the goup of kids that will make into your group of friends. At sixteen you can't drive so way is it sweet?I think that it's just the fact that you know that your capable of good disiions. It is the fact that eveyone remembers that time. the time when you think your grown but still want to be daddy's little girl or act like a kid. Sixteen is when you relize that your childhood is almost over, and you decide to make the most of it. Sixteen is sweet but its a bitter sweet.
