Child Maturity and Today's Society

Looking for the old results?
This is a series of questions dealing with what children should or should not be allowed to do at various ages. Even though these may be slightly different in some cases for boys and girls, this poll will not differentiate between sexes. You are only asked your age and sex in order to know generation these answers originate from. If you have other questions that you would like to see added to this poll, please email me. Thank You!
