"For
many Americans, the 18th birthday is an important one.
Turning 18 means you can vote. It means you can often go away to
get a job or to school.
But
it should never mean that you're left on your own. For too many
young people, turning 18 has been just the beginning of a lonely
and sometimes harrowing journey toward adulthood." -
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton,
December 15, 1999
