Growing and coming of age in the 21st century can be a troublesome time for many young women. There are a myriad of obstacles to get over such as peer pressure, fitting in with the crowd and often moving schools and having to make new friends. There is the ability and temptation to drink alcohol and drive a car. These all come at the time of girls life when she is awakening to a new chapter in her life, that of becoming a woman. Every culture deals with a woman's coming of age in their own way. In the west generally it is seen that when a girl reaches the age of between 16 and 21 they have come of age. Dependent on religious practices and beliefs the family will celebrate with the individual, sometimes with a religious ceremony and a friends and family gathering.
