In the UK. And I don't mean "dropping out of high school". School finishes at 16 in the UK, after which you have college, which is optional. After college you can either go out and get a job, or go to university.
In the UK, you need to be 16 to play the national lottery. There are also certain types of slot machines that you can play at 16. The gay and straight age of consent is 16. Also, smoking is illegal to anyone under 16. At age 16, the law changes the way a criminal act is treated by the police and the courts.

You finish high school at 16?!? That's so cool. It's 18 here. But college is also optional. Plus we can't play slot machines, smoke, OR have sex legally until 18. And we have to wait till 21 to drink. Man, I wanna move to England.
Yeah, MTV blows.
