Many cultures have one or more coming of age birthdays:

• Jewish boys become bar mitzvah on their 13th birthday. Jewish girls girls become bat mitzvah on their 12th birthday, or sometimes on their 13th birthday.

•  In North America, families often mark a girl's 16th birthday with a "sweet sixteen" celebration.
• In some Hispanic-American countries, as well as in Portuguese-speaking Brazil, the quinceanera (Spanish) or festa de quinze anos (Portuguese) celebration traditionally marks a girl's 15th birthday.
• In India, Hindu male children of some castes like Brahmins have the 12th or 13th birthday replaced with a grand "thread ceremony." The child takes a blessed thread and wears it, symbolizing his coming of age. This is called the Upanayana .
• In the Philippines, girls on their 18th birthday or boys on their 21st birthday celebrate a debut.
• In some Asian countries that follow the Zodiac calendar, there is a tradition of celebrating the 60th birthday.
•   In Korea, many celebrate a traditional ceremony of Baek-il (Feast for the 100th day) and Doljanchi (child's first birthday).
• In Japan there is a Coming of Age Day, for all of those who have turned 20 years of age.
•  In the UK cards from the Royal Family are sent to those celebrating their 100th and 105th birthday and every year thereafter.
