Another think to keep in mind too, is that a teenagers brain isn't fully developed yet, and can't fully reason like an adult, even though their bodies look grown up, their brains are still developing. . Some of their actions are due to this and overload of horomones.

I agree totally with you here and they - the medical field - have just finished a 10 year study that shows that the REASONING CHEMICAL found in adults are not yet formed in teens..... the medical field stated that the average age for the release of this chemical into our brain was found to be around the age of 22.

.............. based on this new founded INFO - many are trying to get the age for marriage and joining the military changed so that one must be at least 21 before they can partake of either.... and driving to age 18.
