These responsibilities arent given to kids because society thinks they are responsible dude..its for our convience...also thought the military was 18..anyways..you can get a job because at one point society needed the manpower and parents wanted their kids to earn their own money, cause life is continously getting more expensive....they can drop out of school..because face it 50 years ago you could still succeed and go to university..old law that has never been changed...you can drive at 16..yet what is the number one cause of deaths among teens? - responsble no...
It too bad that you like to make excuses and think that how you raise your children isnt going to effect them..another good parent in the making...christ
