The brain and mind continue to develop throughout your lifespan. At 31 I'm capable of making better decision than I was at 21. That doesn't mean at 21 that I was incapable of making decisions and understanding the consequences.
Like I said before, at 16 and 17, "kids" are going to be in their final year of highschool or graduated and usually living on their own. They aren't kids anymore. You either had the most boring last year of highschool/first year of university ever, or you are being wilfully blind to what people at that age are actually like.
