This does not mean they can or cannot do certain things, especially things that an adult would do, like go to school, live on their own, raise a family etc.
This does not mean they cannot be responsible.
This does not mean that people under 21 are unable to make choices, but it does imply that the choices they make may not be the same as a fully developed brain would make. This is all I am saying.

Care to back this up with a scientific study of some kind?
