In the article, the researchers hypothesize that the continued wiring occurs because of the abundance of new life experiences that occur during young adulthood, such as pursuing post-secondary education, starting a career, forging independence and new social and family relationships.

They are saying that wiring changes due to gaining life experience. If you stop young people from making their own decisions, you are taking away that ability to gain experience. I also don't see anything in their that says the minds of a young person are unable to make decisions.
