the 16 year old brain is not fully developed-----neuroscience is
my field----but I knew that even way back in the ninth grade (freshman high school) The major concerns of my classmates
in CANDID HEALTH CLASS DISCUSSION was---"my mom does not
let me get my ears pierced---that bitch" " can't wait until I am 18
and can DRINK upstate" (upstate was a different state---drinking age 18 and our state 21) and "my mom does not know I smoke and my allowance is NOT ENOUGH" those kids should VOTE?
If one wanted to be reasonable, the brain is not really developed until about 30.
Of course 100 years ago an 18 year old had more sense than someone twice their age today.
