The point that many of us are attempting to make is that this is so because of how we currently treat teenagers. When you treat someone like a child they tend to act like a child.

I've known a couple of people who grew up too fast, and that can be kind of ugly sometimes. I'm all in favor of the emancipation of children and the abolishment of school, but atta same time, there's gotta be some kinda line.

The objective reality of the soft of decisions made by twenty-five or thirty-five year oldsters on a routine basis shows that we have a problem. Extending childhood is not the answer.
