Proposition 4

[MystictheHedgehog]

I don't know...yes there are those out there that could easily handle moving the age of being a legal adult down to 16, but there are too many immature teenagers out there that couldn't handle this type of responsibility. That's the real issue, and why I support this Proposition 4. Trust me, I understand there are many mature 15 and 16 year old teens out there, that could probably handle adult responsibility more than their parents can. But growing up in a school system deemed one of the worst in the United States, I can honestly tell you that giving any sort of, well, power, to more than 90% of these kids is a scary thing. I can say maybe that 10% could handle the responsibility.

So, essentially you are looking at it this way. Punish the elite teens, this maybe representing 15% of the teen population, or allow teens who shouldn't have early access to that responsibility to use it.
