Spoken like a true teenager. You prove the point rather than defend against it, Omera. Maybe you haven't gotten to that part of Anatomy/Physiology yet, where they study the brain. Or maybe you just need to watch a little more Dr. Phil. But age definitely -is- related to emotional maturity. There is a sizeable allowance for extremes, but even with that allowance, a 12-year-old will not have the brain function to understand consequences and logical reasoning, as a 20-year-old. A 14-year-old will not be mentally or emotionally capable of comprehending the possibility of traumatic episodes 20 years in the future, as the result of chosen behaviors today. It's just how the brain develops, and it is why there are age limits in the first place.
