[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 56130, member: 831"] Actually, I found the article had some interesting points to ponder. I also found it didn't avocate "all" teens having the freedoms and responsibilities of adults, but perhaps some can, and should be allowed, to have those rights. I don't know if giving some sort of competency test is at all a very practical solution, but yes, some teens could could, and frankly DO handle themselves in a more responsible manner than many adults. In our american quest to give our children a "better" life than we had (by better I mean more comfortable and affluent) we deny our children, in particular our teens, the experience, and the appreciation, and what it means to juggle, struggle, and plain bust their rears to achieve.
