this question was asked in my gov class today.. should 15 yr olds be allowed to make the decision themselves? or are they not able/mature enough to make such an important decision themselves?

Of course.. they may be not mature enough to vote, but choosing which parent to live with? I think so. They DO know which parent they'd like living with more, right?
