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?

Yeah.
We want parents that benefit us, making us special, and trustworthy. well, not all parents are very trustworthy ... but enough to rely some trust on our parents. it's our RIGHT to pick our parents for many different reasons. If i was put in my dad's side, i would be so pissed off because he always distract me from doing a major project unlike my awesome mom. If he's going to distract me, at least support me to get a good grades. f**k legal age rights. =] How am i going to do well in school or graduate? |
