13 is just as capable as 18 no freaking doubt. Society treats them like babies, they are not babies. And yes a 13 year old should be able to vote, drink, go to war, drive, all those things. guess what they can't cause the law says they are babies. Who made 18 the age? I mean seriously, i'm trying to understand why society think 18 is a magical age and history and nature ( reproductive around age 13) tells us otherwise. The only thing preventing 13 year olds from success is society, not the fact they are 13. 13 is really the age an adult should be IMO.
Is there anybody that honestly agrees/thinks that 13 should be the legal adult age and this means TOTAL ADULT
living on thier own all rights that a 18 year old has and more
drinking
gun ownership
choice to go to school or not
work
sex
draft into war or volunteer
drive
fla a plane
etc etc
So the question is:
Should 13 be the legal age of full adult and rights and do you consider them equal to 18yr old
yes of course no doubt
yes with some concern
no but maybe 16
no thats insane
other
and if you do i would LOVE to hear any facts or sound logic backing this claim up.
being 13 once, having a large family, raising a daughter passed that point and working with 13yr olds for 11 years I personally think this idea is mentally insane, irrational, delusional and has zero logic to support it.
many 13 yr olds would kill themselves and others if treated like adults
