You know, this has been bugging me for about a year as I pieced it all together through rants in my brain. Ever since the slave ages, kids have not had full human rights in America. The closest to having full human rights was child labor, but that was something of slavery as it had tiny wages. Are children not human enough to have full human rights of freedom of speech, right to bear arms and earn a wages from doing something besides house chores?
I have the IQ of 140, and you wanna know something? The reason why my IQ is lower than alts is because I'm not as mature as him. IQ does depend on maturity too bud, and I even have a higher IQ than my OCD responsibility mom :P. So IQ does matter as far as us being whiny little brats.
Its true that your not developed enough. You are growing! Your not even done with puberty until your 18ish.
We haven't been able to get up and go to work BECAUSE YOU WON'T LET US
If you want to work get a paper route, i had one made 9 bucks an hour.
And if you want more rights wait a few years. Its not like you dont get to vote ever for all of your life. For the most of your life you WILL have rights. I mean you only have to wait until 21 until you have full rights (so you get like 60 years with rights). you can start driving around 16 and have a job (at least its 16 in this state) then you can start voting at 18.
Grrrrrr. . .I lost my post. Anyway, basically I was going to dsay that Iq isn't a factor in maturity- so Communist's point owuld be invalid. IT's just your ability t keep a level head that matters.

A paper route is supressing our inner potential thus subconciously encouraging us to go to a dead end job and barely have ourselves fed until we can find a female/male to mate with!

Even so kids should have the right to get a kick start in life and be able to be a billionare instead of wait another 12 years just to get to a bad job.

And what are we not developed enough for? Do you need to have your balls dropped and have pimples in order to get a headstart in your life and start becoming an accountant or a printer boy if you love machinery? hmm?

Allright, what can YOU do, that I can not?
Who cares if I am growing?
Paper rout> ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING! Allright, maybe were you lived that was nice and dandy, but here......ah screw it. I can go sell crack if you would like? That's a way to make money, and it is ALOT more then 9 bucks an hour.
So really, it would keep us out of trouble, and help the econmoy.
IQ is a standard deviation, so yea, 125 would be in the top 5%. Still, I don't hold much belief in them. They are just measurements of your capacity to learn, not your real intelligence.
As for not having human rights, kids have all the rights they need. Just because some kids are smart doesn't justify giving all kids extra civil responsibilities. All kids need to be concerned with is school, then focus on whatever they want to do.

You see that's the problem, people think this but some kids want to excel and get a head start in life. Like once I get done with school I come here to AG and debate and go to the ZSC to test my survival ability and creative prowess. I want to excel and I do it the best I can, but it's not enough. It purely isn't enough for me to get anywhere and adults such as my mom, dad, and neighboors don't allow me to do so because they think exactly what you're thinking. Some kids wanna grow up because they actually don't like childhood.

Most kids think they are the business when they were younger, and then grow up and realise they weren't all that special. I ask you. What could a child do better that a qualified and trained adult?
This is simply ridiculous. Most kids can't even look after themselves. I wouldn't trust them running anything of importance above qualified, trained adults.
Children would be better prepared for adulthood if they did some activities like public speaking, as well as learning life skills. It sounds corny, I know, but it's worked for almost all my friends, who are now becoming or have became well-prepared, successful adults.

I've been self-sufficient ever since I learned to cook at seven. But I totally agree with you firefly, I would HATE to see my peers at this age running this country.

That's why I said most not all. If you changed it, you'd have to do so for all kids.
Even incredibly gifted kids would have no real experience of anything. Plus, you're a kid. Have fun. Trust me, the novelty of doing work wears out pretty quick.

That is why I wonder why we can't be trained before we actualy get qualified? I'm talking about headstarts, not diving into a profession headfirst and hitting the bottom of the pool.
Children don't have rights because they are not "responsible" and 18 is the average age where children are mature enough to vote, carry firearms, and all that fun stuff. I believe that the 18 year old thing is based on a scientific experiment thingy where they figured out someone's mental age. I am not totally sure though. I find it stupid, though that you have to be 21 to drink!

School is your training. We can't have an illiterate/numerically backwards working adult population now can we? You specialise later on in life once you have finished your education.
