The laws require that someone be eighteen to do anything that doesn't require their parents' consent. Some parents aren't fit to make the decisions for their children. That's all I'm saying. Teenagers have so much influence on the way things happen, but we are so restricted that we can't do a darn thing. Maybe some of us want to live.

At some point in teenage life, every kid feels this way. I did. All my friends did.
Parents are simply people, just like you, only they have the age and the experience that comes with that. This is why parents take responsibility for their children, and kids don't get to make the decisions on their own.
How many kids go to your school? How many kids get in trouble at school in a given week?
Now let's look at a company with as many employees as students at your school. Do you think as many employees get in trouble as do kids at your school? I imagine if it were the same the company would struggle to stay in business.
I know as a teenager you feel like an adult, but you are still growing and your brain is still expanding. Eighteen might feel like a million years away, but trust me, it will be there and gone much sooner than you think.
