While you won't find the word in many actual laws, the principle is there. It's not even remotely feasible to write laws that encompass every case. There will always be someone who gets the short end of the stick in generalizations.
What you're proposing is the ultimate nanny state in which Big Brother deems who deserves what and when, on a person to person basis. I find your idea preposterous because I value personal freedom.
You're a teenager who's pissed off at the system because you don't yet have all the rights of a legal adult. Guess what? You fall into the same category as 90% of teenagers who are pissed off about it.
I agree. I used to be the same way when I was a teenager. In fact it's the most common thing for teenagers to hate the age restrictions, because they think they know better. They don't, it's just a plain and simple fact. As my mother always tells me, youth is wasted on the young. I don't assume I know everything, but at least I try to be as honest about it as I can and keep an open mind to learning and willingness to correct myself when I'm wrong.
The only age restriction I disagree with is I think is alcohol. I think 18 is fine for a drinking age. I didn't start drinking till I was 18...illegally that is...but yeah. >.>
